Bobst Group presents Mini lock bottom device
With a comprehensive portfolio of modular machines, peripheral equipment and a range of folder-gluers, Bobst Group has been able to meet its customers' production requirements from the simplest to the most complex of jobs. And the recent addition in the product list, the Mini lock bottom device, has added to the advantage.
The Mini lock bottom device is used in pharmaceutical packaging to produce small size of lock bottom boxes. Earlier, the smallest crash lock bottom boxes made on a machine used to be of the maximum open width of 146 mm (side panels more than 30 mm). Smaller boxes had to be produced manually which involved lots of labour and slow production rate.
However, with the Mini lock bottom device, a customer can produce the smallest lock bottom box of width 116 mm - open blank (side panel up to 25 mm), with speed up to 35,000 boxes per hour. This device has helped avoid the manual labour involved in gluing. It has improved the rate of production, eventually improving the quality.
Adding flexibility to the production process, this device can be retrofitted on models like Fuego/ Mistral/ Visionfold and Expertfold.
