die cutter. This advanced machine features an available pneumatic plate lock-up system for on the run plate skew- ing for fine adjustment. This new feature allows for the operators to adjust the plate while running, without hav- ing to open the die-cutter. The modular machine concept includes up to eight print units, both top and bottom print, plus a die cutting module for corrugated board in one highly automated in-line system. An investment in the RD 115S will strengthen packaging producers’ ability to grow and adapt fast to changing market needs. “In late 2021, Wasatch Container, located in Salt Lake City, purchased a five color RD 115S with top print capabil- ities. They will be the first in their region with this machine and the second in the US. Several other installations are planned in North America in 2022. Jerry Frisch, Wasatch’s owner said he was very excited to upgrade the compa- ny’s rotary die cut print capabilities and offer its customers new options from the Kolbus RD 115S. He also said that the ability to print on two sides in a single pass will boost throughput in the plant and increase Wasatch Container’s value to its customers. “Service and support are natural concerns to consid- er when purchasing converting equipment, so Kolbus has addressed this by stocking an extensive inventory of spare parts at the Kalamazoo, Michigan, facility and offers same day shipping to guarantee maximum uptime. Kolbus sup- ports customers by providing 24/7 support through their 360 Assist program and free technical support hotline. “In 2011, Kolbus GmbH acquired Hycorr Machines LLC, based in Kalamazoo. Hycorr machines are known for their robust quality, enduring serviceability, and unique fea- tures. Many of the early Hycorr machines are still in oper- ation nearly 30 years later and continue being serviced by our world-class technicians. “New Hycorr Series machines have been optimized with German engineering, including: an updated Kolbus feed section with servo-controlled drive technology, the latest operator-machine control interface, and Kolbus 360 remote diagnostics. They also feature a slit and score sec- tion and Serrapid quick change die-mount cylinder.” Call (216) 931-5100. E-mail sales@kolbus.com.
