Bobst SL 1000 boosts production capabilities at European flexpack converter

Cellpack Packaging prints and converts 15,000 tons of flexible material per year from four production sites located in Germany, Switzerland, France and the Czech Republic.

The most recent addition to its lamination equipment is a Bobst SL 1000 duplex laminator, which was commissioned in September 2012, at the production site of Cellpack Lauterecken GmbH in Germany to replace a 20-year-old machine and to increase the facility’s solventless lamination capacity.

Rainer Hellwig, plant manager at Cellpack Lauterecken, said: ‘The web handling capabilities of the SL 1000 enable to run a broader range of substrates at high production speed, up to 450m/min depending on the web combination and process conditions. And the quality of the finished product we deliver to our clients is excellent.

‘The SL 1000 laminator has been providing excellent performance and level of productivity. The technical solutions it features optimize the profitability of our investment.’
