The die-cutting process of Corrugated Box is an important part of the carton manufacturing process, which determines the final shape and size of the carton. The following is a detailed explanation of the die-cutting process of Corrugated Box:
1. Overview of die-cutting process
The die-cutting process is a key process in the manufacturing process of Corrugated Box. It uses a special die-cutting plate (also called a knife plate or steel plate) to cut the predetermined shape and size on the corrugated cardboard. The die-cutting plate is usually made of metal and engraved with various complex cutting lines to achieve precise carton forming.
2. Classification of die-cutting process
There are three main types of die-cutting processes for Corrugated Box: flat die-cutting, round die-cutting and round die-cutting.
Flat die-cutting: using a flat die and a flat die-cutting knife, the blade cuts through the entire corrugated cardboard at the same time during die-cutting, with high die-cutting precision and low cost, but slow speed, suitable for small batch, high-precision carton production.
Round die-cutting: Based on the flat die-cutting, it has been improved. A cylindrical pressure roller is used instead of a pressure plate, so that the pressure on the machine during die-cutting is smaller and more evenly distributed, but the production efficiency is still low, which is suitable for medium-volume production.
Round die-cutting: The die-cutting roller rotates continuously, with the highest production efficiency and high product die-cutting precision, which can be controlled within ±1 mm. At the same time, the equipment is simple to operate, safe and reliable, and has a long service life, which is suitable for large-scale, high-precision carton production.
3. Die-cutting process
The process of die-cutting process includes the following steps:
Prepare the die-cutting plate: Make the corresponding die-cutting plate according to the design size and shape of the carton.
Adjust the die-cutting machine: Install the die-cutting plate on the die-cutting machine and adjust the machine parameters, such as pressure, speed, etc.
Feeding: Feed the corrugated cardboard into the die-cutting machine.
Die-cutting: The die-cutting machine cuts on the corrugated cardboard according to the shape and size of the die-cutting plate.
Waste treatment: Collect and treat the waste generated during the cutting process.
Finished product inspection: Perform quality inspection on the die-cut cartons to ensure that they meet the design requirements.
The die-cutting process of Corrugated Box is a key step in realizing carton forming. Different die-cutting methods are suitable for production requirements of different scales and precisions. In actual production, appropriate die-cutting processes and equipment should be selected according to specific circumstances to ensure product quality and production efficiency.
