Colbert Packaging Installs State-of-the-Art Signature™ Folder Gluer

Colbert Packaging Corporation, a premier provider of paperboard packaging solutions, announced its implementation of a new Signature™ Compact Folder Gluer in its Kenosha, Wisc. facility. To satisfy growing demand for speed and accuracy, coupled with cost efficiency, the model 90 SLB includes a Sig Feed pre-feeder, Sig Pack auto carton packer, Leary glue system, overhead auto ejection system and more. This equipment will reportedly help Colbert employees meet and exceed the stringent quality expectations of its pharmaceutical and consumer product customers.

“The new Signature equipment, quite literally, enables our Kenosha plant to operate on all cylinders,” said Bill Snyder, vice president of operations. “Now we can serve our customers an even wider variety of cartons from a single machine.”

“Since the Leary glue system is aligned with the inline auto eject for defective cartons, we can achieve 100 percent glue and barcode detection, ensuring our customers receive the premier quality product Colbert is known for,” said Oscar Costilla, Colbert finishing manager. “And with Signature’s exclusive distributor, American International Machinery, Inc., just a few minutes away, technical support is readily available.”

Additional features of the Signature model 90 include a multi-feeder, left- and right-hand glue pots, motorized carriers with digital indicators for easy make-ready on repeat jobs, crash-lock bottom capabilities, two-code reader and placement detection.
