Case Study: Narrow Web Liquid Packaging Off-Line Rotary Die Cutter System

CASE STUDY: NARROW WEB LIQUID PACKAGING OFF-LINE ROTARY DIE CUTTER SYSTEM

CHALLENGE Design and build a narrow web off-line liquid packaging cutting and creasing system for emerging markets and third world applications. Major markets were being served by medium and wide web systems both off-line and in-line with printing presses. The existing systems used more costly cutting dies and creasing tooling that required higher volumes of product.

SOLUTION RESULTS Bernal designed a narrow web off-line folding carton Bernal partnered with a major supplier of liquid system for the liquid packaging market that was only packaging systems and tooling and marketed the low one lane of product in width. Lowering the cost of the cost narrow web liquid packaging system worldwide. equipment and the tooling substantially. Simplifying Quick change overs and lower tool costs were the unwind system and the delivery system helped achieved while maintaining the benefits of long life lower the cost of the system. Smaller dies and solid rotary dies and creasers. The smaller line solid modules made tool change overs much faster to crush cut rotary dies required less technical expertise support more product variations and shorter runs. on the part of the end user and his production team resulting in more uptime and less scrap.
