“The name of the game is continual reinvestment on behalf of our customers in order to meet their demands for productivity-enhancing technology at the front of the line and crucial service and support on the back-end,” said Shoji Isoai, President, MHIA Corrugating Machinery Divi- sion. “With more than 200 EVOLs currently in operation in North America, our customers won’t settle for anything less — and neither will we.” The Mitsubishi Prefeeder and recently opened West Coast-based distribution and support facility headline the latest reinvestments. The Mitsubishi Prefeeder is de- signed for faster throughput and front-of-line reliability. Introduced in North America in 2022, the technology is being adopted by customers looking to keep their premi- um EVOL box-making equipment operating with maximum efficiency. The company’s research shows that 50 percent of equipment downtime is caused by auxiliary equipment, with prefeeders accounting for nearly 38 percent of that total. The Mitsubishi Prefeeder is currently available for the EVOL 84 and EVOL 100 — either 350 BPM or 400 BPM — or for any equipment that is a top printer. It is able to run a continuous shingle of either singlewall or doublewall sheets, with a minimum sheet of 8.7 x 27.2 and a maximum sheet of 37 x 100 and boasts a lifting device that reverses the sheet stack. The company’s new West Coast-based distribution and support facility buttresses its rapid response capabilities. Based in Las Vegas, Nevada and opened in early 2023, the fully staffed 20,000-square-foot outpost helps ensure reduced shipping costs and faster delivery for EVOL cus- tomers west of the Mississippi River. Also featured at Booth 701 will be the MC-100. Intro- duced in 2021, the Flexo Folder Gluer boasts ease of op- eration and enhanced quality-control for plant personnel.
