VEGA introduces the new folder gluer ALTAIR 

Jan 3, 2018

the Italian Vega company, located in Milan, well known for manufacturing multipoint folder gluer, presents the line for the corrugated board (up to BC Flute – 35mm of thickness) with the new machine model VEGA ALTAIR, available in 4 sizes, 160-200-240-290 cm. dedicate for the corrugated industry.

This machine all Made in Italy, has been constantly upgraded and it has been conceived for modules: giving the Customer a free and a continuing choice even after the installation.

In order to guarantee a very good folding quality, the machine has been equipped with an alignment system, Mechanical Blank Alignment, and a fourth additional conveyor of pre-breaking of the first and third creasing, for accurate results.

The Inline Box Ejection Module allows an underneath ejection of damaged boxes. As for the pressing Rollers module it shoves the box surface before pressure belt and after the folding and gluing stage, to insure precise marks. Servomotors independently motorize every module.

A particular attention has been given to the quality assurance systems, the Vega Altair counts standard; creasing carriages in the closing section, lateral squaring on the middle of the closing section, first squaring units at the delivery section, second squaring units in front of the collector, spanker system, like “case maker” for American boxes, back kicker for big and large crash lock bottom boxes.

A new technology has been developed during last year, and it the Crash Lock Bottom, 4 and 6 Corners HIGH SPEED mode.

This new system uses lower hooks mounted on two lower shafts driven by two independent brushless motors which allow the folding of the frontal flaps of the 4/6 corners and crash lock bottom boxes without using the upper mechanical hooks. This guarantees to reach high level of production because the gap among the boxes in the machine is considerably reduced and the speed of the mechanics of the machine can be brought to maximum levels.

The use of this new technology reduces the maintenance costs, by not using the mechanic upper hooks and it also reduces the make ready time.
