Box Board Processes

Grooving

m70 groover

M70 Manual Grooving machine - including kiss cutter for corners

This small machine is designed for applying a V-Groove to grey board/box board and is perfect for on demand and very short runs. It incorporates a cutter to kiss cut the corners of the board prior to grooving, which allows the waste corners to fall out during the grooving process. The groove completes the cut from the other side of the board. Once you have kiss cut the corners, place the board under the blade having set to the correct position, press the foot pedal and this will send the blade along the rail, which will cut two 45° angles into the board, allowing the board to fold up to 90°. 120° is also possible.

Technical Data

  • Material length: 0-2000mm

  • Material width: Max 700mm

  • Corner cutting (box height): Max 80mm

  • Grooving angle: 80 - 135°

  • Grooving time: adjustable according to board length

1000 groover

1000 Semi-Automatic Grooving machine

This machine is designed to cut up to 8 V grooves in standard board and paper for packaging products. The machine is hand fed, 1 board at a time. Multiple grooves can be made in 1 pass, for box production 2 passes are needed in order to make the 4 grooves completing the box blank ready for the next process (corner cutting, taping etc).
