plant’s stripping profile. Today, approximately 90 to 95 percent of orders coming off the Young Shin Zenith are ful- ly stripped. Full batch capability and automated stripping also reduced manual handling and tightened consistency.
The machine’s recall system allows operators to store re- peat jobs and retrieve settings efficiently. For zero-point setups, make-readies still require time, but once dialed in, repeat performance has become very predictable. Heritage runs the Zenith on two shifts and at times, achieves speeds of 6,000 sheets per hour. It can accom- modate single and doublewall corrugated board, as well as other solid substrates such as foam and microflute, and litho label and single face laminated board. Its gripper bar The Young Shin’s gripper bar system allows a maximum sheet thickness of .433-inches and a maximum sheet size of 72.83-inches by 44.09-inches.
