Eastbourne, UK-based Challenge Packaging has recently commissioned a crash-lock gluer from Lamina System.
The compact 14.10 gluer is a fully automatic folder gluer that is equipped with a non-stop suction belt feeder and a variety of guides and belts to handle standard one-point boxes or three-point crash-lock boxes. The simple batch separation system prior to banding makes it very operator friendly. The machine has been placed on rails, meaning sections can be easily rolled apart to give full access during set ups. This new Lamina gluer will compliment existing gluers at Challenge, enabling some flexibility and increased production which is much needed due to a huge increase in orders.
In addition, Lamina has retro fitted a feeder and bobbins to a Lamina taping machine that was installed 18 months ago. This will help with the growing need for e-commerce packaging.
