A group of Mechanical Engineers Have Installed a Bobst Visioncut die-cutter at Tyne Tees. The same group of engineers will offer engineering support in the lieu of any maitenance requirements.
The County Durham-based company has bought the machine to accommodate increased demand for corrugated products.
The team of skilled mechanical engineers also installed the firm's existing SPO160-Vision Bobst die-cutter.
The Visioncut machine can run litholaminates, microflute and corrugated, up to double wall of 0.75mm to 9mm, at a maximum speed of 4,800 sheets per hour.
The machine's maximum sheet size is 1,100x1,600mm.
Tyne Tees Packaging's managing director Gerard Wiper said that the training and support services offered by Bobst were a big factor in the investment.
'We know that by making the most of the technicians and trainers Bobst provides we will be able to maximise production for the Visioncut,' he said.
'That means reducing every make ready to its absolute minimum and running every job at, or very near, full running speed.'
