Karton-Pak, one of Poland’s largest solidboard packaging manufacturers, has invested in Pasaban technology to continue extending and improving its production in printing and converting. In order to save money on material costs, control their own sheet quality and improve flexibility to provide shorter delivery times for its customers, the company made the decision to cut its cartonboard in-house instead of buying it in reams.
To do so it needed a highly automated, versatile machine that enabled it to cut materials for its folding boxes – and Pasaban provided the solution with a KB 1600 sheeter. With a speed of 300m per min and capable of cutting board of 200-450 gsm, this machine suited the production requirements of Karton-Pak’s folding box board (FBB) and solid box board (SBB) cartons.
Some conveyors were added at the exit of the stacks aligned with the offset printing machine. Therefore, the newly cut material goes directly to the press without having to be handled manually.
