Corrugated-box maker Green Bay Packaging‘s plant in Lebanon, OH, recently purchased the 200th Twin Box Slitter® sold by BW Papersystems. This milestone for the popular machine recognizes its precision, efficiency and contribution to optimizing boxmaking production lines.
The Twin Box Slitter has become an industry favorite for the versatility it brings to production by expanding the product range boxmakers can manufacture with a mid-size, flexo folder/gluer, the supplier says. Green Bay Packaging joins a growing list of companies that have enhanced their manufacturing processes by integrating this highly productive equipment into their operations.
The addition of a Twin Box Slitter enables box plants to double the production of flexo folder/gluers by running two-up boxes. These boxes are slit by the Twin Box Slitter, creating two boxes. Once the boxes are separated, they are ready to be bundled. This process allows manufacturers with a mid-sized, flexo folder/gluer to efficiently create a wide range of corrugated-box sizes, from very small to large, on one machine with the potential to double productivity at the same time.
