well as the Pro/Care package for machine diagnostics and monitoring. To round off the complete offering from Fos- ber America, a full maintenance plan for OEM quality sup- port is in place. The corrugator uses a steam system from Stickle Steam Specialities, and a Kohler WaterDeck was recently added allowing corrugator operators to quickly change the warp profile on the board while maintaining constant corrugator settings.
clamp trucks or industrial equipment near the corrugator on the operator side,” said Keith. “Clamp trucks work on the periphery and deliver rolls to the Harmax roll handling system, which in turn delivers them to the corrugator. From a safety standpoint, Fosber’s Link M3 roll stands are phe- nomenal.”
Another important aspect of the corrugator when de- signing the new facility was noise reduction; full sound enclosures have been fitted to the new S/Line, helping to keep the operating environment clean and quiet.

Do you need printed sheets? We have your answer.. Introducing Heartland’s ColorCorr. This is “flexo-printing in the round”. On our corrugator we can print up to 109” wide. The advantage is that we can print the equivalent of ½ roll at a time and not be required to keep several rolls of very expensive preprinted paper on the floor. Much less waste and risk. In continual print mode, we use either laser-engraved rubber rolls or solid rubber rolls to print a “flood coat” or a repeating pattern. If we are printing a repeating pattern, we can run a two-color design on the paper. Customers have found that running sheets we print can allow them to run a lighter-grade due to reduced caliper loss, and in some cases eliminate one or more machine passes.
