B&R Moll Inc has developed the digi-mollPAK System, a compact in-line folder/gluer designed specifically to provide digital and commercial printers with fast, flexible performance for complex packaging projects.
The unit can handle a wide variety of applications including cartons, pillow packs, room key sleeves and presentation folders.
The system includes an open format system that facilitates quick change-over between jobs and a dual-stream capacity to enable multiple feeds. Positive feed control is provided by a bottom friction feeder that offers both continuous feed for regular stock as well as irregularly-shaped materials. A tipper plate with an air blast attachment, movable belts and pans, as well as anti-marking formers maintain the system’s workflow, and the system’s liftgate can be adjusted to allow for a quick job set up.
‘We developed the digi-mollPAK System specifically for digital printers who needed a fast, flexible in-line folder/gluer that could deliver complex packaging jobs at an affordable price,’ said Darren Vernon, director. ‘The compact digi-mollPAK System offers many of the same features found in our proven full-size Vantage folder/gluers.’
Accessories designed to increase the digi-mollPAK System’s efficiency for specific jobs include an inserting attachment, tape head/silicone head, vacuum belt system and a trombone feed assembly.
The compact B&R Moll digi-mollPAK System has a linear footprint of less than 5 meters, and handles material ranging from 140 – 500 gsm in sizes ranging from 50 mm x 102 mm up to 914 x 508 mm. Maximum linear speed is 130 m/min. The system is available with either 400V 3-phase, 60A/50Hz or 220V 3-phase, 60A/60Hz power connections and a 0.7 mPa (90 psi) compressed air connection.
