Web-fed Platen Die Cutters - 1400 (55 in)

Product Description

Zerand Web-Fed Platen Die Cutter Line – 1400 (55 in)

The Zerand web-fed platen die cutter line is the most efficient way to produce a folding carton. Our flatbed die cutters offer the highest productivity and reduced board usage with nesting layouts and no gripper margins. They also minimize operation steps and operators needed by more than 50%. This equipment also minimizes WIP and floor space requirements. 

With web-fed platen die cutting, you can save by buying reels instead of sheets and eliminate sheeting or pile turning. With Zerand web-fed flatbed die cutters, quick and quality go hand-in-hand.

Web-Fed Platen Die Cutter Benefits

The BW Papersystems Zerand web-fed platen die cutting line cuts costs while increasing production. Our innovative solutions reduce waste and operations and improves the efficiency of the folding carton production process. At the same time, the machine operates at the highest output levels.

Our web-fed platen die cutters offer:

  • Highest productivity (equal to the output of 2.5 sheet-fed platen cutters)
  • Reduced board usage by up to 18% (eliminated gripper margin, using nesting layouts)
  • Reduced operations and number of operators by more than 50%
  • Reduced WIP and floorspace requirement
  • Savings by buying reels, not sheets, and eliminating sheeting or pile turning

Efficient and User-Friendly

Our web-fed flatbed die-cutting lines operate at up to 1000 ft/min. (305 m/min.) with 450 IPM depending on the model. 

These systems perform with unyielding precision. Motorized adjustments make them operator-friendly for an efficient, easy-to-use experience.

Reduced Operation Requirements

Web-fed operation means substantially less waste compared to sheet fed because with web-fed die cutting, it’s a Roll to Blank to Stack process. This process reduces plant storage and logistics, as there are fewer independent operations and movement of full pallets around the plant. Operations time and operators needed are cut in half while reducing WIP and floorspace requirements thanks to the end-to-end process.

Reduced Operation Costs

Web-fed operation means substantially less waste than sheet-fed because with web-fed, there is no need for a 6-10 mm gripper margin on every sheet. In addition, the flexibility for nested layouts is far greater with web-fed over sheet-fed, significantly reducing stripping waste. Less waste means a much lower operating cost for you.

Our web-fed platen die cutters also offer reduced costs by buying reels instead of sheets, hence eliminating sheeting and piling.
