Semi-Automatic Side Seam Gluing for Corrugated Boxes

Semi-Automatic Side Seam Gluing for Corrugated Boxes

Description

The BES® Side Seam Gluer is a robust and versatile semi-automatic solution for gluing and sealing corrugated boxes, cartons and cases.

Designed for companies looking for a flexible alternative to setting up a conventional folder-gluer, the BES Side Seam Gluer provides a simple and efficient way to produce side-seam cartons across a wide range of sizes.

Ideal for short and medium production runs, the machine is quick to set up and easy to operate, making it particularly suited to packaging manufacturers, printers and converters handling a wide variety of carton styles and batch sizes.

Flexible, Simple and Cost-Effective

The BES Side Seam Gluer is designed around ease of use and flexibility.

Operators can quickly adjust the machine to accommodate different carton widths, allowing multiple box formats to be processed on the same machine without lengthy changeovers.

The controlled belt and roller system transports the carton through the gluing process, providing consistent positioning and reliable adhesive application.

The result is a straightforward, dependable solution for businesses that need to glue side-seam cartons efficiently without dedicating valuable production time to setting up a larger automated folder-gluer.

Key Benefits

  • Semi-automatic operation for simple and efficient carton production
  • Quick and easy setup for different carton sizes
  • Suitable for short, medium and repeat production runs
  • Adjustable working width to accommodate a wide range of carton formats
  • Variable belt speed for controlled carton handling
  • Robust construction designed for demanding production environments
  • Consistent carton positioning throughout the gluing process
  • Ideal for corrugated packaging manufacturers, printers and converters
  • Compact offline solution that can be used independently of a folder-gluer
  • Can reduce setup time and make smaller production runs more economical

Designed for Flexibility

With adjustable working widths available in 800mm, 1200mm and 1600mm, the BES Side Seam Gluer can be configured to suit different production requirements.

The machine features adjustable roller centres and a variable belt speed from 5 to 25 metres per minute, giving operators greater control over the carton as it passes through the gluing process.

This flexibility makes the BES Side Seam Gluer suitable for a broad range of corrugated packaging applications.

Ideal for Short Production Runs

For smaller batches, setting up a conventional folder-gluer can take valuable production time.

The BES Side Seam Gluer provides an alternative approach.

Its straightforward design allows operators to set up the machine for a particular carton format and begin production quickly, making it particularly useful for short runs, repeat orders, sampling and specialist carton production.

It can also be used as a dedicated offline gluing station, freeing your main folder-gluer for larger production orders.

Robust Construction

Built for industrial packaging applications, the BES Side Seam Gluer combines a robust mechanical design with simple controls to provide reliable day-to-day operation.

The machine is designed to be easy to operate and maintain, helping to minimise downtime and keep production moving.
