A B&R Moll Compact In-Line System folder-gluer has been installed at trade finishing house ACA in Glasgow.
“This investment will help us to increase our production of carton work and reduce make-ready times,” says Jes Crossley, Business Development Manager. “ACA has had a relationship with Moll for ten years and we already have Marathon and Regal gluing systems in place running alongside our SCM straight-line, crash-lock and four-corner gluer. We have five folder-gluers in total now. The latest addition boosts capacity and the In-Line system has the potential to be upgraded to a Vantage 720 line in future.”
The Compact In-Line System is equipped with a tipper fold plate and plow fold capability enabling it to handle multiple fold formats. That can include cartons, sleeve work, folders, CD wallets, auto-load boxes and pillow packs. The machine also features a two line hot melt gluing system and a Dial-a-Stack unit with batch counter. It can handle stocks of 140 to 500gsm, handles work for up to 914 x 508mm format and has a running speed of up to 130m per min.
