Heidelberg has a few remaining places for carton printers who wish to be guests on a trip to Mönchengladbach to see the latest products in folder-gluing, the ECO 80 and Diana X, during the week commencing 21 November.
Mark Hogan, Postpress Business Executive, says: “The time each printer takes to visit our postpress facilities in Mönchengladbach can be tailored to their needs. This Packaging Inforum represents a great opportunity for carton printers to see the latest and most automated folder gluer we have produced to date. We also hope we will be able to fit in a visit to a carton printer who is running a Speedmaster CD 102 with Logistics materials handling and Dymatrix die-cutting in line.”
As well as meeting experts at the factory it will also be an opportunity to meet Heidelberg’s new Product Manager – Packaging and Labels Finishing Systems, Paul Thompson. A former Jagenberg salesman he is well versed in the carton sector and has joined Heidelberg aware of their ambitious plans for growth in the folder-gluer and die-cutting areas.
The Diana X135 was shown first at Drupa last year and will come to market in 2006 along with the X115 version. The Diana X features separate servo-drives in each module so that the configuration can be bespoke to suit each user’s needs. It is a 450m/minute folder gluer. It has a very accessible design so that operators can make adjustments quickly and easily. There is also a touchscreen control panel.
The new folding station and longer folding paths ensure top fold quality at high speeds. It processes board for folding cartons from 200 to 900 gsm and N, F, E and B corrugated board.
The Diana X135 is ideal for packaging printers and finishing specialists who are looking for flexibility and productivity coupled with short makeready times and reduced production costs.
“The customer can choose between a compact short model for all standard blanks or a high-performance long model for high productivity or special versions with various module combinations for processing special blanks," says Mark Hogan.
A turning module allows precise and efficient processing of special cartons e.g. chocolate boxes. For collapsible boxes and special cartons, the number of shafts for backfolding hooks can be expanded up to four depending on the module combination. A new low-noise drive also helps to optimise and synchronise the whole production process.
Another development from Heidelberg is the economically priced ECO 80 which replaces its ECO 78. This is an ideal machine for the versatile processing of a broad range of materials and box styles. There is a newly extended prefold section which enables both the glue flap and third crease line to be prefolded gently and at high speed.
The machine can be supplied with or without the Japack Pro, an option which goes from strength to strength. It offers the flexibility of packing cartons on both crease lines two and four as well as the end flaps. The greatly reduced set up times on the Japack Pro takes automatic carton packing to a new level.
Fully integrated systems with case packers and palletisers are easily managed with the option of the ACC (Automatic Case Control) system. No longer are weights required to hold the flaps down on the outer case as the shipping case is positively controlled throughout the filling procedure.
