Board Converting NEWS INTERNET DIRECTORY

High Point, North Carolina based Packrite, LLC announced an upgrade to their Bobst Mastercut 2.1 diecutter line with the addition of a high-speed Bobst Breaker Flat Track nicked bundle breaker and a Bobst Pallitizer 2.1. This latest technology is part of Packrite’s improvement program and helps brings a new level of automation, productivity, and efficiency to their Mastercut line. “It’s a huge time saver,” says Michael Drummond, CEO of Packrite. “It has completely eliminated hand breaking on that Mastercut line. We can make multiple breaks across a bundle as well as multiple breaks in the through direction in a single pass. It’s all automatic and there’s no need for a second pass.”

The Breaker Flat Track feeds into the Palletizer 2.1, a fully automated palletizer which includes offsetting align- ment and turntables to align and orient individual batches for proper placement within the stack. “These offsetting tables also allow our operators and quality team access to the full die-cut batch without climbing over the equipment. It makes it easier, faster, and safer to pull samples for qual- ity control,” says Drummond. The Palletizer 2.1 also includes automatic tie-sheet, dunnage-sheet, and pallet insertion in addition to automat- ic pallet pre-load placement. “We just select a load format and size from a pre-programmed recipe. Then it’s hands off, the machine does the rest.” The Palletizer feeds into the recently installed state-of- the-art takeaway conveyor line. “Our new takeaway line includes automatic pallet centering and a multi-head Si- gnode GCU SmartFlex Unitizer with sword insertion fea- ture. The sword insertion allows us to strap a load to a pallet in two directions to ensure load stability.” Downstream from the unitizer is a new Octopus high- speed, large format automatic stretch wrapper. The sys- tem gives Packrite the versatility to strap and wrap, just strap, just wrap, or pass through based on their customers’ requirements and can create over 200 units per hour.
