K&B’s first postprint corrugated CorruFLEX press goes to Romania
The THIMM Group has successfully installed its first CorruFLEX from Koenig & Bauer. The new press started operating at the works in Sibiu in Romania at the end of final year, marking the fulfillment of a contract signed in December 2019. "By installing this HQPP flexo press, we are catering to the demand for high-quality packaging products on the East European market, and broadening our portfolio of client-oriented solutions," says Michael Weber, head of corporate strategy and marketing for the THIMM Group. The first tests to evaluate the quality and register accuracy were conducted on-site by an external service provider. "We are more than than satisfied with the results," adds Weber. The new press volition primarily be used for 4-color product on coated lath.
The basis of trust and professionalism that characterizes the partnership between Koenig & Bauer and the THIMM Group allowed any delays to commissioning caused by the global Covid-19 pandemic to be kept to a minimum. Christoph Müller, fellow member of the executive board of Koenig & Bauer, said, "We remain dedicated to pursuing our strategic path. All three of our new presses, the CorruJET, the CorruCUT and the CorruFLEX, have at present been successfully placed on the market, and we will be stepping up our efforts to set the standard in this segment, too."
The CorruFLEX can handle corrugated sheets of upwards to a thickness of nine mm (0.354 in). Information technology runs at speeds of upward to 12,000 sheets per hour. Its vacuum belt feeder is designed specifically for absolute infeed accuracy. The sheets are transported via a continuous overhead vacuum transport system that guarantees stable canvass travel through the equipment and exact register for the printing procedure. Optional hot air, IR, and
UV dryers can also exist integrated into the transport system and its optional canvas cleaning device aids in dust-complimentary quality printing. The press has shaftless drives for the impression
cylinder, vacuum transport, the form or plate cylinder, and the anilox coil. There are several automated systems for ink supply and washing and an optional anilox roll changeover arrangement.
Inline rotary die-cut option CorrCut
The CorruFLEX was designed and developed together with the loftier lath line rotary dice-cutter CorruCUT for inline press and cutting and creasing. It stands out every bit a unique turnkey solution that combines the latest technologies and functions with straightforward and intuitive functioning. The CorruFLEX boasts many unique features, such as a vacuum-belt feeder that operates without feed rollers and the innovative anilox roller changing organization. Information technology tin can be utilized either as a stand-alone solution or be integrated into a product line together with conventional flatbed die-cutters.
Our view
Corrugation quality and demand have seen meaning improvement in the past several years in Bharat. Since the Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdown in India, eCommerce has boomed together with packaging as a whole. Thus the need for better quality corrugated packaging has increased dramatically, and as a consequence, more flexo printer slotter machines were imported into India in 2022 than ever before. A high number of these came from leading European suppliers. This indicates that Thou&B CorruFlex and even the inline CorruCut could detect a market in Republic of india and South asia.
