The flying Elite

An automatic flat bed die cutter Elite has been seen days ago flying in the german sky.
It was because a quite complicated installation was going on, due to the very limited acces to the installation area it has been necessary to open up the building roof and drop the machines from the top.
Same way has been used for the DF printing line which stand in front of the Eterna die cutter.
Fly completed, the line is now in production.

Eterna  was present with a big booth where two mirrored  automatic flat bed die cutters was shown, the two lines was one  PE 1620 SA Elite  equipped with CS 3005 F and dual  breaker and one  PE 1620 SAL ACTION.

Both machines are part of the latest flat bed die cutters generation designed by the Shanghai based company the difference in between the two is that the Elite is a machine dedicated to the standar paperboard converting whilst the action is equipped with the "long feeder" particularly suitable for the converting of laminated paperboard.

The long feeder is an additional register station placed between the lead edge feeder and the gripper bar, thanks to this each board is carefully aligned on the lead edge and one side edge before to meet the gripper bar.
