“Our existing machinery for multi-point glued boxes reached the limit of its capacity, so we had an urgent need to expand. The new BOBST EXPERTFOLD 165 will let us increase the production volume for the Baltics significantly, and in the process, improve the quality of our products,” says Otonas Valiušis, General Manager of Grigeo Packaging.
This is the fifth BOBST machine installed since 2016, joining a number of other BOBST machines already in use at the plant for flatbed die-cutting, flexo finishing, flexo printing, and folder-gluing.
The new BOBST EXPERTFOLD 165 folder-gluer allows the production of a wide range of box types, including 6-corner boxes. It features an ACCUFEED integrated blank aligner with wider conveyors for perfect feeding precision, and high-speed, variable angle pre-breaking with an extra-long module.
The 5-meter-long folding section with crease relief and crease control device also ensures reliable and precise box opening, facilitating downstream processing for Grigeo Packaging’s customers.
Even at the highest running speeds, the inline quality control combined with ACCUEJECT, which automatically ejects non-standard boxes, guarantees that only top-quality boxes make it to the end of the line.
“BOBST has been our main supplier partner for a long time and we’re very satisfied with the performance of the equipment on our factory floor. Our large machine fleet clearly reflects the huge amount of trust we have put in BOBST over the years, and we continue to do so,” concluded Otonas Valiušis.
