January 2, 2015

Bobst the packaging machinery majoris planning an Open House at its Pune factory from 26 to 28 February. “We are having a global launch of a brand new folder-gluerforthe litho
laminated and corrugated boxes at the Pune Open House – the Lila II 145. This machine has been designed by the R&D team of Bobst India and will be displayed at our Open House in Pune,” says Venugopal Menon, vice president, Bobst India.

Menon spoke to PS Aatthe KMPA Print Miracle Expo 2014 at Kochi about the upcoming event where Bobst will launch three major path-breaking technologies atthe Open House in
Pune. Having made a big breakthrough in the Kerala market selling a brand new automatic diecutter and a folder-gluer to Fivestar Offset at Kochi, Menon was gung-ho about the way
the market for convertors was shaping up. There are many packers using small semi-automatic machines of varied makes for packaging in Kerala which has been traditionally
strong in packaged fish, meat,ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook food, spices, beauty and ayurvedic products besides rubber items. “We have seen them maturing and expectthem to step intomoreproductive automatedlines for cartonmakinginthe next few years,” says Menon.

Apart from this there is a general buoyancy in the box making industry for packaging and Bobst is introducing several newsolutions attheOpenHouse to capitalize onthe demand.
Menon confirmed that an entry level diecutter with an in-line blanking platform that was recently world premiered at Brazil inJuly 2014 is being showcased at Pune .Another machine being shown in India forthe firsttime is a folder-gluer with an inline inspection system ‘Accucheck’ that will do 100% inspection of folding cartons with an in-line ejection system for defective cartons. This model was first launched in drupa 2012.
