Located north of Mexico City, Cartró S.A.P.I. de C.V., a corrugated sheet-feeder, has experienced significant growth. This prompted a capital investment for a second corrugator from BW Papersystems. The ‘Performance Corrugator’ is a 2.5m (98”) wide single wall line and is scheduled to produce 6,000 tons per month. The new corrugator will be delivered and installed in the final quarter of 2021.
Cartró currently is running a BW Papersystems doublewall corrugator installed in 2013 at a greenfield site in Tepotzotlán. The facility was originally designed to accommodate anticipated expansion and the new corrugator will be placed next to the current one in the factory.
“In order to support future growth, we needed to invest in new equipment, and expand our production,” said Juan Javier Gonzalez, CEO. He added that Cartró is known to support their customers with reliable and short lead time delivery of high-quality corrugated sheets in Central Mexico.
The new ‘Performance Corrugator’ will meet the reliability standards demanded by González and give Cartró increased production. It offers high productivity and will feature BW Papersystems’ splicers, Vanguard Singlefacer, RPS Express slitter scorer and the new Fusion Knife Upstacker. This corrugator line will offer automatic tension control, infusion pre-conditioning and the latest dry-end technology for optimal performance.
