“When we started developing the first machine with Koenig & Bauer just over five years ago, I felt that another premium supplier would be a benefit for our industry,“ says Dr. Jan Klingele, Managing Director of the company. The machine will be delivered to Klingele in April 2024, production start up is planned for July
The new ChromaCUT will be installed directly next to the first machine that went into production in 2019. The hall specially built at that time was designed to accommodate another rotary die-cutter.
“Of course, it was a certain risk for us at that time,“ says Klaus Lüke, responsible for technology at Klingele.
Besides the machine at the plant in Delmenhorst, there is a second machine at the plant in Werne, producing since end of 2022.
“In contrast to the prototype, the current ChromaCUT X Pro has once again improved significantly,“ says Hannah Potrawa, Director Corrugated at Koenig & Bauer.
The latest ChromaCUT X Pro for Klingele will be equipped with a presettable rotary die-cutter. The die-cut cylinder that is not in production can be set up during running production. At the end of the job, the die-cut cylinders can be changed fully automatically and within a few minutes.
The new machine will also feature software updates that increase automation, improved interfaces with the peripherals, as well as important unique benefits and automation features such as Easy Job Change.
All machine components, from the prefeeder to the palletizer, are networked, which allows automatic transmission of production data to the machine.
“The simple, intuitive, automatic and ergonomic operation of ChromaCUT X Pro is a significant relief for our operators,“ says Patrick Ginter, Plant Manager in Delmenhorst. “As a result, follow-up orders can be prepared more efficiently and we can increase the production and work even more efficiently.“
