In the evolving world of corrugated packaging, efficiency, precision, and cost-effectiveness are critical factors for manufacturers. VIG Graphics has been at the forefront of innovation, providing advanced Flute Laminator Machines that redefine industry standards. These machines are designed to optimize production processes, reduce waste, and ensure superior quality. Here are some key insights that highlight why VIG Graphics stands out in the market.
Precision Engineering for Versatile Paper Handling
One of the defining features of VIG Graphics’ laminators is their ability to handle a wide range of paper GSM (grams per square meter). The 3 Ply Flute Laminator efficiently processes:
- 100gsm paper for roll sizes up to 24 inches
- 140–180gsm paper for roll sizes up to 36 inches
- 180gsm and above for full-size jobs
This versatility ensures that businesses can cater to diverse packaging requirements without compromising on quality or efficiency.
Optimized Speed for Maximum Productivity
The performance of a laminator is often measured by its speed and consistency. The 3 Ply Flute Laminator delivers exceptional results with speeds that vary based on roll size:
- 7,500 sheets per hour for 18-inch rolls
- 6,500 sheets per hour for 22-inch rolls
- 4,500 sheets per hour for 36-inch rolls
- 3,500 sheets per hour for 44-inch rolls
Such high-speed operations translate into enhanced productivity, allowing manufacturers to meet high-volume demands efficiently.
Significant Glue Savings and Improved Adhesion
One of the most critical factors in flute lamination is glue consumption. VIG Graphics’ machines are designed to optimize glue usage, resulting in 30–40% savings depending on the flute type. The standard glue specifications include:
- Viscosity: 40–45 seconds
- Solid Content: 25–35%
By ensuring precise glue application, these machines not only reduce costs but also enhance adhesion strength, resulting in superior bonding and durability.
Controlled Moisture Gain for Consistent Quality
Maintaining the right moisture levels is essential for high-quality lamination. VIG Graphics’ machines ensure controlled moisture gain during production:
- 3 Ply production experiences a 3–4% moisture increase
- 5 Ply production experiences a 6–8% moisture increase, depending on environmental conditions
This level of control prevents warping and ensures the finished product maintains its structural integrity.
Minimal Wastage with Proper Handling
Efficient production involves minimizing material waste. With the right operational procedures and well-trained staff, wastage can be as low as one sheet per job. The key strategies to reduce waste include:
- Standardized glue preparation
- Maintaining optimal 2-ply production temperature
- Proper sheet cutting and handling
- Operator training and efficiency
By following these best practices, manufacturers can significantly improve cost efficiency and sustainability.
Durability and Longevity in Machine Performance
Investing in high-quality machinery ensures long-term benefits. VIG Graphics’ machines are designed to last over 20 years with proper maintenance. Key features contributing to their longevity include:
- Double bearings and bushes, reducing wear and tear
- Rugged construction to withstand high-volume operations
With routine servicing, these machines continue to perform at peak efficiency for decades.
Fast Changeover for Short-Run Jobs
Adaptability is crucial in modern manufacturing, where short-run jobs are increasingly common. VIG Graphics’ machines allow for quick changeovers, taking only 7 to 15 minutes. This flexibility enables businesses to handle diverse job requirements without significant downtime.
Low Maintenance and Readily Available Spare Parts
One of the standout advantages of VIG Graphics’ machines is their low maintenance requirement. Regular servicing ensures smooth operations, and most technical issues can be resolved through remote assistance via video or phone calls. The estimated annual maintenance cost is ₹20,000–₹25,000 for a machine running eight hours daily.
Moreover, spare parts are readily available and can be shipped promptly, ensuring minimal disruption to production.
VIG Graphics’ Flute Laminator Machines offer a perfect combination of efficiency, cost savings, and durability. Their ability to handle a variety of paper GSM, optimize glue consumption, and minimize wastage makes them an ideal choice for packaging manufacturers looking to enhance their operations. With a reputation for innovation and customer-centric solutions, VIG Graphics continues to set new benchmarks in the corrugated packaging industry.
