Heidelberg Unveils New Diana X 115 Folder Gluer
03/10/2008
- Exceptional output of over 200,000 cartons per hour
- Makeready times cut by up to 85 percent compared to Diana Pro
- The ultimate in quality and reliability in production
- Modular design allows wide range of carton types to be processed
Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) will be unveiling the
new Diana X 115 at drupa 2008. The new design feature of this
folder gluer is its open frame design. It processes high-quality,
complex folding cartons in both long and short runs, and its
modular design boosts the potential for customization, making it
the ideal solution for an almost limitless range of cartons. Its
working width is 115 centimeters (45.28 inches). The Diana
X 115 has been designed for professional folding
carton processors. It processes board for folding cartons with
grammages ranging from 200-900 grams per square meter and N, F, E,
and B flute corrugated board. Over 200,000 cartons can be processed
per hour at speeds of up to 650 meters (2,130 feet) per minute.
This high capacity is actively supported by the Diana Feeder and
the new Diana Packer.
What is more, fully automatic changeover cuts makeready times considerably. Further advantages include maintenance-free servo drive technology, a state-of the-art safety concept with light grids, and a new roller bar and transportation concept that increases flexibility and accelerates adjustment. A new ejector system means that all faulty carton types can be removed in travel direction.
The completely new collapsible module has been designed specifically for the production of collapsible and lockbottom cartons. As far fewer components have to be changed over, the makeready times for individual carton types have been cut by up to 85 percent compared to Diana Pro.
The ultimate performance coupled with the finest quality and reliability in production
The absolute fold lengths of 3.5 meters (137.8 inches) in the prefolder and 3.7 meters (145.67 inches) in the folding section enable high production speeds of up to 650 meters per minute and ensure outstanding quality. The new ejector module removes faulty cartons in the travel direction when the machine is operating at full speed and ensures continuous error-free production. The Diana X 115 recognizes all carton types, from the smallest cartons used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics sectors to large special cartons.
Modular design for outstanding flexibility
Various modules can be used to customize the Diana X 115 for specific requirements. Pneumatically lifted side walls and feed gates ensure rapid makeready times at the feeder. The blank alignment module behind the new feeder is supplied as standard with the Diana X 115.
When processing lockbottom cartons, all cross folds in the cartons are made in the lockbottom module. The overall length of the prefolder remains unaltered throughout this process, which ensures short makeready times. Moreover, format parts no longer need to be installed and removed in the prefolder.
The optional rotary module rotates cartons by 180 degrees, enabling them to be processed in one pass instead of two.
A pressing module can be integrated into the device in a variety of ways. This module uses defined pressure to press crease lines in the cartons into their fold position and increases form stability significantly.
A special feature of the Diana X 115 is that it can also process very small cartons with a belt edge folding system. Even open blanks in formats up to 45 millimeters (1.77 inches) can be folded effectively. To do this, the lower center carrier is simply moved away to the side.
The Diana X 115 has three different positioning systems - AUTOset, DIGIset, and MANUset - which are used for fully automatic, semi-automatic, and manual setup respectively.
Customers can choose between a short and long delivery solution depending on production speed and material thickness.
