The CMK carton machine is used to manufacture filled cartons. The prepackaged product and carton blanks are delivered to the CMK machine. The carton blanks are then erected and filled with product. The cartons are then closed and sealed.
Some maintenance and adjustment procedures require the base settings for the fixed side of the machine to be reset to be in alignment with the other areas of the machine. Fixed Side Variable Side 200246 CMK Operators Manual (02/06/2006)
Cartons consist of various layers including the Cover, insert and rear side. The individual layers are different in terms of the materials they are made of and are a major factor in determining the quality designation. 200246 CMK Operators Manual (02/06/2006)
(the track) and the amount of glue can be adjusted on the HMI operating display and on the glue device. The glue nozzles that are used are also an important consideration for the specific glue application. (Consult the operating instructions for the glue device to obtain additional information.) 200246 CMK Operators Manual (02/06/2006)
The outer carton must be vented and there is a free space of at least 1 cm between the top carton and the outside carton. An intermediate carton insert layer should also be placed between each layer of the cartons. 200246 CMK Operators Manual (02/06/2006)
100 hours (roughly 4 days). After that, the folding resistance of grooved cartons increases during storage time. Sufficiently scoring the carton is the best way to ensure it can be stored for a relatively long time and it will work well in carton machines. 200246 CMK Operators Manual (02/06/2006)
Out of alignment gluing usually only occurs when the wrong fiber direction was selected. The fibers must always run perpendicular to the longitudinal seal of a carton. Figure 3.6 200246 CMK Operators Manual (02/06/2006)
Scoring of the four groves that run parallel to the longitudinal seam is a requirement for machine cartons. A scoring angle of at least 120° must be achieved. For safety reasons, however, the greatest possible angle up to 180° should not be attempted. 200246 CMK Operators Manual (02/06/2006)
7.5 % +/- 1% for the duration of processing. (A water content of 7.5% corresponds to a relative moisture ratio at equilibrium of about 55 % +/- 5 % at a standard temperature of 20 °C for typical cartons.). 200246 CMK Operators Manual (02/06/2006)
If the prescribed processing temperatures are exceeded for some time, then dangerous decomposition products may be produced. In this case, all necessary measures should be taken to eliminate these vapors (e.g. by a suitable exhaust). Follow the glue manufacturer's instructions! 3-10 200246 CMK Operators Manual (02/06/2006)
When working with solvents, ensure good ventilation and prevent open fire! Follow the safety instructions indicated on the supplier's instruction information! 3-11 200246 CMK Operators Manual (02/06/2006)
