How the HS Series corrugated cardboard printing, slotting and die-cutting machine works
1. Feeding and vacuum transfer: the corrugated cardboard sheets are picked up automatically and transferred via the full vacuum system, ensuring precise positioning from the machine inlet to the outlet, with no slipping or misalignment.
2. Dust removal (triple system): before printing, the cardboard surface is cleaned by an electrostatic device, dust blowing and an adhesive roller, guaranteeing optimal ink adhesion.
3. HD flexographic printing: the printing units apply the ink at a resolution of 90–133 LPI on the cardboard surface, with an accuracy of ±0,3 mm on each colour.
4. Synchronized varnishing: the varnishing department applies the varnish immediately after printing, in the same flow, increasing the drying speed and the finish quality.
5. Infrared drying with thermal control: the infrared drying system with temperature control fixes the ink and varnish at high speeds without deforming the cardboard.
6. Slotting and creasing: the computerized slotting unit produces the grooves and fold lines with an accuracy of ±1,5 mm, with automatic adjustment of the knife spacing.
7. Die-cutting: the die-cutting unit cuts out the final format of the box with an accuracy of ±1 mm, directly in line with the other operations.
8. Stacking and discharge: the finished boxes are stacked automatically and discharged for packing or shipping, with no manual intervention in the flow.
Frequently asked questions about the HS Series corrugated cardboard printing, slotting and die-cutting machine
What does "full vacuum transfer" mean and why is it important?
On classic corrugated cardboard printing, slotting and die-cutting machines with chain or belt transport, the cardboard can slip slightly during the transfer between stations, affecting the registration accuracy of the print. The HS series full vacuum transfer system keeps the cardboard fixed through continuous suction along the entire path, eliminating slipping and ensuring a constant positioning accuracy of ±0,3 mm for printing and ±1 mm for die-cutting, regardless of speed.
Can the HS Series machine replace an offset machine for corrugated cardboard?
Yes, this is the main function it was designed for. Through the HD resolution of 90–133 LPI, the integrated varnishing department and precise colour control, the HS Series corrugated cardboard printing, slotting and die-cutting machine produces graphic results comparable to offset, at a lower cost per piece for industrial runs. It also eliminates the separate stages of offset printing + cutting + slotting, significantly reducing processing times and labour costs.
How quickly can an order be changed on the HS Series?
The fully computerized system allows the parameters of the new order to be entered directly from the touch screen of the independent console. The HS Series machine automatically reconfigures the slotting knife spacing, the die-cutting parameters and the print registration without extensive manual mechanical adjustments. The network function allows the order to be prepared remotely before the current run is finished.
How do I choose between the 920G, 1224G and 1628G models?
The choice depends on format and volume: the 920G (max 860×2080 mm, 250 pcs./min) is for intensive production on constant medium formats; the 1224G (max 1160×2480 mm, 200 pcs./min) offers the best balance between area and productivity, being suited to variable orders; the 1628G (max 1540×2880 mm, 150 pcs./min) is for large boxes for home appliances, furniture and industrial components. UZINEX recommends the optimal model after evaluating the production flow.
What corrugated cardboard thicknesses can the HS Series process?
All three models (920G, 1224G, 1628G) process corrugated cardboard with thicknesses between 2 mm and 9 mm, covering both single wall and standard double wall structures from the packaging industry. The standard printing plate thickness is 7,2 mm on all variants, ensuring compatibility with the usual flexo plates.
