A success story: Megabox Srl

Megabox is an Italian group active in the cardboard packaging sector for over 50 years and is today one of the leading companies at a national level.

The group includes:

• Optimizing energy consumption and material usage (e.g., glue)
• Reducing changeover times
• Ensuring high quality standards with increased automation

The goal was not only to upgrade a machine, but to achieve a qualitative leap aligned with the company’s vision of continuous improvement.

The choice fell on the Royal VB DD casemaker, which stands out for:

• Direct drive motors on every axis
• Siemens automation systems and Motion System Control with energy regeneration
• Automated format change manageable by a single operator
• Robot slotter for automatic positioning of cutting heads

• High-pressure ERO gluing system
• Vacuum transport and pneumatic wheel closing

4. The Result

Four years after installation, the line has delivered:

• Higher production efficiency
