Night-Shift Jams in Food Packaging? The Real Culprit Is a Dirty Suction Nozzle!

Alyssa/ November 11 ,2025 Return

During night shifts, one paper jam can bring the entire line to a stop. Many food factory workers notice that after hours of operation, the carton folding machine starts jamming or misfeeding. Most of the time, it’s not a mechanical failure—it’s oil buildup inside the suction nozzles.

When running at high speed, the vacuum system constantly pulls cartons. If oil or dust clogs the lines, suction weakens and cartons can’t be picked up properly. UBL Packaging’s folding machine uses detachable suction heads for easy cleaning. A quick wipe after each shift and routine vacuum line checks can greatly reduce jams.

Keeping your machine clean keeps your line running. Has your factory faced “night-shift jamming” too? Share your story below!
