Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Machinery Systems, Ltd.
Corrugated board boxes are the most familiar form of packaging and are a key part of the world's logistics and commodity distribution systems. They are also considered to be environmentally-friendly products in terms of the global environmental problems that are major issues facing today's society, because they are circulation-type packaging materials that can be recycled after use. The EVOL box making machine, the main product of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Machinery Systems, Ltd. (MHI-MS), has expanded its sales channels to the whole world due to the steady growth of the corrugated board market led by the expansion of the global online shopping market, etc., and boasts a sales record of about 500 units for the entire series. The EVOL series box making machines are roughly divided into two types: the flexo folder gluer, which makes folded and glued corrugated board boxes, and the rotary die cutter, which makes die-cut boxes. This report presents our new EVOL5084TR rotary die cutter, which can make various die-cut boxes with high precision and at high speed. A die-cut box is made by applying printing on a rectangular sheet of corrugated board, and die-cutting and creasing (applying folding lines to) it. Die-cut boxes are delivered in an unfolded flat state to end users, and then assembled when used for packing products.
