Tom Ralph, managing director of Graph-Pak, says, “The investment by BJ Ball Papers in leading edge sheeter technology will place them into the top spot. They will have a highly advanced paper and board sheeter equipped with full automation and an E.C.H. Will dual rotary cutting head with AC vector drive. Those components will offer the cleanest and most accurate cut length sheets in this region”.
The SHM 1650 DR is equipped with shaftless roll stands and side by side reel processing capability. Graph-Pak says the unit’s dancer tensioning control system offers ultimate stability of the substrates at high speed. It adds that the machine has been fitted out with a fully automated stacker, which will supply press ready pallets of sheeted product and also has a non-stop pallet change system to complete the automation. Another feature of the SHM sheeter specification is independent automatic web guidance, allowing the processing of centre slit rolls with no need for edge trim to be taken thus reducing waste to an absolute minimum.
John Finlayson, European sales manager at Pemco International, says, “Other dual rotary sheeters have entered the market in the past years, but none as technically advanced as the SHM 1650 DR selected by BJ Ball Papers. Pemco is excited about this sale, and we look forward to intensifying our working relationship”.
Thomas Ben, divisional manager of BJ Ball Papers, says, “This investment is part of our service commitment to the printing and packaging market. We have looked at a number of dual rotary sheeters on offer and have no doubt in our minds that we have made the right decision for quality, efficiency, service and stability. This new sheeter coincides with our new purpose built facility and will be a great asset, increasing options and opportunities of our offer to current and future customers”.
