Marbach presents technology for carton sector

By launching the masterstrip-plate to the folding carton sector the Karl Marbach GmbH & Co. KG brings a new and highly efficient stripping technology for difficult jobs to the market. With a pressure plate fixed to the stripping upper die the masterstrip-plate provides a stable and reliable stripping process.

After Marbach has already successfully utilized the masterstrip-plate in the corrugated board sector for some time this technology is now finally also available for our customers from the folding carton sector.

Marbach’s General Sales Manager for folding carton, Bernhard Reisser, explains: "Ever faster and large-format machines, blanks with very small as well as a high number of waste parts and the increasing use of cardboard with a high proportion of recycling material make highest demands of the tooling technology. And we have met these requirements. With the masterstrip-plate we supply our customers with highest stripping reliability — even for extremely difficult jobs such as not flat sheets. The unbeatable advantages of this Marbach technology are a high performance of the diecutter, a smooth sheet transport and a very good stripping result. This is how we achieve highest reliability during the stripping process and thereby increase the productivity of our customers’ diecutting department."

Marbach customer Mr. Ernst Gehlhar, work preparation department at Schur Pack Germany GmbH, confirms Bernhard Reisser’s expressions: "We had a tricky job with a very high proportion of waste in the sheet and were concerned that this might lead to stripping difficulties. Marbach suggested using the masterstrip-plate for this job. We agreed — and what shall I say? We are thrilled! Utilizing the masterstrip-plate we achieved a very stable stripping process with a good and very constant stripping result for this job. The sheet ran very smooth so we could increase the machine speed compared to standard stripping tools. Our result: Especially in connection with jobs with very unstable sheets, which means a high proportion of waste, also in the future we will rely on the masterstrip-plate from Marbach."
