Kraft Paper Machine and Corrugated Paper Machine Selection Advice

A kraft paper machine is engineered for virgin or high-quality recycled fibers to produce strong, smooth linerboard and testliner, typically in a basis weight range of 45–150 g/m². It operates at moderate speeds with high drying capacity and precise formation control to achieve superior burst strength and printability. In contrast, a corrugated paper machine is optimized for OCC and mixed waste paper, producing fluting medium at higher speeds and wider widths. It prioritizes volume and cost-efficiency over surface quality, with simpler stock preparation and fewer drying cylinders.

Choose a kraft paper machine if your raw material is virgin pulp or high-grade recycled fiber, and you need to produce premium packaging with high strength, excellent printability, or a wide grammage range. This machine is ideal for sack kraft, grocery bags, and top linerboard. Choose a corrugated paper machine if you have access to abundant OCC waste paper, target high-volume, low-cost production for standard shipping cartons, and require machine speeds above 800 m/min to remain competitive. Also, consider local environmental policies favoring recycled content.
