Four-Line Paper Box and Tray Forming Machine is a specialized piece of equipment designed to produce paper boxes used for packaging food items such as hamburgers and french fries, as well as food transport boxes made from paper, fruit and vegetable carriers, packaging trays, paper plates, and similar items. This machine is ideal for fast-food restaurants, cafés, catering services, and the food packaging industry. Using a forming method, it produces boxes of various sizes and shapes and fully automates every stage of packaging. It is capable of producing different products simultaneously. Equipped with four suction-fed feeding lines, this machine is particularly preferred for high-volume and multi-product production.
Core Functions and Features of the Box Folding and Gluing Machine
Paper Feeding: The machine can produce various items at the same time. It includes four feeding channels, making it ideal for higher-capacity and multi-type product output. It manually feeds printed or unprinted printed and die-cut paper sheets. These papers are made from durable, food-safe materials such as fluted paper, single-face cardboard, or uncoated bristol or kraft paper.
Forming: The paper is transferred into molds in desired shapes and sizes. At this stage, it can be shaped into boxes like hamburger or chip containers, or into rectangular or square formats.
Folding and Shaping: The machine folds the paper into a box shape. The folding process ensures that all four corners are perfectly aligned and form a stable structure.
Gluing: Based on the box’s design, its sides, bottom, and top are glued accordingly. Side and bottom flaps of the paper box are sealed with adhesive by the machine.
Box Finalization: Boxes are completely folded and glued by the machine, then nested and prepared for transport and service. This stage ensures that the boxes are shaped properly and remain intact during packaging, avoiding deformation.
High-Speed Production & Efficiency: A modern machine can produce 200 boxes per minute on each line, totaling 800 boxes per minute across all four lines. These machines operate fully automatically, minimizing the need for human intervention.
