CARTOSTRIP
With the Health and Safety of operators being of prime interest to all owners and managers of converting operations, one area of concern is the hand stripping of stacks of die-cut sheets. It is not only a time consuming process, but also puts stress on the operator’s lower back thanks to the continual bending over to remove the outer trim on the stacks. The other consideration is that as pressure mounts to reduce waste and maximize converting machine ‘up time’, perfectly stripped die-cut blanks ready for gluing is imperative. A new solution to this problem is now available from Bar-Plate. ‘Cartostrip’ is a hand held unit which enables the operator to strip waste trim from a stack of die-cut sheets easily and efficiently. The stripping device is held two handed by the operator and is manually moved down the stack of sheets, from the top to the bottom. The result is a perfectly stripped stack of die-cut sheets ready for the gluer. This tool is a must for all diecutters who do not have on press stripping capabilities. The unit, which weighs less than 12 pounds, is easy to handle and very robust. It will strip a wide range of die-cut products, ranging from heavyweight corrugated, through litho-laminated board, right down to the lightest grade of carton board or litho sheet. It is a quiet device, running at less than 91dB. The unit works around a toothed, rotating chain, which removes the outer trim from the stack of die-cut sheets at high speed. A protective cover across the top of the chain prevents damage to the sheets, as well as protecting the operator during operation.
