Folders/gluers can deal converters a winning hand.

By Tom Polischuk

Jim McDonald, ADI/PDM Trade Group—When considering a new folder/gluer, the customer must consider the substrate to fold and glue, production speeds, and support from the machinery builder.

Ron Brajkovich, product manager - folding and gluing/blanking, Brandtjen and Kluge—Narrowing the field of choices can easily be handled by dissecting your own jobs—identifying the work load, makeready requirements, run lengths, and turn times will narrow the field of choices to equipment-specific, individual needs.
