#Bhs corrugated jobs upgrade

It is the only reel-to-printed sheet system and BHS plans to sell the machine either as an option for new corrugators or as upgrade to existing installations. The idea is to place the device by a corrugator, using a turner bar arrangement to feed liner into the corrugator, giving the flexibility to also run in roll-to-roll mode as well as inline. The project is progressing with a 1.6m wide version under test in Cambridge, with the 2.8m version due to come to market in 2019. The printbar will contain 68 individual 43mm wide heads per colour Inca is using the expertise in driving multiple heads it has gained in many high performance flatbed presses. The device is being developed by Screen subsidiary Inca Digital, which will produce a 2.8m wide print engine featuring Fujifilm Samba heads with water-based inks. Screen has partnered with BHS Corrugated Maschinen und Anlagenbau GmbH to produce a new device they are dubbing the RSR вЂ“ Roll to Sheet in Real-time. HP will soon not be alone in the pre-print liner sector. Conprinta is positioning the technology as a complement inkjet to provide a cost-effective route into high volume inkjet printing. The flexo lays down solid colours on static backgrounds with inkjet providing variable information and continuous tone imaging. Georgia Pacific in the USA is a user of T1100S and T400S machines, in conjunction with German flexo pre-print specialist Conprinta in a hybrid mode. DS Smith will upgrade its installation in Germany to the higher speed while Ghelfi in Italy is moving into six-colour mode to boost quality. HP has upgraded the performance of its giant webfed Pagewide T1100S press to add two more colours and increase the top speed to 305m/min, which is 13,600 x A4 prints per minute. As food and beverage, with cosmetics, tissues and pharmaceuticals represent the majority of corrugated output, HP believes this is a significant advantage over UV-based inks. HP uses true water-based inks, highlighting the importance of food safety with inks approved for NestlГ© Guidelines and the Swiss Ordinance. The PageWide C500 has a couple of important technology features, with an innovative board transport system featuring a linear motor-powered virtual belt with a vacuum grip passing the board under the thermal heads. The second machine, now in final beta stage, is at the Smurfit Kappa Interwell plant in Austria where it is a replacement for high quality flexo. The plan is to swap out this machine at the end of the year with a new complete line. In time Frankel sees the technology replacing product labels on flexo printed cases and trays. It is currently producing some 200,000 square metres per month and the company sees opportunities to replace litho-lam and provide more options for customers with faster delivery. The first machine, described as a development system, is in place at Israeli player Carmel Frankel, part of the Hadera Paper Group, which operates two corrugators. In June, HP held a customer VIP event in Israel, showcasing the 1.3m wide PageWide C500 post-print machine, described as the вЂspeedboat for the corrugated sectorвЂ™ by HP Scitex general manager David Tomer, who also announced they have 10 orders for the press. They have backed this with major investment and it is starting to pay off, reports Sean Smyth.ДЄt the top end of the spectrum press manufacturers including BarberГ n, Bobst, Durst, EFI, Engico, ERAJet, HP, Koenig & Bauer, Macarbox, Screen/BHS and Sun Automation have all invested large sums in inkjet for corrugated. Need to have a crew of knowledgeable techs come in and spend 3-4 weeks catching the pmвЂ™s up then hand it off to a few new techs and hold them accountable but need to do something about the environment left to go be a mechanic in the dirt cause itвЂ™s better and more air circulation.There is a lot of activity in developing new digital corrugated printing systems and suppliers believe that the future is in inkjet. It is a tech burner, they canвЂ™t keep a tech till they change the environment and the way things are run. Run The management doesnвЂ™t care about you and thatвЂ™s why this place canвЂ™t keep techs. Terrible environment to work in terrible place to work for. The ambient temp with the steam is always 105 so humidity kills you, the equipment can be above 140 degrees most the time. The customers plant is trash, 3 single restrooms among 80 people, no circulation of air. They expect people to drop everything they are doing and come in on a whim after you already worked 14 hours the day before, the job never ends cause the customer doesnвЂ™t stop complaining about little things. Terrible! Management is terrible, has no back bone.
