Bobst to unveil handling kit

Bobst will use Ipex for the world premiere of its Carton-pack GT auto packer.

The automated handling kit for carton folder-gluer lines can pack cartons into their transit packaging at up to 200,000 boxes an hour.
Bobst will run the GT full tilt on the end of a Mistral 110 folder-gluer.

The unit's optional sample-taking gadget makes it easy and safe to remove a carton from the stream to check for quality control, said the firm.

It will also highlight several models in its range of die-cutters at Ipex, including the SPeria Foilmaster 102, and use the show to unveil a logistics system for feeding pallets of work from printing presses.

According to the firm, the Foilmaster can quickly switch between die-cutting, embossing and hot foiling.
