Klingele Invests In Another CorruCUT From Koenig & Bauer The Klingele Paper & Packaging Group is investing in an- other CorruCUT High Board Line Rotary Die-cutter from Koenig & Bauer. The new six-color machine is scheduled to start production at the Klingele plant in Werne, Germany in the summer of next year. With a future capacity of almost 200 million square-meters of corrugated board, this plant is one of the largest operated by the group. “In recent years, Koenig & Bauer has demonstrated that it has established itself in the market for corrugated board processing. Working together, we have boosted the performance of the first CorruCUT at our plant in Delmen- horst to a high level,” said Dr. Jan Klingele, Managing Part- ner of the Klingele Paper & Packaging Group. “This is why we are once again investing in this machinery from Koenig & Bauer with full conviction.” The first CorruCUT has now been printing and die-cut- ting at the Delmenhorst plant for almost two years. Chris- toph Müller, member of the executive board of Koenig & Bauer AG, said, “Experience, tradition and the innovative spirit of both companies have contributed to making this machine a further step forward in printing technologies for the packaging sector.” Complementing the established features unique to this technology, such as the vacuum-belt feeder without infeed shafts and the anilox roller exchange system, Koenig & Bauer has incorporated a range of new technical functions into the machine. “Thanks to our broad product portfolio, we have been able to integrate different functions from other machines to make the CorruCUT even better,” said- Müller. A series of new software upgrades has also signifi- cantly increased the machine automation. One example is Easy Job Change, which allows automatic preparation of a subsequent job even before completion of the current production run. “There are two other topics that were particularly im- portant for us: simplification and optimization of the inter- faces, and live data acquisition during production,” said Amir Mirsakarimi, Plant Manager in Werne. “In this regard, Koenig & Bauer has shown us some very promising solu- tions that are completely new to the market.” An innova- tive control system for die cutting contour also enables incorrectly die-cut sheets to be ejected immediately.
