Agwan (l): "The features in Varimatrix make significant contribution to smooth production"

Jamal Agwan, director at Prefect Packaging, said, “After seeing the live demonstration and its features we decided to opt for Varimatrix C105.

The die-cutter has various features which enhances the quality and production capacity. Since its installation we have already die-cut more than five million sheets.”

Heidelberg Varimatrix C105 has special features like double-sheet detection, sheet-retarding device, adjustable air blower and flexible air assistance for guiding the piles laterally, the feeder assures steady guidance of sheets and precise sheet transfer onto the belt / feeder table.

Agwan said, “The Varimatrix C105 also features pre-piling in front of the feeder. The pre-piling device is set according to a format such that perfect piles can be formed on pallets which run on rails.

This makes a significant contribution to smooth production. The sides of the piles are guided by a push button operated motor. The feeder can also be set up for operation with disposable pallets.”

He concluded, “The number of sheets which are die-cut can be marked with the use of paper ribbon which is located at the delivery unit.

The main advantage is that the operator need not count the number of sheets. The ribbon in the stack denotes the number of sheets.”
