- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 1,000 to 3,000 boxes per hour, depending on box size and complexity.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with a power consumption of 3-5 kW.
- Air supply
- Pneumatic systems are common, requiring a compressed air supply of around 6 bar with a typical consumption of 100-300 litres/minute.
- Box material compatibility
- Typically handles a range of corrugated and solid board materials, with varying flute types and thicknesses.
- Footprint
- A box former of this nature commonly occupies a floor space of approximately 2.5m x 1.5m, plus space for material loading and output.
- Changeover time
- For different box sizes, changeover times typically range from 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the level of automation and operator experience.
