Marbach Die Supplies is now offering rubbering materials for cutting-dies in its varied portfolio. One rubber with special properties is flexpower.
André Angermeir, Sales Manager at Marbach, says, “flexpower is a powerful rubber with many positive characteristics. Especially when used for corrugated board cutting-dies, its strengths are revealed. This is because the rubber is permanently compressed by constant pressure load during the die-cutting process. Conventional rubbers lose height with each application. Rubbers with skin, wear out over time. Our flexpower, on the other hand, is stable. Therefore, it is the perfect choice for high demands.”
flexpower is characterised by its high compression ability, its fast rebound elasticity and its durability. The Marbach rubber is also tear-resistant with low abrasiveness. Due to its structure, flexpower can be compressed strongly. Its fast rebound elasticity ensures a stable machine run when die-cutting corrugated board and additionally, fast and safe ejection of the waste during rotary die-cutting.
Angermeir continues, “Our customers report that by switching from conventional rubber to flexpower, the machine performance of rotary die-cutters and the elimination of waste from die-cut packaging has been significantly increased, even with the highest print runs.”
flexpower is available in two different hardnesses ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ as well as in different heights and sizes.
