Providing a high production output and low scrap rate by using a patent-pending, continuous forming process, the QuadPro paper former combines state-of-the-art technologies. The innovative turnkey paper forming, tooling, and automation solution can provide material scoring without cutting blanks while running printed or unprinted paper with automatic continuous decurling and splice detection, enabling easier operation. This means that no operator adjustments are needed, machine jams are drastically reduced, product quality is significantly improved, and machine operation is easier overall.
The system’s automatic splice detection capability allows it to bypass score and form stations, achieving a faster changeover and less scrap. Its servo-controlled score depth adjustment allows for easy on-screen adjustments stored in a recipe for recall, as well as on-the-fly adjustments that reduce downtime. This helps achieve consistent, ultraprecise score depth in increments of .0005 in. (0.0127 mm).
Other benefits include its ability to cut and form in place and its automated product extractions, stacking, counting, and conveyance. The system can also form plates, bowls, and trays.
