B&R Moll brings complete folder-gluer lines to the packaging and commercial print finishing industry while providing a breakthrough in rotary cutting with its digital rotary die cutters.
Currie Group finishing product category manager, Will Currie explains that the partnership came about after he attended IGAS in Tokyo while planning to modernise and replace some of the old-style machinery in use by local customers, and was researching B2 rotary die cutters in the folder-gluer market.
"Having seen the B&R Moll machinery and received positive feedback from our customers about their reliability, made the decision to pair up easy for us.
“About five years ago, we introduced our digital rotary die cutter into the US market, which was the only B2 die cutter in the rotary world able to die-cut offset print, or digital print, and run into one of our folder-gluers. It basically allows users to feed a sheet, die cut it, strip the matrix down to the ground, deliver the product into one of our folder-gluers, and essentially perform five processes into one,” explained Moll.
