ROTARY
DIE-CUTTING solutions

Unlike with flat-bed die-cutters processing sheets, webfed rotary die-cutting solutions allow very high production speeds and extremely fast set-up, offline, for the maximum OEE.

After a high-speed printing stage, the converting of printed materials – including embossing, creasing and cutting operations – usually proves to be slow. It is especially true with flat-bed die-cutters and, in a lesser extent, with sheetfed rotary die-cutters.

Webfed machines allow significantly higher speeds via inline rotary die-cutting (RDC) solutions.

RDC machines combine oustanding cutting precision (without nick points), durability and a production speed up to 3 times as high as flat-bed die-cutters.

When used inline, right after the printing stage, RDC solutions also prevent from any interruption of the production flow.
They therefore generate time and labour savings.

Production flow insights

The tools are prepared offline so that the OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is maximum.
Simple and fast settings are proceeded for an instantaneous and stable production quality.
Very quick installation of the tools onto the production line.

The embossing can be separated or combined with the creasing and cutting stations.
It is then the first out of usual 3 stations.
An infeed unit regulates the web flow between the printing and the converting stages.

A high precision creasing is crucial for an efficient folding and filling process
The liquid packaging industry is extremely demanding in terms of accuracy.
The bricks must remain perfectly sealed.
Komori-Chambon has built a very strong knowledge in inline creasing

Perfect cutting at high speed, up to 450 m/mn is allowed by the rotary die-cutter
100% cut or half cut, standard cartonboard or PE coated : the tools are adapted to the substrate (single knife – crush cut or twin knives – scissors cut)
The cylinders also follow your versatility targets and ease of operation, from solid (monobloc) to segmented, shell or magnetic types.
A sheeting process can be considered thanks to a sheet-cutting tool integrated inline.

The stripping stage is key in the customers acceptance and satisfaction
To avoid the usual speed loss and jam risks, the design and precision must be high-level
Available in inboard or outboard (separated) configuration
Available in single blank or multi-blanks versions

For maximum versatility, the RDC can include a cross-section cutting function with variable repeat
No need to modify the regular installation. The web will by-pass the cutting station and be transfered to the slitter
The production can be handled seamlessly whatever the converting operations.
