The new SCM technological solutions for batch-1 cardboard packaging are designed for more flexible and sustainable production processes in the assembled furniture and kit sector.
Up to four made-to-measure boxes per minute, different in shape and size, produced just in time for flexible and sustainable packaging are possible with the new cut c 100/200 right size box making machines that further expand the range of SCM technologies for cardboard packaging.
These new entries have been developed in line with growing demand by manufacturers of assembled and kit furniture for solutions that guarantee maximum flexibility, without compromising on high productivity levels.
The secret of batch-1 packaging or order-by-order lies with the independent cutting and longitudinal creasing units and the transversal unit. Both allow for the creation of shapes that vary considerably from one another and in a shorter period of time compared to market standards: more than two boxes per minute per cut c 100 and more than four per cut c 200. This is possible thanks also to the high advancement speed and use of a brushless motor with extremely fast positioning set-up.
Use of both the machines is simple and intuitive.
The operator can call up the required box from the interface, by reading a barcode, or by using the scanbox, that automatically transmits the sizes of the product to be packed, to the machine via barcode reading in real time.
No more waste
One other advantage is the possibility of optimizing the consumption of cardboard based on the actual sizes of the box produced. With the cut c 100/200 models, a choice can be made between three different types of feed: single sheet cardboard or fanfold, with side-by-side fanfolds or with automatic selector up to eight fanfolds. The machine then selects the most suitable size automatically from among those available.
The packaging is put together based on the actual sizes of the product, which avoids using expensive additional filling materials and encourages a saving in manpower times.
Storage and movement of dozens of boxes of different shapes will no longer be a problem with the new cut c 100/200 range, with considerable advantages, in this case as well, for the operator's everyday work.
SCM's new punching machines are standard fitted with seven cutting and creasing units. There is, however, the option of choosing a configuration with 12 units to achieve up to two flanked boxes.
Lastly, each unit can fit different kinds of tools (with the added advantage of having standard longitudinal and transversal units on cut c 200 and preparation is fully automatic.
