Product Overview
The Chain Feed Rotary Slotter Creaser Machine is a semi-automatic corrugated box forming machine designed for creasing, slotting, corner cutting, and edge trimming of corrugated sheets. It uses a double-row chain feeding system to transport cardboard through the machine, where rotary tooling completes multiple converting processes in one pass.
Unlike vacuum leading-edge feeders, this machine adopts a mechanical chain positioning structure, providing stable feeding for various corrugated board specifications, including 3 ply, 5 ply, and 7 ply sheets. It is widely used by small and medium-sized carton manufacturers for flexible production of different box sizes, especially for small-batch orders and thick corrugated board applications.
Key Features
- The Rotary Slotter Machine RS4 is an all-in-one machine that integrates edge trimming, creasing, slotting, and corner cutting into one process. Ventilation holes and portable hole punching devices can also be added if required.
- The worktable adopts chain feeding, which provides fast and stable sheet transportation with high working efficiency.
- The tooth profile of the slotting knife is ground, and the cutting edge is sharp.
- The slotting knife holder can be adjusted according to the thickness of the cardboard (3-ply, 5-ply, and 7-ply corrugated board).
- The rear slotting knife (box height) can be adjusted simultaneously with four knives, making operation convenient, flexible, and reliable.
- The main gear adopts a keyless connecting structure, which helps maintain precise slotting performance during long-term operation.
- A punching device can be equipped according to production requirements.
- This Rotary Slotter Machine is commonly used together with chain feeding printing machines.

Working Process
The Rotary Slotter Machine RS4 processes corrugated sheets through the following steps:
1. Sheet Feeding
Operators manually place corrugated sheets into the chain feeding section. The double-row chains hold and transport the cardboard through the machine.
↓
2. Chain Feeding and Positioning
The chains move the cardboard at a stable speed while maintaining the sheet position during processing.
↓
3. Rotary Creasing
The creasing wheels press folding lines onto the cardboard surface for later carton forming.
↓
4. Rotary Slotting
The rotary slotting knives cut slots at preset positions to create the required carton flap gaps.
↓
5. Corner Cutting and Edge Trimming
Rotary cutting tools remove unnecessary corners and trim edges according to carton design requirements.
↓
6. Finished Sheet Output
The processed carton blanks are discharged for subsequent folding, stitching, or gluing processes.
Recommended Industries
