ITW Labels Boosts Production with Martin Butt Splicers

After evaluating several makers of butt splicers, Gold and his process improvement team selected Martin Automatic. The first two MBS butt splicers, designed to run supported pressure sensitive stocks, went into operation on narrow web flexo presses. Even using conservative numbers, Gold had estimated a short payback period. “After two months of running with the splicers, we saw double-digit improvement in throughput on both lines, and the actual payback is proving to be substantially shorter.”
