MarquipWardUnited has installed a SheetPro sheeter at Iggesund Découpe France. It is the US supplier’s second machine at the plant in Portes-les-Valence, which performs high quality just-in-time board sheeting.
The SheetPro is equipped to sheet one or two reels of board simultaneously, with diameter capacity up to 2,130mm. It is said to be capable of producing clean cuts in board up to 1,000g/m2 and offers the ability for knives to be sharpened without removal from the machine. Both features were said to be significant factors in Iggesund’s decision to purchase a second sheeter from MarquipWardUnited.
Another major factor in Iggesund’s selection was the patented Dual Vac overlapping system, which allows boards with sensitive surfaces to be run at high speeds without marking. This system will also be retrofitted onto the plant’s existing sheeter, which has been in opperation for more than seven years.
In addition to the two installations in France, MarquipWardUnited recently upgraded an existing Jagenberg sheeter at Iggesund’s mill in Sweden. This work included the replacement of a slitting section, cross-cut knife section, overlap section and complete controls.
