semi automatic cardboard stitching machine is the most commonly used and economical post nailing equipment in cardboard box factories and packaging workshops, which is between pure manual box nailing and fully automatic box nailing machines, perfectly balancing efficiency, cost, and flexibility.
Core features of the semi automatic carton box stitcher machine
Human machine integration: The core feature is “manual paper feeding and folding, automatic machine stitching”. The operator manually folds and aligns the punched cardboard sheets, and then sends the box into the machine for automatic nailing and counting.
High cost-effectiveness: The price is much lower than that of a fully automatic nail box machine, but the efficiency is much higher than that of a manual nail gun. Fast return on investment is a standard equipment for small and medium-sized cardboard box factories.
Strong flexibility: Fast order changing speed, simply adjust the size of the baffle and the position of the nail head to adapt to different sizes and fastening methods (single nail, double nail, reinforced nail) of cardboard boxes.
Simple structure, sturdy and durable: The mechanical structure is relatively simple, with low failure rate, easy maintenance, and low technical requirements for operators.
