Thacker targets high-speed corrugated converting with box stacker
Key takeaways
- Thacker’s Counter Ejector stacker is designed to reduce jams and stoppages on high-speed corrugated converting lines.
- Adjustable spanker speeds and pusher timing support different board grades and box sizes.
- The retrofit-compatible system works with major Flexo Folder-Gluer brands and allows performance upgrades without replacing existing equipment.
Thacker is spotlighting its Counter Ejector corrugated box stacker that aims to support high-speed converting lines across multiple industries.
The solution is designed for jam-free operation and features adjustment points to reduce common stack-up issues and stoppage time, and improve throughput.
It also features adjustable spanker speeds and pusher timing that provide operators with control over the stacker, which works across grades and box sizes.
“Counter Ejector is engineered for fast installation and integration, allowing plants to retrofit existing lines with minimal disruption to production schedules,” says Thacker.
“Built for long-term value, the system supports ongoing upgrades. New enhancements easily bolt into older models to extend equipment life and ensure customers stay current with the latest performance improvements.”
It has the capacity for 400 kicks per minute, “supporting the fastest converting lines without slowing production.”
Lasting durability
The Counter Ejector has a heavy construction that ensures durability, says the company. It is compatible with all major Flexo Folder Gluer manufacturers’ equipment and available in 24, 38, and 50 inch machine sizes.
“The Counter Ejector integrates seamlessly across a wide range of production setups, allowing operations to upgrade performance without full equipment replacement,” underscores the company.
To further support plant reliability, Thacker also explains that it offers service programs for preventative maintenance goals.
Last month, Bobst launched an updated folder-gluer machine for corrugated board converting. The Masterfold now includes up-to-date technologies that ensure greater safety, simplified operations, and production efficiency.
Meanwhile, Mondi created a customized corrugated packaging solution for Turkish technology company Argesim Teknoloji’s sensor-based products, providing a 10% reduction in logistics and production costs.
