Three of the new units will be integrated with other Comexi slitters in the Wikpak plant in Walsrode, Germany, while the fourth will be installed at Wipak’s Poland-based facility.
Comexi key account manager Agustí Combis said: “They are slitters completely automatic, with high added value, dedicated to the conversion of flexible laminates and semi-rigid materials such as the ones used for the food packaging. Materials that only innovative enterprises like Wipak develops.”
The Comexi S1 DT is a double-turret slitting machine with regulating and control elements that allow high-production rates in applications that have many output reels such as those intended for the labels market.
The slitter is also capable of handling thicker structures, aluminum or non-woven materials.
