Honeycomb paperboard gets more popular in the market by its’ cheap price, high strength and light weight. Especially in Japan, US and Netherland, developed counties, honeycomb cardboard is recognized as a green package as it save energy and environmentally friendly process. Combining natural beehive structure, it connects a multiple of hexagon corrugated paper forming a complete package.

1.Characteristic of Honeycomb Cardboard

1.1 Light weight, less material and low cost. Comparing to other material and it’s structure, honeycomb has a better strength/quality and feature/price

1.2 High strength, smooth surface and difficult deformation. Compressive strength and bending resistance is one of important feature for packaging box so honeycomb cardboard is widely applied for packaging industry.

1.3 Unique honeycomb structure provides a premium buffing function. In all buffing material, it has a better absorbing function so it could replace EPS plastic buffing cushion

1.4 Sound absorption, heat insulation. There are many closed spaces that are full of air in the honeycomb. Which offers sound insulation and heat preservation function

1.5 No pollution, honeycomb is manufactured with the recycle paper material, 100% recycled

2. Honeycomb Material VS Corrugated Board

2.1 Using the same material, honeycomb material has a better strength than corrugated board, the flat crushing strength of honeycomb cardboard reduce with the increase of hole diameter.

Honeycomb material and corrugated board have the similar pierced stress.

2.2 Side pressure of corrugated board is far more than honeycomb paperboard, horizontal side pressure is lower than honeycomb cardboard.

2.3 Corrugated Board has been already used in a variety of industries, but honeycomb paperboard is a new trend

Microwave drying machine is recognized as a excellent drying method for honeycomb board and corrugated board. Firstly, microwave energy has a choosing function for water as it applies more energy in the large water content of area and little energy in the small water content space. So it could achieve the uniform heating performance. Secondly, high efficient, industrial microwave directly works on the material without extra conduction so the internal air and container are not heated. 30% more energy saves than the IR. Lastly, microwave is easy to control and adjust with Max unique PLC and temperature sense device.

In addition, Max industrial microwave do not produce any waste gas and water during drying time. It is a high tech drying method for many applications.
