MINSK, Belarus, July 25, 2026 — Zray, a leading Chinese manufacturer of carton forming and packaging machinery, has successfully delivered and commissioned a batch of single-piece carton forming machines at a major logistics park serving the Belarusian distribution sector. The installation marks the facility’s transition from predominantly manual carton assembly to automated forming, resulting in a measured 35% reduction in per-unit packaging labor cost within the first month of operation.

The delivery comprises six Zray ZCF-S series single-piece forming units, each capable of processing up to 12 cartons per minute across a range of corrugated board grades from B-flute to BC-flute. The machines were configured to handle the logistics park’s primary carton sizes — 400×300×250 mm and 500×400×300 mm — which account for over 80% of the facility’s daily throughput. Prior to automation, carton forming at the site relied on a team of eight operators working across two shifts; the new installation reduces manpower requirements to three operators per shift while increasing total output volume by approximately 40%.

The logistics park operator evaluated three international suppliers before selecting Zray, citing the equipment’s price-to-performance ratio, documented uptime in comparable installations, and the availability of localized after-sales support through Zray’s Minsk-based service partner. Commissioning was completed within five working days, including operator training and integration with the facility’s existing conveyor systems.

The ZCF-S series features a servo-driven suction arm for reliable sheet separation, an IEC-compliant control cabinet with Siemens PLC, and a hot-melt glue system from Nordson for consistent bond quality. The machines are equipped with Allen-Bradley safety relays and light curtains meeting Category 4 / PL e requirements under ISO 13849-1, a specification that the logistics park’s technical team specifically requested during procurement.

“We are seeing strong demand across the Belarusian market for automation that bridges the gap between entry-level semi-automatic equipment and fully integrated packaging lines,” said Mr. Zhang Wei, Export Director for the CIS region at Zray. “This logistics park deployment demonstrates that our single-piece forming machines deliver measurable cost savings and throughput improvements in real-world distribution environments, not just in factory settings.”

The logistics park has indicated plans to evaluate additional Zray equipment for its secondary sorting and repacking operations in the fourth quarter of 2026, depending on continued performance metrics from the current installation. Zray maintains a spare parts inventory in Minsk covering critical wear components, with a 48-hour onsite response commitment for any service events.
