7. How Can I Print with My Eco-Friendly Paper Bag Making Machine?
There are two ways to print eco friendly paper bags. The first one is to have a paper bag making machine with an inline printing unit.
The second option is to buy a stand-alone printing machine to work along your eco friendly paper bag making machine.
You can choose the option according to your budget and requirement. Inline printers cost you less as compared to stand-alone flexo printers.
However, stand-alone units are the best option if most clients are inclined towards printer paper bags.
Stand-alone units can keep printing even when the paper bag making machine is at rest. So, in such situations, stand-alone printers are more suitable.
Flexo printers can print up to eight colors. These printers are capable of printing efficiently, lengths ranging from 228 – 1000mm.
The paper roll widths that a flexo printer can conveniently print as 1000mm, 1200mm, and 1300mm.
Flexible photosensitive resin plates and rubber plates form the base material. The circulated ink pump provides a calculated amount of ink.
The ceramic anilox rollers spread the ink evenly on the paper. The whole printing process is fully automatic. You can get 5 – 100 meters of paper printed in one minute.
Printed Paper Bags
8. Are Paper Bags with Plastic Windows Eco-Friendly?
Paper bags with lined plastic or foil papers are recyclable only when they are correctly assembled.
By assembling I mean, the way plastic and papers are put together. Some paper bag making machines fuse the two materials that make it impossible to recycle the bag.
MTED’s paper bag making machines don’t fuse the two materials. The plastic roll for the plastic windows unwinds from a separate unwinder.
The glue guns apply the adhesive on the paper web. The plastic unwinder unwinds the plastic film to stick to the paper web.
Yes, as simple as you just read. No fusion is required.
The advantage of keeping things simple is that the recycling companies can conveniently separate the plastic from the paper bag. After that, they can put the two in their respective recycling machines.
It makes paper bags with plastic windows eco-friendly.
Paper Bags with Die-Cut Plastic Windows
9. How to Make Eco-Friendly Paper Carry Bags?
Besides square bottom, V-bottom paper bags, printing, and die-cut plastic windows, MTED offers another impressive feature.
You can make paper carry bags with your eco friendly paper bag making machine. By paper carry bag, we mean paper bags with handles.
There are three types of handles you can attach to the paper bags.
- Flat handles
- Twisted handles
- D-cut handles
MTED provides you eco friendly paper bag making machines with inline handle-making units. Or, you can have stand-alone handle making and handle pasting machines.
To support the handle making unit, two auxiliary machines are beneficial:
How to Make
Narrow paper rolls are used to make twisted handles. For making twisted handles, the paper is twisted into a rope.
A separate small-sized compact rope-making unit helps to make the rope. The rope is then wound at high speed by a rope rewinding machine.
The machine ensures that the rope is free of any knots. It is then used for making twisted handles.
Similarly, a narrow paper roll is used to make flat handles. These handles are attached to the paper web before the tube formation.
The D-cut handle (patch handle) making procedure is a bit different. A paper patch is attached to the paper web.
After side gluing, tube forming, bottom gluing, and bottom forming, the die-cutters cut the patch according to the predetermined size and shape.
The raw material you use to make handles is the same paper as you are using to make paper bags. So, it is eco-friendly and reliable.
Paper Bags with Twisted Handles
10. What Are the Different Sides of an Eco-Friendly Paper Bag Making Machine?
Let me give you a little introduction to your eco friendly paper bag making machine. It is a compact machine that is safe and easy to operate.
For a better understanding, let me tell you the names and functions of the various sides of your machine.
Head End
The head end is the area where the finished bag is dispensed and accumulated.
Material End
As the name suggests, this is the area where you put the raw material – the paper roll.
Power Side
It is a rare part of the machine containing the electrical cabinet and power supplies. It is also called the drive side.
Operating Side
It is the side where the control panel is installed. It is the primary side where the operator feeds in all the necessary data, and the machine starts working according to it.
11. What Are the General Precautions to Take While Working with My Eco Friendly Paper Bag Making Machine?
Besides all the safety measures and precautions, the first and the essential factor is that you must always have a fully trained operator for your machine.
If you don’t have an experienced or trained operator, MTED can train your operator about installation and operation.
Other preventive measures are:
- You must install all the safety devices, signs, and covers properly.
- Never try to clean the machine (put your hand in) while working.
- Before maintenance, ensure the power supply is cut off.
- After maintenance, make sure no tools are left on the machine.
- Do not put items on the machine.
- Never operate the machine when opened or if it is damaged.
- Always work according to the rated speed. Exceeding the speed may cause damage.
- Always keep the machine clean and in an accessible place.
12. How Does the Paper Web Remain Stretched and Aligned?
When the paper roll unwinds, it is a common thought how come the paper web doesn’t lose or slack. To make same looking error-free paper bags, the paper web needs to be tensed and straight.
