Why Does Your Carton Erector Slow Down Every Afternoon?

Alyssa/ November 16, 2025 Return

Have you ever noticed that your carton erector slows down or jams every afternoon? Many food factories face this, but most people blame the machine. The truth is simpler — heat softens the cartons.

When the room gets hot, the cartons soften and lose their shape. This makes picking, opening, and forming harder, especially in milk, juice, or snack factories.

To fix it, just adjust the suction, pushing force, and opening clamps. UBL carton erectors have quick-force adjustment modules, so it only takes 1–2 minutes.

Keeping the room ventilated and avoiding direct sunlight on cartons also helps reduce jams.

Does your factory have afternoon jams too? Tell me your industry, and I’ll help make a custom “heat-fix checklist” for you.
