Fosber
enjoyed great success at this years SuperCorrExpo®. We had over
700 visitors at our booth, which included the
major integrateds IP, PCA,
SSCC, GP, Longview
Fibre, CorrChoice, UniCorr, Smurfit-MBI, TIN,
RockTenn and Green Bay Packaging. The independents that
visited
the booth included GNC, President Container, Orange
County Container, Strive
Group, California Box Co., CSI, Atlantic
Packaging, Kruger, Arvco, Pratt
Industries, Menasha Corp., CSC,
Bates Container, and Weber Display &
Packaging.
Fosber's Twin 400 was
demonstrated and running at the
show. The
Complete Corrugator,
highlighting the Twin 400
Slitter/Scorer, SYNCRO
Corrugator
Control technology and the
industries best service &
training
departments drew many visitors.
With the ability to setup orders in under 20 seconds and
eliminating the need for lubricants on the KleenCut blades, we
demonstrated how the Twin 400 reduces the "Cost of
Operation" (as felts,
nozzles and lubricants are taken out of the
manufacturing process). Also
noting it drastically reduces the housekeeping required to
keep the machine
clean.
In addition to showcasing the Twin 400, we were also able to
demonstrate "live" our SYNCRO Corrugator/Process Control
System. This
was embraced by everyone, as it verified the
SYNCRO's ability to monitor and
correct the manufacturing
process in real time. With its traceability
function, plants will
have the capability to research why a product wasn't
run
perfectly up to 6 months later by going into the database and
researching all critical settings for every order.
Fosber came away from the SuperCorrExpo® with two firm orders and
numerous leads
for Complete Corrugators, Constant System/Twin combinations
and CREST GlueUnits.
