Koenig & Bauer launched the CorruCUT, a new sheetfed flexo press designed for direct printing on corrugated board.
“Corrugated customers are seeking machines with faster setup and more automation as well as tailor-made solutions for their specific environment,” said Jeff Dietz, VP of the Web & Specialty Press Division at Koenig & Bauer (US). “Waste handling in the corrugated process is a big concern as is color consistency and repeatability for brands. We believe the new CorruCUT will satisfy the needs of printers who require high graphic corrugated printing and converting machines that are faster and more cost-efficient to operate.”
The CorruCUT incorporates several unique features such as a vacuum-belt feeder without infeed roller, a new solution for anilox roller exchange, and an overhead vacuum delivery.
The CorruCUT handles corrugated sheets with a width of up to 110 inches and a thickness of 0.354 inches, running at speeds up to 12,000 sheets per hour.
The low volume of the chamber blade serves optimum ink transfer and minimal ink losses during washing. The ink supply and the automatic washing system are designed to achieve the best possible results with low water consumption and fast washing times.
The Klingele Group is the first customer to install the new CorruCUT sheetfed flexo press with integrated high board line rotary die-cutter at its German box plant.
In developmental partnership with Klingele, the new press has been designed for the high-performance rotary production of die-cut corrugated products in ultimate flexo post-printing quality.
The Klingele six-color press is a completely new design – from the feeder, via the printing units and rotary die-cutter to the delivery.
