Sumter Packaging adds 7 color Gopfert Rotary Die Cutter

Southeastern based Sumter Packaging Corporation has added a 7 color Göpfert Rotary Die Cutter at its main Sumter, South Carolina facility.  The 16/28 Göpfert High Boardline machine has a 66” by 110 ¼” print width capability and has 7 JB Machinery ColorDry XL 3000 IR dryers, plus the JB Visionmaster in-press inspection and monitoring systems. To achieve the highest quality, the Göpfert rotary die cutter’s ink conditioning system is outfitted with automatic temperature, PH and viscosity control systems. In addition, the machine has vacuum transfer and uses Göpfert’s Auto Register and Dimension Control system to automatically adjust the board in two dimensions as it moves though each print section of the machine to maintain tight registration. Sumter Packaging’s Göpfert also comes equipped with a camera system and automated quality monitoring system that screens each piece and automatically ejects any product not meeting strict quality standards.  For efficiency, the machine is outfitted with two bundle breakers and an inverter from Corrpal Systems.  “The Göpfert is an incredibly well built machine. We are thrilled to be able to provide this level of quality for our customers” said Benjamin DeSollar, CEO of Sumter Packaging.
