Niagara Sheets Breaks Production Record

The Perfect Combo Get Peak Performance From Your Equipment with Matched Component Sets

North Tonawanda, New York based Niagara Sheets, a manufacturer of corrugated paper sheets, has announced that it has broken its previous plant milestone of 700,000 lineal feet on a corrugator in a 12-hour shift. Official record numbers included:

• 714,760 lineal feet in 12 hours • 59,563 lineal feet per hour • 993 LFM – average speed

• 488.5 msf\hr average • 98.9 percent uptime

While the production numbers themselves are impres- sive, what makes this accomplishment especially mean- ingful is the complexity involved in achieving it.

Nothing’s more rewarding than a couple made for each other.

That’s why the engineers at ARC International have focused their skills and talents on crafting perfect matches between the components that must work in tandem on your flexo folder gluers and die-cutters: • Anilox Rollers and Ink Chambers • Anilox and Wiper Rollers • Feed and Pull Rollers • Glue and Meter Rollers You can achieve the press speeds and print quality you need to fill your most demanding orders by pairing your team with The ARChitects of Flexo . Contact ARC today to learn how these engineered matches of flexo folder gluer and die-cutter components (new or reconditioned) can help you achieve a more perfect union of production and profits.

Unlike an integrated box plant, Niagara Sheets does not have the luxury of running sheets directly into down- stream converting operations. Every unit produced must be stacked, banded, handled, staged, and shipped to our customers. Achieving record-setting performance requires precise coordination across every area of the operation, especially considering the number of order changes and setups processed during a typical day at a sheet feeder.

Success at this level depends on much more than the corrugator alone. Paper supply, machine reliability, staff- ing, material handling, logistics, scheduling, and support- ing equipment performance must all come together seam- lessly. Any one of these factors can impact production performance. What makes this achievement even more remarkable is CONTINUED ON PAGE 16
