UK-based sustainable corrugated packaging maker Rigid Containers has installed a Bahmueller Turbox Folder Gluer at its Wellington facility.
The installation follows a £4m investment programme at the Wellington plant. The Turbox Folder Gluer will be installed alongside the Bobst DRO six-colour rotary die-cutter and BP Agnati Quantum corrugator at the site.

The system features a modular design with short set-up times and high running speeds to offer maximum throughput. It is capable of handling various box sizes from around 225mm x 125mm.
Rigid Containers group sales and marketing director Julian Freeman said: “Having recently invested in both a new corrugator and six-colour printer at Wellington, ensuring we had the latest box-making capability was the next logical step.
“With the focus increasingly on sustainable packaging solutions, we have seen increasing demand for corrugated boxes. These high-specification machines will ensure we can respond quickly to customer and market requirements.”
The Turbox Folder Gluer features a Diagonal Fold Supervision, which allows it to supervise the folding process, and a HHS glue detections system to automatically detect any missed glued product on the run, which will be removed from the product using the Unique Eject.
