High speed rotary die-cutting
Consistent converting quality at record speeds
The rotary converting method is the most consistent in terms of quality and the most cost effective for high volumes.
The DRIVE range of rotary die-cutters is ideally suited for medium to long run lengths of common carton profiles. The DRIVE maintains the dynamic stability up to 350 m/min and delivers more than 2.5 billion saleable boxes per year. The V-DRIVE version is a unique feature to optimize tool cost.
Adapt the converting process to your market needs
The LEMANIC® DRIVE rotary die-cutter is also available as web-fed off-line converting line using pre-treated board reels.
