With its manufacturing base in Dadra and Nagar Haveli, about 200 km from Bombay, Saptagiri Packaging is aggressively chasing growth and has invested in land-of-the-fine art equipment for its press as well as converting divisions. Information technology has as well expanded its plant and invested a significant amount of capital on modernizing it.

On 24 September, the company formally inaugurated its expanded plant that now has an surface area of 100,000 square foot spread over 3 floors, doubling the area information technology earlier had. Information technology too formally commissioned a brand-new Heidelberg CD 102 6-color printing with UV coater and a brand-new Bobst Novacut 106 diecutter. The company specializes in cicatrice back-upwards cards and supplies to customers in the FMCG and agro-chemical industries.

"Every visitor aims for growth considering with growth comes profit. The only way we tin attain growth is by constantly investing in technology," says Nikhil Warrior, executive director of Saptagiri Packaging.

Saptagiri is already familiar with both Bobst and Heidelberg technologies every bit it was using a second-mitt Bobst 102 SE diecutter, a Bobst folder gluer and a used Heidelberg Speedmaster CD 102. However, Warrior says this time the company decided to opt for only make new machines, given the less than satisfactory experience it got in bringing the used machines to production level.

"Nosotros are really happy with the combination of Heidelberg in the press section and Bobst in the converting department. Then, we wanted to keep with that combination when nosotros were planning to buy the new machines. In case of Novacut, the main advantage was the feature of double cam sector drive machinery, which ensures lifetime registration accuracy of +0.01 mm to -0.01 mm. That is what sets them apart from the residuum. Every bit for Heidelberg, at that place is not much to be said as nosotros have reached where nosotros are at present using their printing applied science and we have not bad trust on that make," he shares.

The Novacut 106 can handle maximum canvas size of  1,060 mm ten 740 mm and minimum sheet size of 400 mm x 350 mm. Its specification when it comes to stock thickness range is every bit follows: paper minimum 80 gsm, carton or solid board upwards to 2000 gsm or corrugated lath up to 4 mm. The Novacut runs at a maximum speed of eight,000 sheets per 60 minutes.

The Speedmaster CD 102 is the correct choice for packaging impress shops in India. It processes board upwards to 1 mm thickness with ease. Plate irresolute with AutoPlate is also quick and easy. The contact-gratis sheet transport with the AirTransfer arrangement and the high storage chapters of the inking system evangelize high-quality print result. The UV coating unit of the Speedmaster CD 102 is fitted with a chambered blade organization to run into the most exacting coating requirements and rigorous finishing standards. Saptagiri's CD 102 is a 2022 edition from Heidelberg and equipped with sturdy grippers and bearings of the Xl 106 printing and deliver high print quality with a speed of 15,000 sheets per hour on varied substrates.
