Selection and application of the hottest automatic

Selection and application of automatic box pasting machine (Part 1)

in the packaging and printing industry, automatic box pasting machine is one of the important post press processing equipment. At present, with the rapid development of China's packaging and printing industry, the application of automatic box pasting machine is more and more extensive. For example, the packaging boxes of food, medicine, health products, cosmetics, alcohol, light industrial products, etc., are basically processed by automatic box pasting machine. However, for a long time, the industry has paid far less attention to automatic box pasting machines than prepress and printing equipment, and the understanding of automatic box pasting machines is far from enough. Many packaging and printing enterprises still have some misunderstandings when purchasing automatic box pasting machines. How to correctly view the gap between domestic automatic box pasting machine and imported automatic box pasting machine? How can domestic automatic box pasting machine manufacturers cope with the challenge? How can a packaging and printing factory choose its own automatic box pasting machine? What is the future development prospect and direction of the automatic box pasting machine? This article will discuss these topics with you

comparison between domestic and imported automatic box pasting machines

1 Understanding gap

domestic automatic box pasting machines are relatively dominant in terms of price, generally around 300000 yuan to 700000 yuan, while the price of imported automatic box pasting machines is much higher than this figure. For example, the price of boster media series automatic box pasting machines is more than 1.2 million yuan. However, there is still a big gap between the domestic automatic box pasting machine and the imported automatic box pasting machine in terms of quality and performance, which is difficult to compete with the imported automatic box pasting machine, mainly reflected in the following aspects

(1) box type adaptability

the function of domestic automatic box pasting machine is relatively single, which can only adapt to oneortwo general box types, and at present, it can only produce ordinary square boxes. While foreign automatic box pasting machine manufacturers pay special attention to the processing requirements of customers for complex box types. Therefore, imported automatic box pasting machines can adapt to more diversified box types, such as hexagonal boxes, octagonal boxes and special-shaped boxes

according to Mr. Liu Zheng of boster (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., the alpina series automatic box pasting machine launched by boster for the high-end market has more complete functions, and some functions cannot be provided by other manufacturers, such as turning around when loading the box. At present, alpina series automatic box pasting machine has been widely used in European and American countries

(2) scalability and flexibility

the imported automatic box pasting machine has stronger scalability. For example, the boster media series automatic box pasting machine adopts modular design, and users can add corresponding functional modules or components to the automatic box pasting machine according to the specific situation of the product, so there is no need to modify the model structure, which has high flexibility. In contrast, domestic automatic box pasting machines are much inferior. For example, some automatic box pasting machines can only be used as ordinary straight-line boxes or bottom lock boxes. If other functions need to be added, it is more difficult. We must reform the model structure of Jinan experimental machine factory based on the principle of manufacturer production

(3) stability

in terms of stability, imported automatic box pasting machines should also win. The failure rate of domestic automatic box pasting machines is high. Therefore, many packaging and printing plants that choose domestic equipment generally have multiple domestic automatic box pasting machines to avoid affecting normal production and delaying delivery due to machine maintenance

(4) box pasting speed

in addition, according to Mr. Liu Zheng, the normal production speed of boster alpina series automatic box pasting machine can reach 450 m/min or 500 m/min, and the maximum can even reach 650 m/min

(5) degree of automation

in terms of degree of automation, the domestic automatic box pasting machine cannot be comparable with the imported automatic box pasting machine. For example, when a product is produced and another product with different box type is replaced, the adjustment of the domestic automatic box pasting machine is more troublesome. Basically, the machine puts the test product on the experimental table and completes it manually, which is time-consuming and laborious

the imported automatic box pasting machine adopts automatic control and can display specific values on the display screen

Mr. Liu Zheng talked about his views on the automation of the automatic box pasting machine. He said that the labor cost in foreign countries is relatively high. Therefore, foreign users have more prominent requirements for the automation of the automatic box pasting machine. The high degree of automation of the equipment means that the number of employees can be reduced and costs can be saved. However, the domestic situation is not the case. The relatively cheap labor cost is the characteristic of the Chinese market. Therefore, domestic users do not pay much attention to the automation of the automatic box pasting machine, which is also one of the factors restricting the development of domestic automatic box pasting machine

(6) operability

in operability, the imported automatic box pasting machine is simpler and more humanized than the domestic automatic box pasting machine, while the domestic automatic box pasting machine is worse in humanized design, which is more "rigid". Many box pasting machine manufacturers and users believe that as long as they can ensure the normal operation of the machine, everything will be fine. As for humanization, they seldom consider it. Even some box pasting machine manufacturers think that it is not worth working hard in this regard

Mr. Liu Zheng pointed out that in terms of operability, there is a big gap between domestic automatic box pasting machines and imported automatic box pasting machines, almost a generation or two apart

(7) in terms of service life

the service life of the domestic automatic box pasting machine is less than that of the imported automatic box pasting machine, mainly because the materials and processing technology used by the domestic automatic box pasting machine are lagging behind those abroad

although there is still a considerable gap between the domestic automatic box pasting machine and the imported automatic box pasting machine, Mr. Chen Han, the sales manager of Wenzhou Qunying Printing Machinery Co., Ltd., also emphasized some advantages of the domestic automatic box pasting machine, such as the better adaptability of the domestic automatic box pasting machine to paper. The quality of paper used abroad is relatively good, while the quality of domestic paper is relatively poor. Therefore, the domestic automatic box pasting machine has a wider range of adaptability to paper

2. According to Mr. Liu Zheng, about 50 boster media series automatic box pasting machines have been sold in China since they entered the Chinese market in 1996. It can be said that at present, the high-end market of domestic box pasting machines is almost occupied by boster

Mr. Liu Zheng also pointed out that the domestic automatic box pasting machine manufacturing industry started relatively late, and it began to develop around the 1980s and 1990s. Generally, it imitates the automatic box pasting machine made in Italy or Japan, but these machines are designed based on the model of the automatic box pasting machine produced by boster before the 1960s. So far, no domestic manufacturer of automatic box pasting machine can imitate the product model of boster group in the 1990s

at present, most domestic automatic box pasting machine manufacturers are still imitating foreign equipment. Of course, some domestic manufacturers now introduce foreign advanced technology at any cost, but the most critical thing is to have their own core technology and develop their own products. Moreover, we should change the traditional concept of winning by price, adhere to winning by quality, steadily improve the quality of products, and gradually achieve international standards

as Mr. Liu Zheng said: if domestic manufacturers want to develop, they can't just stay at the level of imitation. They must start with research and development, cultivate their own research and development team, and comprehensively improve their core competitiveness. At the same time, we should also recognize the development trend of the whole market, and have a sense of advance. We should not only be able to meet the current needs of users, but also consider the future development needs of users, so as to better serve users

of course, we also see that domestic automatic box pasting machine manufacturers are trying to narrow this gap. Moreover, domestic automatic box pasting machines have also made certain achievements in quality, performance and so on, which is a fact that cannot be ignored. For example, Wenzhou Qunying Printing Machinery Co., Ltd. developed and produced zy-880 Series A, B, C and D automatic box pasting machines based on the introduction of advanced foreign automatic box pasting machine technology and the actual situation in China. Among them, zy-880d automatic box pasting machine has relatively complete functions and can basically adapt to most box types currently popular in the market

according to manager Chen Han, at present, zy-880 series automatic box pasting machines are not only supplied to the domestic market, but also exported to Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, America and Africa, with an annual sales volume of about 150
