Schober rotary die cutting technology “hops to it”
RSM increases production of six-pack carriers
Thirsty beer drinkers can slake their thirst faster thanks to a two-piece carrier design aided by rotary die cutting technology offered by Schober USA (www.schoberusa.com). Working inline as a “slave” with a folder gluer, the Schober RSM operates at speeds of 150m/min (492 ft/min) and more on a 24/7 basis – producing significantly more beverage carriers than the traditional one-piece design.
Paper, bottle and can carriers were once the domain of single-piece construction which is slow to produce and requires a substantial amount of printed high quality cardboard. A key to this greatly enhanced production speed is the structured inner frames, which are designed to be integrated into open basket carriers and top-grips. One of the key elements for speeding up the production was to replace the current blank feeder at the folder gluer lines by Schober RSM machines, working inline with the folder gluer.
