The paperboard packaging sector, representing a significant portion of the global packaging market, is undergoing a transformation driven by escalating demand, competitive pressures, and heightened emphasis on environmental and quality standards.

The study addresses the critical challenge of enhancing die-cutting equipment efficiency in the cardboard packaging manufacturing sector. The research presents an innovative design of a flat-cylinder die-cutting press that successfully integrates the ope­rational versatility of traditional flatbed systems with the energy-saving advantages of rotary equipment. The work establishes methodological approaches through comprehensive engineering analysis to determine optimal operational parameters of the press’s main components.

The investigation provides a detailed methodology for calculating the impression cylinder diameter, accounting for specific workpiece formats and transport system configurations. Furthermore, the study presents thorough calculations of the drive mechanism, including precise determination of transmission ratios, belt drive parameters, and friction clutch characteristics. Significant attention is devoted to the rationalisation of auxiliary systems, particularly in calculating elastic structural elements and developing effective damping devices utilising rubber polymers for vibration suppression.

The research findings demonstrate that the proposed press design substantially improves operational efficiency and product quality. The implemented engineering solutions enable consistent high-quality die-cutting performance while remarkably reducing energy consumption and operational expenses. These advancements present sig­nificant practical value for the modern packaging industry, offering substantial economic benefits and contributing to sustainable manufacturing practices through enhanced energy efficiency.

Keywords: die-cutting; die-cutting press; cardboard packaging; pressure cylinder; reversible drive.
