System Overview
A4-paper Cutting and Packaging Line
Functional Description
This system, known in the market as a Paper Cutting and Packaging Machine, is composed of three main units: the Roll Unwinder, Cutting Section, and Packaging Unit. These components are installed consecutively along the production line to ensure seamless, continuous operation
The machine unwinds fed paper rolls, performs longitudinal and transverse cuts in predefined dimensions, gathers the sheets, and packages them. The machine speed is variable (as detailed in the technical specifications table) and can be adjusted based on the desired production rate per hour
Machine Components
Feeding Unit (Puller Section)
As the name implies, this unit pulls and unwinds paper from the rolls using two pressure-adjustable rollers with optimized materials. It also:
- Eliminates wrinkles in the paper
- Automatically adjusts its speed to match other units in the line
- Features pneumatic roller separation for feeding paper into the sheeting machine (threading mode)
All bearings, pneumatic components, and other critical parts are of the highest grade, as specified in the technical table.
Roll Unwinder Unit
This unit is responsible for gripping, lifting, and unwinding heavy paper rolls from the ground. Due to the high weight of the rolls, the unwinders are robustly built for durability and power. Each unwinder is equipped with: (A) A powerful gear motor for roll lifting (B) Gripping motors (C) Sensors and microswitches (D)Bearings, pillow blocks (E) Disc and brake assembly (F) Proportional valves (G) Pneumatic cylinders and valves (H) Stepper motors, drives (I) Schneider electric power components (J) PLC, power supply (K) Emergency switches, start/stop buttons(L) HMI monitor. All parts are premium-quality, sourced from top-tier brands, with full specifications listed in the technical table.
Transverse Cutting Unit
Positioned immediately after the longitudinal section, this critical unit performs the final cross-cutting of the unrolled paper sheets. As cutting quality is a major benchmark in the sheeting industry, this unit is engineered for clean, burr-free cuts.
Through advanced R&D and implementation of modern technology, this unit ensures precision cuts comparable to laser cutting, delivering superior edge quality that meets the high standards of commercial paper converters.
All components — from blades to actuators — are sourced from top-tier brands, as detailed in the catalog's specification table.
Longitudinal Cutting Unit
This unit performs the longitudinal (lengthwise) cuts using high-performance rotary blades made from wear-resistant alloys. These blades are:
- Precisely aligned
- Highly durable
- Sharpenable for long-term operation
The unit includes premium bearings, pillow blocks, actuators, dust extractors, and collectors, all documented in the technical table.
Transfer Conveyor
This conveyor transports the stacked paper blocks from the sheeting unit to the packaging machine. Besides conveying, it also ensures spatial separation between blocks to prevent overlaps during the wrapping process. Detailed component specifications are included in the catalog.
Robotic Sheet Collection Unit
After cutting, the sheets are neatly aligned and stacked as they move along the conveyor. Upon reaching the pre-set sheet count (displayed on the HMI), robotic arms collect the stacked sheets from the trays and place them onto a designated conveyor for transfer to the packaging unit.
This unit ensures the sheets remain perfectly aligned and squared, and all mechanical and electrical components are listed in the catalog’s specification section.
Packaging Machine – Description and Function
This machine is designed to package the pre-cut paper blocks (each containing 500 sheets) using glossy or OPP wrapping film. The packaging system includes: 1. Infeed arms that pull stacks into the machine 2. A film roll handler that unwinds and places wrapping film over the stacks 3. A wrapping system that tightly wraps the film 4.Hot melt glue application to seal the packs 5.Outfeed unit that delivers neatly wrapped packages ready for distribution
The packaging machine operates at up to 1,400 packs per hour, with speed adjustments available via the monitor (HMI). All key components — bearings, motors, sensors, PLC, drive systems, pneumatic systems, thermostats, and power electronics — are high-quality parts detailed in the technical specification table.
Wrapping Film Roll Handler
The wrapping system includes three key units: 1.Roll Gripper 2.Film Puller 3.Film Cutter. These work in tandem to: Detect the required film length 1.Unwind the film from the roll 2.Cut and prepare it for wrapping the paper blocks. Component specifications for this unit are also included in the technical details section of the catalog.
