KBA North America congratulated Winston Packaging, a fourth-generation family-owned printed paperboard packaging company located in Winston-Salem, NC, for its record-setting performance.
This world record breaking attempt took place on Aug. 11, 2014, on the company’s six-color Rapida 106. The press ran 127,625 sheets of 74 x 106cm (29.5 x 41.5in) paperboard in less than seven hours with an average speed of 18,964sph.
The average output of the Rapida 106, which can run at speeds of up to 20,000sph, was thus higher than the maximum output of any other press in this format class.
“We are proud to be operating this high-performance Rapida press at our facility,” said James Gordon, president and CEO of Winston Packaging. “This amazing record reinforces our purchase decision to go with a KBA and clearly shows that we have the most productive medium-format press on the global market.”
Several factors helped to determine the final result of this new world job production record at Winston Packaging, starting with a truckload of paperboard that ran well on the press and the firm’s best press crew working that day.
“We’ve run this same product many times previously but never achieved much higher than 17,500sph average run speed for an entire eight to ten-hour shift.,” Gordon noted. “Our talented press operators made it happen using all of the tools available to them on the press.”
