Folding-2590 Automatic Box Folding Machine

The Folding-2590 is a corrugated board box automatic folding machine with a patented design, the first in the industry in its configuration, equipped with 7 real longitudinal knives individually driven by dedicated servomotors for high-precision automatic positioning. With a constant-temperature adhesive system, a dynamic glue gun and automatic double thermal insulation, this automatic box folding machine ensures uniform adhesive application along the entire length of the edge and a superior firmness of the seal compared with conventional systems — at an efficiency of 4–7 pcs/minute and a processing range of up to 2.800 mm length on the Pro version.

Unlike folding systems with grouped knives driven by a single motor, the Folding-2590 automatic box folding machine uses individual servomotors for each of the 7 longitudinal knives, allowing the independent positioning of each knife with high precision and the complete adjustment of the folding geometry with a single click from the control panel. The Italian-origin mechanical design and the double thermal insulation system of the adhesive complete a machine conceived for continuous production at superior industrial quality standards.

Key advantages of the Folding-2590 automatic box folding machine

• 7 longitudinal knives with individual servomotors — maximum accuracy per knife — unlike systems with knives grouped on the same drive shaft, the Folding-2590 machine equips each of the 7 longitudinal knives with its own servomotor, allowing the independent and extremely precise positioning of each knife and achieving complex folding geometries impossible to obtain with grouped drive.

• High-precision automatic positioning — the 7 individual servomotors perform high-precision automatic positioning of the knives at each format change, with no manual mechanical adjustments and no positioning errors caused by the wear of a grouped mechanical transmission.

• Complete automatic flap folding — the Folding-2590 machine performs the complete automatic folding of all box flaps with no manual intervention, ensuring that each flap reaches the correct angle before the sealing adhesive is applied.

• Adhesive system with constant-temperature hose + dynamic gun — the adhesive hose kept at a constant temperature and the dynamic glue gun ensure that the adhesive is always applied at optimal viscosity, regardless of ambient temperature variations or production pauses — eliminating gluing defects caused by cooled or overheated adhesive.

• Automatic double thermal insulation — uniform adhesive along the entire length — the automatic double thermal insulation system keeps the adhesive temperature constant along the entire length of the hose and gun, ensuring uniform application of the edge-sealing adhesive across the entire width of the box and a superior joint firmness compared with single-insulation systems.

• One-click box-dimension adjustment — at a format change, the operator selects the new dimensions from the control panel; the Folding-2590 machine automatically reconfigures the positions of all 7 servo knives to the new values with a single click, with no manual intervention on the individual knives.

• Italian-origin mechanical design — the mechanical structure of the Folding-2590 machine is designed according to Italian-origin principles, recognized in the packaging industry for mechanical precision, durability and reliability in continuous production.

• Extended Pro format — length up to 2.800 mm, width up to 1.220 mm — the Pro version of the Folding-2590 machine extends the processing range to 2.800 mm length and 1.220 mm width, covering extra-large format boxes for furniture, household appliances and industrial equipment.

Technical specifications — Folding-2590 automatic box folding machine

The Folding-2590 versus the FQ-P03 — standalone machine vs complete packaging line

The FQ-P03 is a complete packaging line that integrates folding, sealing and product transport in the same automated flow, suitable when the process also includes packaging the product in the box. The Folding-2590 machine is a standalone piece of equipment specialized exclusively in the box folding operation — suitable for plants that already have sealing and transport equipment and need only the automation of folding, or for integration as a folding module in more complex packaging lines.

From a technical point of view, the Folding-2590 brings, compared with the FQ-P03, a more advanced adhesive system (constant-temperature hose + dynamic gun + double thermal insulation) and 7 longitudinal knives with individual servomotors — versus the full servo system of the FQ-P03 that drives all axes synchronized. UZINEX provides free consultancy for choosing the right solution based on the plant's specific flow.

Applications and industries for the Folding-2590 automatic box folding machine

The Folding-2590 machine is intended for plants that automate the folding stage of pre-die-cut corrugated board boxes, where the quality of the edge sealing and the geometric accuracy of the folds are critical for the box's correct functioning in the subsequent filling and transport stages. The constant-temperature adhesive system with double insulation makes it particularly suitable for production with high gluing-quality requirements.

Manufacturers of packaging for the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries use the Folding-2590 machine for the uniform quality of the applied adhesive — the constant temperature of the hose and the dynamic gun eliminate the viscosity variations that generate zones with insufficient gluing or excess adhesive on the box edges, defects visible on the finished packaged product.

Flat-pack furniture plants and equipment manufacturers that package bulky products benefit from the Pro version of the Folding-2590 machine, with the range extended to 2.800 mm length and 1.220 mm width — covering the extra-large format boxes specific to these industries without the need for separate equipment for large and small formats.

How the Folding-2590 automatic box folding machine works

1. Format identification and one-click servo adjustment — the operator selects the order format (or scans the QR code); the machine automatically reconfigures the positions of all 7 servo longitudinal knives to the dimensions of the new order with a single click, with no manual intervention on the individual knives.

2. Pre-die-cut blank feeding — the corrugated board blanks (CO3 or CO5, 2,5–6,5 mm) are fed into the Folding-2590 machine; the cylinder transmission advances the material in a controlled manner toward the folding area.

3. High-precision automatic positioning through individual servomotors — each of the 7 longitudinal knives positions itself independently at the coordinates calculated by the control system, achieving the exact folding geometry for the current format without deformations or misalignment.

4. Complete automatic flap folding — the automatic folding system fully folds all box flaps to the correct 90° angles, preparing the edges for the application of the sealing adhesive.

5. Adhesive application with dynamic gun at constant temperature — the dynamic glue gun applies the adhesive on the flap edges; the hose kept at a constant temperature and the double thermal insulation ensure that the adhesive is at optimal viscosity along the entire length of application, resulting in a uniform and firm seal.

6. Output of folded and sealed boxes — the finished folded and sealed boxes come out at an efficiency of 4–7 pcs/minute, ready for filling with the product, final sealing or direct transfer to the connected packaging lines.
