Paper converting machine starts with the parent reel a roll set of paper and finishes with the packed carton with a label. It is largely used in the production of tissue paper which acts as a saviour for water. Simply a paper converting machine cut the paper into the necessary sizes it may be a tissue or an A4 size paper, envelopes, paper bags, boxes, containers or any other paper product in the convenience of the manufacturer. It is involved in converting treating, slitting, sheeting, grooving, punching, and folding. Some machines also include perforating, blocking, binding, glueing, and laminating too.

Rollrazor is the latest and the most advanced equipment in the field of paper converting machine. It resizes paper rolls without sacrificing the mill’s original density characteristics, eliminating the extra step of rewinding. Resulting in paper cut more efficiently and precisely than ever before. Its robotic arms helps in handling the parent reel loading.

Increase in literacy rate is the key factor that drive paper converting machinery even in this digitalized period. According to a survey of future market insights “Revenue over 2017-2027, the global paper converting machines market is expected to approach US$ 2 Billion towards the end of 2027. Brisk adoption of technological innovations and escalating investments by global brands in modern machinery will prominently contribute to the growth of paper converting machines market that has been projected at a 5% CAGR during 2017-2027”.

Types of Paper Converting Machines

• SLITTER/REWINDERS
• PAPER SHEETERS
• EMBOSSING MACHINES
• STAMPING MACHINES
• LAMINATION MACHINES
• COATING MACHINES
• BAGGING MACHINES

SLITTERS OR REWINDERS: The slitters are divided into two types  roll saw slitting and rewind slitting. Rewinding slitter pulls out the material from the roll and cut into required length and then reel it to the other roll.  Roll saw machine is a slicer that slice the roll into a number of pieces. Razor roll saw, it can process a roll four times faster than a rewinder when it comes to cutting down rolls into smaller ones but does not have any capability to rewind onto new cores.

PAPER SHEETERS: Paper Sheeting machine cut the paper sheets into a specific size. They are extremely accurate and provide the paper stacks in a uniform size for further usage into production or for the end user.

EMBOSSING MACHINES: Embossing machine emboss on paper like  Tissues, kitchen rolls, and napkins which increase absorption of water and soften the material, the decorative holes punched on the paper is called embossing.

STAMPING MACHINES: Stamping machines are very highly automated precisely used for hot foil stamping of paper or non-woven material and for die-cutting. The stamping machine labels bottles, paper cups, paper plates and on jars etcetera.

LAMINATION MACHINES: Laminator machines apply lamination to one or both sides of the material using lamination film.

Different types of popular lamination systems that are prevalent in the market are:

• Cold Systems use pressure on the sensitive film
• Single hot systems are good for graphics and sign lamination, as the application of heat reduces the possibility of ‘silvering’ on the printed surface becomes easy.
• Double hot systems will laminate and encapsulate.

COATING MACHINES: Coating machines apply either a liquid or a gaseous coating to material on one or both sides of a moving web in a specific method that ensures the application is uniformly complete. To acquire that the accuracy of machine speed, balance and synchronization between different areas of the machine are significant for success. Examples of different types of coatings involve glue, silicone, anti-fog, anti-static and UV resistant which need drying after application.

BAGGING MACHINES: Bagging machine used to make bags from paper. These could be single ‘carrier bags’, sandwich bags on rolls, or those that need more complicated processes to provided garbage bags on rolls with each bag being sealed at one end and having a drawstring closure inserted at the other end.

Advantages of Paper Converting Machine

• Paper converting machinery is used for winding, trimming and sheeting.

• Traditional slitter re-wind equipment that unwinds and then re-winds paper into new dimensions producing new widths of paper with clean cuts with an efficient slow pace

• A highly-engineered cutting blade able to cut much more paper in one hour than a traditional cut.

• Paper converting machine handle all grades of paper including Tissue, napkin, Bible, cigarette,  coated, uncoated, cardboard, and craft papers.

• Application force control is perfect for including difficult assembly, machining, and finishing tasks that previously required skilled personnel or complex assembly machines.
