A&R Carton has installed two MBX unwind and splice units from Martin Automatic at its facility in The Netherlands. They are fitted to bespoke production lines capable of producing 36,000 2-piece beer muiltipacks/hour.
A&R Carton Process Engineer Jouke Hilarides explains: “Our rolls of the inner board are delivered ready slit into two 400mm widths, but at 1,860 mm diameter, they are left joined together for stability and safety purposes. We needed technology that would handle these rolls reliably to allow us to run the folder gluer lines with inline rotary die cutting non-stop - Martin Automatic came up with the best solution.”
Fitted to Roberts PolyPro folder gluers, the Martin machines have a non-stop splicing speed that matches the production speed of the line, and in this configuration are capable of handling web widths to 558mm on rolls of 1,828mm diameter weighing 1,135kg.
