adjusts each sheet individually in the running, lateral, and skew directions to align print with die cut. Alignment accu- racy rivals that of flatbed die cutters, with the added pro- ductivity advantage of running at rotary die cut speeds, at least double that of flatbed equipment. “Another groundbreaking innovation from Koenig & Bauer Celmacch is the new Chroma 2S, a new machine to print corrugated board on both inside and outside the box in one single pass. “The ChromaCUT X Pro rotary die cutter for corrugated board is Koenig & Bauer’s top-of-the-line rotary die cutter. Together with standard pre-settable print units, the Chro- maCut X PRO has an available pre-settable die cutter that enables 3.5 min changeovers between jobs. “It handles corrugated sheets with width up to 110.24-in and caliper up to 0.354-in. With a rated speed of 12,000 sheets per hour, pre-set capability and hyper-fast change- overs the ChromaCUT X Pro sets the new standard in pro- ductivity. “The ChromaCUT High Tech features many advanced technologies, including zero-defect technology, which en- sures the best printing quality and highest levels of pro- ductivity. Owners of the ChromaCUT High Tech enjoy its competitive operating costs and fast return on investment while operators are pleased with its quick set up and on- the-run changeover as well as its remote maintenance and faults diagnostic. “Print quality, die cutting precision, and productivity can all be found on the ChromaCUT Smart machine. This ro- tary die cutter with direct drive motors represents a per- fect combination of innovation and functionality that can meet the highest expectations and quality standards. It is equipped with Koenig & Bauer Celmacch’s quality control system. Corrugated converters will find that Koenig & Bau- er can satisfy their growing needs at all price and perfor- mance levels. Their products can fulfil short makeready times, modern and intuitive handling, and a very high au- tomation level. Koenig & Bauer will continue to play a lead- ership role in the corrugated market and introduce new products and solutions to support the growth of corrugat- ed converters. Its philosophy is to keep customer requests always in focus. “Last year, Allard Emballages, one of France’s leading companies in the corrugated market and part of the Hino- josa Group since 2021, signed an agreement with Koenig & Bauer Celmacch for a new ChromaCUT High Tech 2800 five-color machine. This is not the first cooperation be- tween Koenig & Bauer Celmacch and Hinojosa Group. In fact, the Hinojosa Group had already invested in three flex- ographic printers Chroma High Tech in the past 10 years: the first one installed in 2014, the second in 2017, and the third in early 2018. “As the corrugated packaging market continues to ex- pand, corrugated manufacturers are seeking the highest level of innovation, automation, sustainability, and invest- ment solutions. Their choice? Koenig & Bauer Celmacch.” For more information, visit koenig-bauer.com.
