These include: • SUN Lead Edge feeder; • SUN MircoGrind for a consistent cutting and creasing surface; • Siemens PLCs and touch screens throughout; • Impulse dust management system; • Complete computer controls for faster set-ups and re- peatable quality; • Extended length vacuum transfer feed section for bet- ter feed to first down print registration; • Praxair anilox rolls, CUE blankets, Rexroth, ABB, SEW Euro drive, and ARO. “This new line is certainly churning out a lot of work for us, and the customers are very happy with the quality of boxes being printed and die-cut on this new line,” states Bradley. “The guys at Haire and Hampton Industrial did an awesome job during the install, and Ben Liskey has really created a solid relationship with us. The instructors have been fantastic, and our team of operators have taken very well to the machine. I must admit, it is sometimes hard to get the operators to run the older equipment, as they are so excited about the new Apstar,” he jokes. “We have invested for our growth,” concludes Brad- ley. “We would like to grow the business by threefold in the next five years – and thanks to the investment in the Apstar, plans for expanded warehousing and a really loyal team, we are on track to exceed this.”

The Apstar HG2 series is setting a new standard of performance in the corrugated industry with cutting-edge technology that comes standard on every machine. Every important feature necessary for flexo printing and consistent production rates is incorporated on the Apstar HG2 rotary die-cutter.
