Trevor Bissett, Managing Director of UK-based Caps Cases, has confirmed the company recently installed a 6.18 MiniPro three colour flexo folder gluer from BW Papersystems.

The machine, which was commissioned successfully in February, is located at the company’s Newmarket facility in the east of England.

The 6.18 MiniPro is ideal for production of small boxes and is designed to help box makers dealing with frequent printing plate changeover and reduced order sizes. It has been designed to minimise machine stops for order change by limiting the time needed to change printing plates, and also features an option of an inline bottom printing unit that can print on both sides of the sheet in one pass. The Corrusleeve® system avoids the need for opening and closing the line to change the printing plate, in total safety for operators. Real Servo Drive technology allows for excellent printing register, slotting and die-cutting.

“We’re delighted with our choice; the installation went to plan, and we were able to start production smoothly,” commented Bissett. “Two orders in and we were able to run at maximum speed. Our lead-times have already improved because of the additional capacity the machine is providing us.  BW Papersystems have provided excellent training and support from start to finish.”

With the acquisition of the ServoPro we have notably reduced the set up time and also increased the productivity of the machine both in quality and quantity.
