The Challenge
Finding a Fast and Effective Trim Removal Solution
With the installation of a new slitter, the company needed a reliable system to manage edge trim removal efficiently. The system had to be implemented quickly to support the immediate start-up of production while also ensuring long-term reliability.
It was essential that the solution required minimal investment and was easy to integrate into their existing workflow. Additionally, since the company already had a Kongskilde system in their original production area, they were looking for a system that could offer the same level of performance and ease of use.
“The CUC is a small and compact unit that is very easy to operate and install, and I would highly recommend it to other manufacturers in the industry.”
