PRINTING INTERNATIONAL NV/SA – Belgium                 Stand n°015 – B – 4

Automatic Color Registration [ACR] avoids cumbersome setup procedures, eliminating the need for technical skills from the operator. Printing plates and pads are simply fixed onto the machine and the ACR modules use specific references on printing plates, pads and product fixtures to align all components to get not only registered colours but also to place the (multicolour) image exactly on the spot where it is needed.

This ACR setup procedure is much faster and more accurate than manual setup. During production, re-calibration of the setup can be repeated if required. A complete repositioning of the image (all colours together) or adjustment of one particular colour component referenced to any other colour component is also easy to do at any moment during production and takes only a few seconds.

TOSA – Italy                                                                   Stand n°160 – H – 5/A

Cai Lun: the TOSA project on pallet-wrapping paper

TOSA has invested in a R&D project in collaboration with an external partner which implements a pioneering paper processing method. By means of this process the paper is “deformed” and the fibres composing it stretch by up to 40%, thus allowing us to increase the adaptability to the perimeter of the palletised product, improving its stability and security and also obtaining a more polished finished look than that achieved with standard Kraft paper. Until now, there was only one type of paper on the market dedicated to tertiary packaging. This paper possesses properties that make it suitable for wrapping regular palletised products, without sharp edges, with geometric perimeters.

QIMAROX BV – Netherlands                                       Stand n°148 – M – 5/A

Qimarox introduces a brand new palletizer especially developed for a logistics environment where palletizing goods from containers happens often. Thanks to its unique pattern generator, the Qimarox Highrunner HR9 can stack boxes of almost any size on pallets at lightning speed. With this innovation, importers of various products are able to largely automate the unloading of containers. The Qimarox Highrunner HR9 offers a solution to the physically demanding work of unloading ‘loose loaded’ containers which is time-consuming and unattractive work. The boxes must be manually removed from the containers one by one and stacked on pallets, leasing to physical complaints among staff and damage to goods if boxes are stacked carelessly or dropped.

RANPAK BV – Netherlands                                            Stand n°152 – E – 5/A

Cut’it! EVO delivers a most innovative approach to the packing process: once the products are packed, the machine determines the highest filling point of the carton, cuts excess cardboard and automatically applies a glued lid, resulting in a box ready for palletizing and shipping. With a high throughput, the machine provides smaller, easy-to-open and tamper-proof boxes, faster and leaner operations, and lower shipping costs thanks to the optimized box sizes.

A few new key features and capabilities for this next generation automated system, which was completely redesigned, include improved reliability and productivity, integrated connectivity with real-time remote support and data reporting, integrated box dimensions check, and easier, transparent operation with maintenance.
