NTRODUCTION

 

The BEL 505 & 505 ‘S’ are designed for semi-automatic folding of new corrugated cases. The machines 
combine the following functions: 

1.  A bottom major and minor flap folder mechanism assist in erecting flat cartons ready for packing. 

2.  A packing station position to fill the case with product. 

The machine does not require a high level of technical knowledge to operate.

The 

Installation 

section in the beginning of the manual is intended for those who will be installing and 

maintaining the machine. 

The 

Machine Set-up

 and 

Machine Operation

 instructions should provide a new operator with the 

knowledge needed to run the machine safely and effectively.

 

No one should operate the machine without 

first reading this manual.

 

Following the operating instructions is a 

Troubleshooting

 section to provide solutions to common problems that 

may occur with the quality of corrugated cartons used and effectiveness of the case folding process. 

A separate “Technical Reference” manual or manual section provides details on parts kits, parts identification 
and machine construction for those who will service and repair the machine. 

 

 
PLEASE NOTE:

 

Best performance with BEL machines will occur when adjusted, operated and maintained in accordance 
with the instructions in this manual.  We cannot be responsible for unauthorized changes to the machine 
or methods of its operation. 
 
The following information is a reference guide for our standard machines. We strive to provide up-to-date 
manuals with machines but we are continually improving our products and the details in the manual 
provided might not exactly match the machine at the time it is shipped.  Many machines are modified in 
response to customer requests or as required by the case samples supplied at the time the machine is built 
and the manual may not provide a complete reference to the changes or modifications.   If there are any 
questions about your machine not covered by the manual, please contact us and we will do our best to
