In Germany, Leopold Verpackungen has installed another Bobst Mastercut 145 PER flat-bed diecutter for large format operations at its Marbach production site. The company now has a total of four Bobst flat-bed diecutters for size 6 operations in the state-of-the-art facility.
The further increase in capacity was necessary due to the need to manufacture more high quality packaging for the highly competitive food industry market while ensuring maximum performance and availability.
"With the most recently installed Mastercut 145 PER we process the majority of orders at speeds of between 8,500 and 9,000 sheets an hour, in three-shift operation," says director Reiner Leopold. "It was time for us to expand our capacity in this area, especially for high volume orders from the food industry."
The Bobst machine was designed especially for high production volumes. It combines a state-of-the-art feeder system with intelligent sheet transport - the Power Register II system - along with automatic pallet transfer and "the shortest possible setting-up times".
With a production speed of up to 9,500 sheets/hour, the Mastercut 145 PER is the said to be the fastest diecutter available for size 6 operations. Versatility is another strongpoint: formats up to 1,450 x 1,050mm are processed from paper with a grammage of at least 80g/m2, cartonboard up to 2,000g/m2,and corrugated board of up to 5mm.
