Baysek installation for Corrugated Case Company

Founded in 1996, and with more than 50 staff, The Corrugated Case Company is recognised as one of the UK’s leading specialists in the design and manufacture of corrugated packaging products. Operating out of a 50,000 sq.ft factory in the heart of the East Midlands, the company continue to support a vast portfolio of clients ranging from local businesses to leading national brands, providing packing solutions for everything from products in transit to external customer-facing promotional packaging.

Mark Wilcockson, MD, says; “We have invested heavily in our team and processes, combining the latest technology with extensive industry knowledge and expertise, designing, developing and manufacturing packaging that fulfils the needs of our clients and their customers, which is why we chose to replace our existing Baysek die cutter with the latest model C-170. Baysek have been an integral part of our business for many years and the machine is one of the busiest in our factory, it’s served us incredibly well for almost 15 years. The new C-170 will improve both quality and productivity across the entire corrugated conversion operation, and the existing tooling will transfer on to the new machine.” Mark concludes; “this has been a very positive move for us, we have had strong commitment from Baysek and their customer support is second to none. With this investment in the C-170 die cutter we will increase output, without the need for additional labour, all offering a very fast return on investment.”

The new C-170 Baysek automatic die cutter was installed and commissioned in May 2021. Robert Jess, UK & Europe Sales adds; “It was a pleasure to work with Mark and the team at CCC and further cement our relationship for many years to come. Repeat business with customers is testament to the manufacturing excellence of Baysek, we are happy to continue working with such a great company.” Robert continues; “the Baysek die cutting method removes the need to manually strip waste from die cut work, thanks to its innovative inline separation capabilities, no matter how difficult or intricate the job, enabling piles of blanks to be delivered in bundles using the “step stack” feature or full stacks ready for shipping on machine exit. The servo-driven C-170 represents a big investment and will give Corrugated Case the ability to handle higher volume packaging runs and increase capacity even further to produce more complex jobs.”

Highly automated, requiring only one operator and equipped with an advanced HMI, the Baysek C-170 automatic die cutter has a maximum sheet size of 1400mm x 1700mm with a maximum speed of 1800SPH. The Baysek die cutting method produces fully stripped nick/angel hair free, multiple-out die cuts as well as more complex work and large one-outs. The finished parts exit the machine, counted and stacked ready for shipping saving both time and additional labour cost as no further handling is required such as “breaking out” or further “stripping” unlike other die cutters on the market. The C-170 is capable of die cutting all grades of corrugated up to double wall, solid board and foil/foam laminates. The PLC is operator friendly and includes a unique step-stack feature and tie sheet inserter which is designed for bundles or smaller stacks. The C-170 is CE marked and has enhanced safety features throughout making the machine one of the safest on the market. Average job changeover is 10-15mins and running the machine only requires one operator saving on labour costs compared to other machines.
