Specifications

Production: 

Operators:

1  (skilled operator not required.)

Setup time:

Usually, in under 2 minutes:
Enter box style and size /30 sec;
Set knives /1 min; Set side guides / 30 sec.

Rate:

1200 boxes per hour
(Maximum, slot and score box blanks.)

Material:

Corrugated boxboard, single wall E flute to double wall 600 lb. 

(With some limitations, the Model  970B will slot and score most materials that can be sheared and crushed, such as corrugated plastic.)

 Boxes: 

Box Length:

No limit

Box width, RSC:

Minimum:   none;
Maximum:  44” / 1117mm 

(with 22”/560mm knives.  Different knife lengths are available, producing either wider or deeper boxes.  See knife lengths below, under mechanical.
For RSC, max box width = 2x slot length;
for FOL,  max box width = 1x slot length.)

 Box depth:

Minimum, 3” / 76 mm  *
Maximum:
-054, Max box depth 18” / 0.46m
-078, Max box depth 42” / 1.1m
-102, Max box depth 66” / 1.6m
-126, Max box depth 90” / 2.3m
(the above is for machines equipped with 18”/460mm knives, producing an 18" slot, which yields a max 36" wide RSC, or a max 18" wide FOL.  NOTE:  
Longer knives = wider boxes, with less max depth;
Shorter knives = deeper boxes, with less max width;
Max box depth = max blank width – 2x knife length.)

* Minimum box depth is 3" / 76mm  for all knives 14" or longer.  Knives shorter than 14" restrict the minimum box depth.  For 12" knife, minimum box depth is 7" / 180mm.  For maximum flexibility, most users will prefer a 16, 18, or 20" knife.

Slot width:

Standard, 5/16” / 8mm 
(Other widths upon request.)

Slot length:

From 12” / 305 mm, to 22”/ 560mm

in 2” / 50mm increments
Special lengths available upon request.
Knife length = max slot depth
A longer knife makes a wider box;
A shorter knife allows deeper boxes.
Max box depth = Max blank width – 2 x ( knife length)
