Automatic Kraft Honeycomb Paper Machine
Five shaft paper loader changes the finished roll without stopping the line
Product Overview
This automatic honeycomb paper machine was designed around a customer request to stop losing time at the rewinder. A paper loader carrying five shafts lets the finished roll change over automatically, which saves both time and labour against the manual forming machine. It keeps the EM-PH600 format, 515 mm wide at up to 200 m per minute, on a 3500 mm frame at 1800 kg, and it costs less than the fully automatic version.
Key Benefits
- Automatic finished roll changing removes the stop that a manual rewinder forces on every roll
- Five shafts in the loader mean the next core is always staged and ready
- Lower cost than the fully automatic machine while keeping the main labour saving
- Compact 3500 mm frame fits where the 4700 mm fully automatic line will not
What This Machine Fixes
- Every manual roll change costs line time and ties an operator to the rewinder
- The fully automatic machine is longer and more expensive than some plants can justify
- Inconsistent manual roll changes produce rolls of varying length and tension
Who Buys It
- Converters who have outgrown a manual honeycomb forming machine
- Packaging producers balancing automation against capital cost
- Factories with limited line length but rising honeycomb demand
Where The Output Is Used
- Honeycomb wrap production running steady volume in one or two widths
- Converters whose floor space rules out the longer fully automatic frame
- Plants upgrading from a manual forming machine as order volume grows
- Producers of eco friendly cushioning for fruit, flowers, ceramics and glassware
How It Is Built

The Process This Machine Runs
Unwinding
Stage 1 of the automatic kraft honeycomb paper machine process.
Honeycomb die cutting
Stage 2 of the automatic kraft honeycomb paper machine process.
Automatic roll changing
Stage 3 of the automatic kraft honeycomb paper machine process.
Rewinding
Stage 4 of the automatic kraft honeycomb paper machine process.
Quality Control
- Automatic changeover proved over repeated cycles before shipment
- Rewind tension checked so finished rolls do not telescope
- Cut pattern inspected across the full width on test production
Use Guide
- Stage all five shafts in the loader before starting a long run
- Set tension on the magnetic powder brake before raising speed
- Check the die cutting mould for paper build-up at each loader reload
- Match the rewinding shaft to the core size your customers expect
How It Compares With The Alternatives
Compared with Fully Automatic Kraft Honeycomb Paper Machine
The fully automatic machine also pulls the finished shaft from the core and pastes the label. This model still needs the shaft fed by hand, and in exchange costs less and occupies 1200 mm less floor length.
Compared with Kraft Honeycomb Paper Forming Machine
The forming machine has no automatic roll changing. It suits short runs where changeovers are rare.
Automatic Kraft Honeycomb Paper Machine FAQ
How does the automatic roll changing work?
The paper loader holds five shafts. When a finished roll reaches length the machine changes over to the next staged shaft, which saves time and labour compared with a manual change.
How is this different from the fully automatic machine?
The fully automatic machine adds pulling the finished shaft out of the paper core and pasting the label, so no shaft is fed by hand. This machine costs less and is shorter.
What speed and width does it run?
Zero to 200 m per minute at a maximum material width of 515 mm.
What size and weight is the machine?
3500 x 1350 x 1300 mm and 1800 kg.
Which rewinding shaft should we order?
1, 1.5, 2 and 3 inch are available. 1.5 inch is the usual choice.
What power supply is standard?
380 V three phase, or built to the customer's requirement.
