The company earned the top accolade for their innovative SmartShingle system, which effectively minimizes or eliminates feed interrupts during stack or bundle discharges, addressing a significant operational challenge in die cutting.
Geo M. Martin’s SmartShingle system solves an industry-wide problem where up to 10,000 sheets can be lost in a single 8-hour shift due to feed interruptions during stack or bundle discharges. In most diecut configurations, SmartShingle allows for a seamless workflow and enhances production efficiency by eliminating the need for these interruptions.
SUN Automation Group won second place for the SUN 625HD, a revolutionary heavy-duty 66-inch rotary diecutter.
Bahmuller took third place for Unique Turn, a high-speed turning module for specialty folder-gluers.
