Valley Container Installs TCY Flexo Folder Gluer
Serving their customers for more than 50 years, Valley Container has grown into a family of four companies with facilities located across the Northeast and Midwest. The TCY NB5 FFG is the latest in their strategic investment plan and has been installed at the main manufacturing facility at the corporate headquarters in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Robert Niedermeier, Owner of Valley Container, says, “We were looking to invest in faster, more automated equipment solutions and during the research phase, we looked both inside and outside the U.S. at what companies like us were using. TCY was a machinery manufacturer that had been around for as long as we have, with a reputation around the world for manufacturing robust, reliable and good value machinery, and so we talked with them directly about what we needed from a capability standpoint.”

The final specification selected was an NB5 38” x 98” 3-color FFG in bottom print and top die-cut configuration, with several options including the RDSI inline ‘clever’ dwell & waste removal section. All machines in the TCY N-series range come equipped with the on-board Smart Tech system and hardware includ- ing a standalone central computer setup unit plus touch screens on each machine unit. The Smart Tech software suite comes with a raft of features that allows for simple order uploads, easy operator machine sets, clear order flow management, 100% accurate job recall with preset machine settings and register positions, plus pin-point er- ror reporting and maintenance reminders. In the case of Valley Container, and as with many box plants, the work mix can often require pushing the ma- chine to its design limits or to cover work that may more usually run on other lines, so TCY have worked with Valley to provide some custom functions making it easier to set up and extremely versatile when those demands arise. Niedermeier continues, “Alongside the regular printed brown boxes, we also have customers in industries such as food and beverage that take more complex die-cut fold- Robert Niedermeier of Valley Container, left, and Rob Garvey of TCY stand beside the TCY NB5 Flexo Folder Gluer.
