CBPM’s New Integrated Process and Packaging Line - Less Manual, More Intelligent

China Banknote Printing & Minting (CBPM) has developed and is now using a new integrated processing and packaging production line for post-press operations.

In operation since the third quarter of 2022, it integrates a number of different processes – including paper feeding, cutting, sorting and finishing, packaging and shredding.

As a result, it has achieved full postproduction automation, from the finished product through to storage, at the rate of 50,000 sheets per shift.

The line consists of different modules, including automatic paper feeding, cutting, quality inspection, counting and transferring, and smart boxes. It is supported by an information tracking system, also developed by CBPM.

The automated paper feeding module has achieved automatic per-hundredsheet sorting, stacking, counting and delivery. The cutting module has achieved the maximum use of two single-note inspection machines through the smart distribution system. The compact design of the robotic hand not only saves space but meets safety requirements, says CBPM.
