The big machines in the Lincheng factory are always running to make the cardboard for boxes. It’s fascinating to watch the paper become these sturdy boxes that can hold things.
It all begins with big rolls of paper. These caught rolls enter a machine that mixed water and heat to reduce the paper fibers. This is called pulping. When pulped the paper is compressed and dried to sturdy cardboard.
Eventually the cardboard is in big sheets, for cutting. These sheets are then folded and laminated into boxes. Some boxes are formed by hand, but many are manufactured by machines. The corrugated cardboard production line machines are fast and can churn out hundreds of boxes in a matter of minutes.
There are a lot of machines at the Lincheng factory to assist in making the cardboard. These machines are “configured to do certain tasks, whether it’s to cut a piece of cardboard or to bend it,” he said. The liner carton machine allow the factory to produce more boxes faster, helping the bottom line, after all.
Lincheng is constantly looking for new ways to make packaging that’s good for the Earth. They do this is in part by using recycled paper to create cardboard. This cuts down on waste and saves trees. The factory is also trying to find ways to reduce the amount of electricity its machines consume.
Technology is far more important in the way cardboard is made at the Lincheng factory. There are carton production line machines that can cut the cardboard really accurately, really quickly. There are cameras and sensors, too, ensuring that each box is formed properly. With advanced technology, relatively good factory produce high-quality and safe boxes.
