Key Purchasing Considerations for Used Converting Machinery

• Material Range: Verify the machine's specifications for handling your required material types, thicknesses (GSM or microns), and widths.
• Condition of Rollers and Dies: Inspect all rollers for wear, damage, and consistent surface finish. Check the condition of any included die-cutting tools or cylinders.
• Speed and Accuracy: Inquire about the machine's maximum production speed and its registration accuracy, which is critical for precise die-cutting, printing, and gluing operations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Converting Machinery

What is a slitter rewinder used for?

A slitter rewinder is a machine that takes a large master roll of material (like paper, film, or foil) and cuts it into narrower rolls of a specified width. It simultaneously rewinds the slit material onto new cores, creating finished rolls ready for further processing or sale.

What should I check on a used folder-gluer?

On a used folder-gluer, inspect the condition of the feeder belts and vacuum system. Check all folding sections for alignment and the condition of the guides and rollers. Verify that the glue system (either cold glue or hot melt) is complete and functional. Run a test box to check for accurate folding and gluing.
