Cover Material Processes
Cutting

Intec ColorCut FB775 digital die flatbed cutter
This is a mid-range model and is perfect for cutting out the cover sheet used for rigid box production. It can be used to cut out the sheets for testing, prior to getting dies made but also for on demand/short run sheet cutting depending on your order quantity.
It can also be used for producing carton type packaging, card inlays for rigid boxes and a range of other products. Incorporating a B2+ cutting table for large format sheet cutting, a QR code job retrieval and registration scanning system, which opens the associated cut file, and ensures your packaging, POS or labelling job is cut with outstanding speed and accuracy by the advanced, high-speed, servo motors that enable consistent and productive cutting. The enhanced dual-tool cutting head delivers up to 1,500gf pressure for creasing and 1,200gf for cutting – and cuts through paper/card up to 1,000micron, opening up new possibilities with its ground breaking design.

Gluing

Excel Gluer
This Whole Surface gluing machine has been designed to process a range of materials including paper, canvas, Balacron, leather etc up to a thickness of 200g. A rigid board facility is available as an option.
The machine features electronically controlled gluing speed, silicon covered rollers for precision gluing and fast cleaning up to 5 minutes. The machine includes a Digital Thermometer and Refractometer to ensure stable condition of the hot glue and we include viscosity control and circulation pump as standard to allow continuous production.

2AG Automatic Glue Line
This automatic whole surface gluing line is designed to feed one or two sheets simultaneously from the hopper, apply hot animal glue, and deliver onto a vacuum transport belt. The 4.5m long belt transports the product held in position and flat via the vacuum system to enable the application of a variety of products. These include: boards, boxes, corrugated and other rigid materials. The belt is controlled to index movement to allow easy, accurate positioning by the operator to the rigid products. The assembled products can easily be transferred to an edge turning or box wrapping device. Wash up time is fast, and the consistency of the adhesive is controlled by a viscosity system. 2 models are available, standard and XL. The conveyor can be shortened, if required, to a minimum of 2m.
NB: Depending on material thickness and size it may be possible to run two different jobs simultaneously, or lid and base cover sheets for rigid boxes etc.

450G Automatic Glue Line
This automatic glue line has a 5m long vacuum conveyor for holding sheets flat after hot glue application. This model can be used for spotting boxes and sheets/boards for duplexing etc. A pressing device and pressing rollers are installed on the conveyor for boxes and sheets.
NB: A robot can be retrofitted later to automate the spotting of rigid boxes onto the glued sheets.

450B Automatic Glue Line including Robot Positioning
This machine is designed to automatically apply adhesive to the cover sheet for wrapping which is transported on a vacuum belt to the rigid box application robot. The robot picks the box from the hopper and precisely places the rigid box in position on the glued sheet, with a tolerance of +-0.1mm. The gluing unit is equipped with a high-capacity hopper, incorporating double sheet detector and hot animal glue with precision rollers and glue circulating pump. After box has been placed, the conveyor moves box to pressing position to ensure prefect contact on the base before moving to the box wrapping position (offline). Fast wash up time, under 2 mins.
