New platen cleaner from Marbach on the road to success

In December 2017, the Heilbronn-based die-maker Marbach introduced to the market its new cleaning device for corrugated board machines: the mplaten|cleaner. Since then, more than10 of these devices have been sold. And further orders are in the pipeline.The die-cutting machine is subject to natural wear and tear during the manufacturingprocess of packaging. But not only that. Unevenness in this area steadily grows due toincreased dirt accumulation in the die-cutting platen. The result is an increase in the amountof work involved in the setting-up and make-ready of the machine. This gradually reduces theproductivity of a die-cutter.The new device from Marbach removes dirt and rust from the platen. The cleaning processsmoothes out unevenness and thus minimizes the work involved in the make-ready process.The cutting pressure can be reduced. And this extends the lifespan of the tool. In addition, thecutting result is also positively affected by a clean die-cutting platen.Marbach recommends a half-yearly cleaning of the machinery to maintain optimal conditionsof the die-cutters.Sandra Hemberger, Sales Marbach Automation & Service: “We are very happy about thesuccess of the mplaten|cleaner. The feedback from our customers is consistently positive.”
