Box Erecting Machine FAQ: Your Questions Answered

Q: How difficult is it to change over the machine for a different box size?
A: With the NEW STAR system, changeovers are remarkably simple. Our servo-driven design allows operators to input new dimensions directly on the touchscreen HMI. Most adjustments are tool-less and can be completed in minutes, not hours, significantly reducing downtime for short production runs.

Q: Can this machine handle various carton styles, like auto-bottom or four-corner trays?
A: Absolutely. Our Box Erecting Machine platform is highly versatile. It can be configured with different forming heads and feeding systems to reliably erect a wide range of corrugated carton styles, including standard RSC, auto-bottom (HSC), and tray designs. Consulting with our engineers will ensure the perfect configuration for your specific cartons.

Q: What kind of maintenance routine does a machine like this require?
A. NEW STAR machines are built for durability and easy upkeep. Daily maintenance typically involves simple visual checks and cleaning. The primary periodic tasks are lubricating guide rails and inspecting wear parts like suction cups. The intuitive HMI provides maintenance reminders and fault diagnostics to support your team, ensuring peak performance and long machine life.

The future of packaging automation is clear: it is intelligent, adaptable, and efficient. Investing in a Box Erecting Machine that embodies these principles is an investment in your operational resilience and competitive edge. NEW STAR doesn't just sell machines; we deliver tailored automation solutions designed to evolve with your business needs.
