Hot Melt Glue Case Erector HMGCE-500
The SunAura HMGCE-500 hot melt glue case erector forms corrugated cartons and seals the bottom with hot melt adhesive at 8-12 cartons per minute. Handling carton sizes from 200-600mm x 150-500mm x 150-500mm with 2.5KW motor, it provides superior bottom sealing strength for demanding packaging applications. The 400kg sturdy frame ensures reliable continuous operation.
Product Description
The HMGCE-500 hot melt glue case erector is designed for packaging operations that require superior bottom seal strength. Unlike tape sealing, hot melt adhesive provides a permanent, tamper-evident bond that withstands rough handling, temperature variations, and moisture. This makes it ideal for heavy products, frozen goods, and export packaging where carton integrity is critical.
The machine automatically forms flat corrugated carton blanks into three-dimensional boxes and applies hot melt adhesive to seal the bottom. With a forming speed of 8-12 cartons per minute and a powerful 2.5KW motor (including glue melting system), it handles carton dimensions from 200x150x150mm to 600x500x500mm. The 400kg sturdy frame ensures stable operation during continuous use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of hot melt glue sealing over tape sealing?
Hot melt adhesive provides a permanent, tamper-evident bond that is stronger than tape. It withstands rough handling, temperature variations, and moisture better than tape, making it ideal for heavy products, frozen goods, and export packaging where carton integrity is critical.
What is the forming speed of the HMGCE-500?
The machine forms 8-12 cartons per minute. The speed is slightly lower than tape-sealing models because hot melt adhesive application requires precise dispensing and setting time for optimal bond strength.
What carton sizes can the machine handle?
The machine handles cartons with length 200-600mm, width 150-500mm, and height 150-500mm. This range covers most standard corrugated box sizes used across various industries.
What are the power requirements?
The machine operates on 220V/380V, 50/60Hz power supply with a 2.5KW motor that includes the glue melting system. The power supply can be customized for different regional electrical standards.
Is the hot melt glue safe for food packaging?
Yes, the hot melt adhesive used is food-grade compliant and safe for indirect food contact packaging. It meets FDA and European food safety standards for packaging materials.
Does the machine require special maintenance for the glue system?
The hot melt glue system requires regular cleaning of the glue tank and nozzles to prevent adhesive buildup. The system is designed for easy maintenance access, and standard maintenance procedures are provided in the user manual.
Can the machine be integrated into an automated packaging line?
Yes, the compact design (2400x1150x1650mm) and standard conveyor height allow easy integration with carton fillers, top sealers, strapping machines, and other packaging line equipment for fully automated operations.
