Our quality control system allows zero defective cartons to the customer:

  • double sheet control
  • missing foil control
  • missing sheet control
  • jam-up detectors at all machine positions
  • signalling and automatic kick-off
  • machine data readable by PPS systems

The single roller glue unit with doctor blade and side dams allows the operator to put the glue only where it is needed. This small area of glue will not dry out in production. Clean-up is very quick. The glue unit slides out on tracks. Glue pads are made off line on a make ready table. Stereo mounting the foil is used to mount glue pads on and then the foil clips onto the stereo cylinder. These stereo blankets can be saved for future jobs.
