Peterborough, UK-based Manor Packaging is set to take delivery of a new Bobst 8.20 Discovery — the first of the next-generation Flexo folder gluers to be installed in the UK.
A division of Fencor Packaging Group, Manor Packaging chose the machine, as it will integrate into existing workflows. The flexo folder gluer is able to process up to 18,000 boxes per hr across a wide range of corrugated flute types. Designed to be intuitive and bring additional value to the supply chain, the FFG 8.20 can be controlled with two operators and has a setup time of just two minutes.
Group Managing Director at Fencor Packaging Group, David Orr, commented, “A big part of our philosophy is continuous investment to keep pace with the evolving needs of our customers. The decision to invest in this new casemaker for Manor Packaging is firmly in line with this thinking.”
Stuart Alvey-Taylor, BU Sheet Fed Sales Manager at Bobst UK & Ireland, said, “We are delighted to work with Manor Packaging to deliver the first 8.20 Discovery in the country.”
