Kluge Unifold Folder Gluer - one owner, MicroGlue, etc. 220V single phase. https://www.kluge.biz/foldergluers/legacy-folder-gluers/unifold-folder-gluer/
Folding-gluing machines fold, glue and deliver cartons, sleeves and multipiece packaging at high speed for corrugated and solid board production. They combine precision folding plates, glue application systems and conveyor handling to produce glued boxes, trays and wraps with repeatable accuracy. Models range from intermittent hand-fed to fully automated inline systems for high-volume corrugated box plants and contract packagers.
Confirm maximum board width, pitch (blank size), line speed (boxes/min), glue type (hotmelt/dispense), servo or mechanical drives, format changeover time, electrical standards, and condition of folding plates, conveyors and PLC/control.
Inspect glue pumps, tanks, hoses and nozzles for wear, leaks or residue. Run a test if possible to check temperature control, pressure stability and purge functionality. Ask for recent service records and spare pump parts.
Provide exact dimensions and weight to the carrier. Machines often need partial disassembly (feeders, unwinders, conveyors) and secure crating. Drain fluids, lock moving parts, label disconnected components, and hire riggers experienced with packaging lines.
Yes, partial disassembly is common to protect fragile heads, glue units and conveyors. Follow manufacturer guidance, bag small hardware, tag wiring harnesses and create a reassembly plan to speed installation.
Regular cleaning of glue heads and glue paths, lubrication of bearings and chains, inspection and replacement of wear parts (belts, knives, fingers), sensor checks, and software/PLC backups. Scheduled preventive service reduces unscheduled downtime.
Ask the seller for parts lists and sources, verify manufacturer support or authorized dealers, and buy critical spares (nozzles, pumps, belts, sensors). Consider remote support agreements or experienced local technicians for installation and troubleshooting.
