ZRAY Multi-Size Adjustable Carton Erecting Machine with Quick Changeover (Under 5 Minutes) | ZRAY
ZRAY has released a multi-size adjustable carton erecting machine built for plants that change case dimensions several times per shift. The new platform keeps the full 200–600 × 150–450 × 100–500 mm forming range on one machine and cuts tool-free changeover to under 5 minutes, with most size jumps done in 3 minutes by a single operator.
What Makes Changeover Quick
The machine uses a servo-positioned mandrel and flap guides with preset changeover recipes stored in the Siemens PLC. Switch size, recall the recipe, and the machine repositions itself; no physical tooling swap is required for single-wall boards in the standard range.
- Preset recipes for common sizes reduce operator decisions to a number pick.
- Tool-free adjustment for flap guides and the magazine width guide.
- Auto flap pre-break adapts to the new blank’s score-line position.
Core parameters
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Speed | 15–25 CPM |
| Case range L × W × H | 200–600 × 150–450 × 100–500 mm |
| Changeover time | Under 5 min (typical 3 min, one operator) |
| Board types | Single wall B / C / BC flute, 3–7 mm, 200–500 gsm |
| Bottom sealing | Hot melt 150–170 °C or tape |
| Air pressure | 0.5–0.7 MPa |
| Power | 3.5–5.5 kW |
Where It Fits
The quick-changeover build targets e-commerce fulfillment, contract packing, and multi-SKU food and beverage plants, where a case size change used to mean a 15-minute setup and lost output. Combined with the ZRAY low carton jamming rate and CE/EAC certification, the machine handles mixed production without an extra setup technician.
The changeover comparison on a typical multi-SKU line tells the story:
| Metric | Manual setup | ZRAY recipe changeover |
|---|---|---|
| Time per size change | 10–15 min | Under 5 min (typical 3 min) |
| Operators needed | 1–2 | 1 |
| Lost output per change | 3–5 cases | 1 case |
| Risk of setup error | High (from memory) | Low (PLC-confirmed) |
On a line making five size changes per shift, the difference is roughly 30–60 extra minutes of production per day, which is the payback argument for the multi-size platform on its own.
