Single facer is the most important and the earliest machine for producing corrugated cardboard. If we want to produce corrugated cardboard, we can do not have double facer, we can do not have gluing machine, NC cutting off machine even we do not have the complete corrugated cardboard production line, but we have to have a set of single facer.
The single face corrugated cardboard production line years ago
The earliest machines for produce corrugated cardboard is just 1 set paper roll stand, 1 set of single facer and 1 set of slitter cutter. We can produce 2 ply corrugated cardboard. The paper roll stand is for holding paper roll, and when the single facer running, the paper roll runs too to guarantee the the paper feeding into the single facer. The single facer is the main machine of this small production line, it is for producing the 2 ply corrugated cardboard. Its flute roller for rolling the corrugation paper, and then laminating the surface paper and corrugation paper together inside of single facer, then the 2 ply corrugated cardboard output from the single facer. Then it go to the slitter cutter to cut in size as per our set.
SF10 single facer is the traditional model of single facer
This is and economic model single facer, its design speed is 100m/minute, and working speed is 80m/minute. Years ago, it is an new model because it adopts gimble drive, it is more advance than the old model single facer which was chain drive. By now, the chain drive single facer was eliminated, and all of single facer are gimble drive. In fact, we keep this model of single facer special for some small carton factories which produce the 2 ply corrugated cardboard. If for multiply corrugated cardboard production line minimum speed is 120m/minute now, the SF10 single facer can not match to any corrugated carton production line, it is only for the 2 ply corrugated cardboard production line and in low speed.
It can work with an electric mill roll stand and an NC slitter cutter, then it is a small production line for producing 2 layer corrugated paperboard. And its running speed can be 80m/minute. It is a solution for small carton factories.
SF10 heating method
Because its low speed, so we also can adopt other heating method, as we know, the best heating method is steam heating, it can make sure the rollers uniform heating, then can guarantee the corrugated cardboard quality when the single facer run in high speed. As our design, SF10 single face can only run in 80m/minute, then electric heating, gas heating and oil heating is also can meet the speed request. Then customers who want to buy this single facer, they will have more option, they can choose the fuel for heating which is economic for them.
