Corrugated cutting machine VPS 100

Our VPS100 cardboard cutting machine automatically produces precisely cut cardboard boxes that are custom-tailored to the dimensions of each product. Instead of using standard boxes, every package is made to fit perfectly.

The result: maximum product protection, reduced material usage, and optimized transport volume.

The VPS100 is particularly well-suited for companies with a wide variety of product variants or custom manufacturing, where standard boxes are often insufficient. It enables efficient and precise packaging of products with varying dimensions and provides a safe and cost-effective shipping solution. Even fragile or bulky goods can be packaged reliably.

Typical applications include both disassembled and pre-assembled products, as well as parts, components, and various industrial goods with varying dimensions.

Custom packaging reduces excess air space inside the box, thereby minimizing the need for additional packing material. At the same time, product protection is improved because the contents are securely held in place. The reduced shipping volume lowers shipping and logistics costs, while the need to stock different box sizes is significantly reduced. Overall, custom-fit packaging leads to greater efficiency throughout the entire process chain.

The VPS100 covers a wide range of sizes. It is suitable for both compact component packaging and large-format furniture components. The specific working area is defined on a project-by-project basis and tailored to your requirements. In addition, the system can line cartons with additional cushioning material to optimally stabilize delicate products, such as glass doors, and protect them from damage.

Depending on the configuration of the VPS100, product measurements can be taken in various ways. Dimensions can be entered manually or quickly captured using a Cubetape. Alternatively, semi-automatic measurement systems, such as laser measurement, can be used. For a fully automated process, a through-feed scanner is also available, which automatically determines the dimensions of the products during transport.

Production capacity is designed to meet industrial requirements. Depending on the format and material, more than 200 custom-cut boxes can be produced per hour. Actual capacity depends on the product range and the level of automation.

The VPS100 processes various grades and thicknesses of corrugated cardboard. These include single-wall and double-wall corrugated cardboard, as well as different flute types such as E-flute, B-flute, C-flute, EE-flute, EB-flute, and BC-flute. Reinforced cardboard for heavy products and recyclable materials can also be used. The choice of material can be individually tailored to the specific protection requirements and the weight of the product to ensure optimal product protection and high material efficiency.

Additionally, the brand logo can be integrated directly into the cartons, allowing the packaging to also serve as a brand presentation.

For particularly delicate items, such as glass doors, the system can equip the cartons with additional interior padding to provide optimal protection against damage.

The VPS100 enables sustainable cost savings by cutting cartons to fit the exact size of the product. This not only significantly reduces material and filler consumption but also optimizes transport volume, resulting in lower shipping costs and fewer shipping damages. At the same time, it reduces the need for stock of standard cartons and minimizes manual processing, significantly increasing efficiency throughout the entire packaging and logistics chain.

The VPS100 can be operated as a standalone solution or seamlessly integrated into existing shipping or production lines. It can also be combined with conveyor systems and automatic feeding systems, allowing the system integration to be customized to meet each customer’s specific requirements.

If products are to be packaged directly within the production flow, the IPS (Integrated Packaging Solution) carton-cutting solution is an ideal alternative. This was developed specifically for the fully automated inline packaging process. The IPS is based on the proven technology of the VPS series and, thanks to its modular design, enables customer-specific configuration for particularly high-performance packaging lines.

IPS Features:

• excellent accessibility for maintenance work
• automatic crease detection with integrated waste disposal
• optional punching device, e.g., for integrated carrying handles in cardboard blanks
• integration with camera systems for product identification and measurement
• technical availability ≥95%

No, the VPS100 features an intuitive user interface and a clear menu structure. After a brief training session, operators can control the machine safely and efficiently, while automated processes reduce manual effort to a minimum.

The VPS100 complies with all relevant machinery directives and safety regulations, including CE conformity. Built-in safety mechanisms, emergency stop systems, and safety guards ensure that the machine can be operated reliably and safely in an industrial environment at all times.

The VPS100 makes a significant contribution to sustainability by precisely tailoring cartons to the size of the product. This not only significantly reduces material consumption but also minimizes the use of packing material. At the same time, it reduces shipping volume, leading to lower shipping costs and reduced CO₂ emissions. In this way, the system actively helps companies make their packaging processes more efficient and environmentally friendly and sustainably improve their own environmental footprint.

We offer customized maintenance agreements, provided as annual or semi-annual services, to ensure the performance and reliability of your systems. In addition to on-site maintenance, our service team is also available via remote support Monday through Friday (6:00 a.m.–10:00 p.m. CET) and Saturday (8:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. CET). Furthermore, thanks to its modular design, the VPS100 can be easily retrofitted or expanded, allowing it to be flexibly adapted to new requirements.

We also offer practical training courses for operators, maintenance personnel, and supervisors. These training sessions provide all relevant knowledge regarding operation, maintenance, and process optimization and can be conducted both on-site and online.
