BW Papersystems VortX automated starch mixing stations and Zerand web-fed platen die cutters optimize paperboard converting operations. Precise starch gelatinization control and rigid platen mechanics minimize adhesive waste and cut folding cartons reliably.
- Automated ingredient dosing and multi-step adhesive preparation by VortX mixers
- Continuous automated monitoring of dynamic viscosity and slurry temperature targets
- Zerand web-fed platen die cutters for high-speed carton converting from paperboard reels
- Electronic tonnage monitoring preventing rule wear and preserving board fluting
Engineering foundation and manufacturing standards of BW Papersystems
BW Papersystems, headquartered in Phillips, Wisconsin, stands as a premier global manufacturer of capital machinery for paper converting, corrugating, sheeting, and packaging industries.
With engineering and manufacturing centers across the United States, Germany, Italy, and China, the organization operates under rigorous international ISO 9001 quality frameworks.
Bringing together the historic engineering heritage of MarquipWardUnited, WillPemcoBielomatik, and Kugler-Womako, the enterprise delivers integrated line solutions for mills and box plants worldwide.
The equipment portfolio combines robust mechanical builds, modern automation electronics, and comprehensive technical service support.
Corrugating line architecture and high-speed wet end machinery
The wet end of BW Papersystems corrugators encompasses heavy-duty hydraulic roll stands, automatic high-speed splicers, and quick-change singlefacers.
Hydraulic roll stands feature independent arm movements and pneumatic web tension monitoring transducers to prevent web breaks when unwinding large paper reels.
Singlefacers utilize precision-machined corrugating rolls treated with tungsten carbide coatings alongside positive air retention technology.
This mechanical arrangement ensures uniform flute formation without fluting fracture, producing premium board at line speeds reaching 460 meters per minute across web widths up to 2850 mm.
Corrugated converting machinery FlexPro and Twin Box Slitter modules
FlexPro flexo folder gluers and rotary die-cutter systems deliver high folding precision and crisp graphics reproduction for demanding corrugated packaging applications.
Set-while-run flexographic print stations enable operators to wash and prepare upcoming printing plates while the previous order completes, minimizing conversion downtime.
The patented Twin Box Slitter assembly separates two-up regular slotted container blanks right along the centerline as they emerge from the folding section.
This configuration doubles production throughput for standard shipping containers and trays while optimizing automated factory conveyor handling downstream.
Folio-size precision synchronised sheeting systems eCon and Hawk
Industrial folio synchro-sheeters eCon 1650, Hawk, and SheetRunner are engineered for non-stop precision sheeting of graphic fine papers, packaging board, and specialty substrates.
The twin-rotary synchronous knife drum design eliminates edge burrs, sheet dusting, and coating cracks, maintaining tight dimensional squareness tolerances.
Automated programmable decurling units eliminate roll set curl near paper cores, ensuring flat sheet presentation on downstream presses.
Non-stop pallet stackers carefully jog sheets onto pallets without surface scratching, allowing immediate transfer to printing, foil stamping, or folding operations.
High-volume cut-size converting and packaging lines SLK and Wrapmatic
High-capacity SLK 490 converting lines from WillPemcoBielomatik represent the benchmark for industrial conversion of office copy paper reams across 2 to 10 pockets.
The machinery executes continuous rotary slitting and transverse cross-cutting at web speeds up to 450 meters per minute with optical sheet count verification.
Integrated Wrapmatic packaging units envelop paper reams in protective moisture-barrier wrapping material with heat-sealed closure flaps.
Automatic cartonizers pack wrapped reams into rigid corrugated cartons and feed robotic palletizing systems, creating a streamlined plant workflow with minimal operator intervention.
Specialized Kugler-Womako passport systems, VortX, and Zerand presses
Kugler-Womako manufactures modular PassPort lines and ProBind binding systems for secure identity documents, passport booklets, and stationery products.
The machinery coordinates multi-layer gathering, security chain stitching, RFID chip inlay laminating, and round-corner punching with optical verification cameras.
BW Papersystems VortX automated starch mixing stations ensure reproducible adhesive gelatinization recipes for corrugator plants, while Zerand web-fed platen die cutters deliver high-speed blanking of folding cartons.
Replacement spare parts and technical upgrade programs safeguard sustained equipment uptime.
