Board Referee keeps quality under control

2 December 2014


Now in operation across all of Smurfit Kappa's European production sites, the Board Referee measures three crucial components in one test: the strength of the paper, the glue and the susceptibility to crushing.

Adjustments can be made to the board instantly following this analysis, ensuring that the development time is reduced to a minimum.

With the Board Referee available in all its production sites, Smurfit Kappa is able to gather board performance results immediately, in real-time. It provides the packaging firm with greater insight and understanding of the quality of packaging materials, complementing its use of its other 'InnoTools' such as Paper-to-Box and Pack Expert.

Arco Berkenbosch, Smurfit Kappa's VP research and development, says: "The Board Referee means that we will be able to measure the performance of 50,000 products each month, giving us a unique ability to make rapid improvements to packaging board where necessary."
