Bobst has supplied a flexo folder-gluer to help Indian corrugated firm B&B Triplewall accomplish a packaging production world record.
The company recently received two large orders with the same delivery timeframe, and despite having a string of safety measures in place due to the Covid pandemic, it managed to achieve a production level of 142,611 boxes in eight 8 hours, breaking and regaining the world record for corrugated box production.
B&B used an FFG 8.20 DISCOVERY flexo folder-gluer, which Bobst said features high levels of automation, maintaining accuracy and quality at high speed, with fully automated, high-quality folding.
It is is designed to produce all types of boxes from standard RSC up to full die-cut and high graphics – B&B Triplewall has identified high graphics as a key area of growth in the Indian market. It also claims to offer shorter set-up times and fewer stoppages.
“The record means a lot to us,” said Manish Gupta, Chairman and Managing Director at B&B Triplewall. “We actually held the record before but it was surpassed by another company, so that gave us extra incentive. The whole team was extremely motivated to achieve this and I am so proud of everyone for going the extra mile, particularly during such a challenging time.”