MTED installs various systems to keep the paper web stretched. These include:
- Automatic tension control system
- Automatic correction system
- Tractioning roller
- Rubber friction wheels
Automatic Tension Control System
An automatic system used to regulate the web handling during the change is the machine’s speed.
Tension sensors are installed to sense the correct tension according to the predetermined level. This system can control the pressure of variable materials like plastic films, paper, foil, rubber, and fabric.
Automatic Correction System
It is an automatic system that helps to detect loose or limp paper web. It corrects the slack part automatically to avoid material wastage by folded corners.
Tractioning Roller
MTED has got a powerful traction system installed in each eco friendly paper bag making machine.
The tractioning roller is a reliable way to keep the paper web straight and stretched. It is compatible with the changing speed of the machine.
Rubber Friction Wheels
These wheels help to maintain a constant material tension.
13. How the Eco Friendly Paper Bag Making Machine Folds the Web Into a Paper Tube?
The stretched paper web unwinds from the paper roll and folds into a paper tube within a fraction of seconds.
How?
Forming plates, paper wheels, and pull rollers help fold the paper web into the pre-determined size of the paper tube.
I want to mention here that the width of the paper roll is according to the width of the paper bag. You don’t need to cut the sides of your paper roll to attain the desired bag’s width.
For this reason, the size of the forming template is determined by the width of the paper bag. When you want to change the paper width, you must select the correct sized forming template.
MTED provides you with a manual guide to adjust the appropriate setting for a wrinkle-free tube formation.
An adequately aligned forming template is necessary to form an error-free paper tube.
A steel forming plate is installed to fold the paper web. Paper wheels help to fold the paper tube properly. These wheels also press the paper firmly to stick the side seam of the paper tube.
Steel Forming Plate
14. How Is the Gusset Formed?
The side edge discs of the forming template make the side gussets. When the paper web enters the tube forming unit, the forming plate folds the paper web according to the paper bag width.
At the same time, the side edge discs fold the paper in the opposite direction without causing any mark.
You must adequately check disc alignment and its distance between the forming stencils to attain accurate side gussets.
The bottom gusset is formed in the bottom forming unit.
Gusset Forming Discs
15. How to Adjust the Length and Width of Eco-Friendly Paper Bags?
The option to adjust the paper bag length is given in the control panel. You can feed variable sizes according to your requirement, and the cutters will adjust the rotating speed accordingly.
On the other hand, the width of the paper bag is controlled by adjusting the forming template (clip disc) in the tube forming unit.
With the change in the forming template, don’t forget to change the side edge discs positioning. Otherwise, the side gussets will be dislocated.
You can change the size of the forming template by adjusting the screws. A complete guide is given with your eco friendly paper bag making machine so that you can adjust the screws, wheels, and plates according to your required sizes.
16. What Is the Function of Friction Wheels in an Eco Friendly Paper Bag Making Machine?
The friction wheels help to:
- Maintain material tension
- Pull the material inward
- Press the folds
These wheels provide the required grip on the paper tube. Throughout the paper bag making procedure, the friction wheels help to straighten the material.
The wheels help make the web stretched, pull the paper out of the discharge unit, feed the paper in the tube forming unit, and take it to the tube cutters.
The pressure wheels press the folds firmly. They help to seal the side seam and make the side gussets smoothly squeezed.
Adjusting the Friction Wheels
17. What Are the Various Sensors Installed In The Eco-Friendly Paper Bag Making Machine?
The automatic functioning of the eco friendly paper bag making machine is possible due to the high-quality sensors MTED installs.
Various sensors are used in the roll fed eco friendly paper bag making machines. Like:
Jam Detection Device
Your safety is our priority. Jam detectors are essential devices that our engineers install precisely in each machine.
The detectors have an automatic alarming system. The alarm system turns on when the sensors detect any jam, a misfeed, or dislocated paper web.
It is very helpful in preventing the production of damaged paper bags and saves you from raw material wastage.
Photocell System
A photocell system is a low power and easy-to-use sensors. They work by detecting light. The amount of light that hits the sensor determines its functioning.
These sensors are helpful throughout the paper bag manufacturing procedure.
Color Eye Mark
The color eye mark sensors work along with the photocell system. It helps the machine detect when to cut and when to fold the paper tube.
The machine folds, cuts, forms, and releases automatically – thanks to the color eye mark sensors.
Ultrasonic Sensors
Thanks to advanced technology. The sound waves play their part without having a vision. The ultrasonic sensors detect the edges of the paper web and paper tube.
Accurate measurements, smooth edges, good cuts, and aligned corners are all due to the ultrasonic sensors installed in your eco friendly paper bag making machine.
Servo System
Servo-driven systems are state-of-the-art technology. Compared to standard machines, servo-driven machines offer many advantages with proper motion control systems.
It’s an easy-to-understand system. The faults and drive messages are shown on the HMI automatically.
Controlling the motion in a paper bag making machine has never been so easy without the servo system.
