Folder-gluer FlexFold 52i

The KAMA FlexFold 52i is tailor-made for print shops and packaging manufacturers who want to offer the following services to large brand manufacturers, but also to regional brands and local suppliers:

Digitally printed packaging in changing designs with seasonal, regional or event-specific designs (e.g. food or fashion)
Small-format folding cartons, e.g. for the cosmetic market (NEW: down to 11x11x50 mm)
Folding Cartons with Braille, e.g. for pharmaceutical secundary packaging
Short to mid-sized runs, smaller batches, partial orders – saving costs and keeping designs up to date at all times
Folding cartons with shorter time-to-market

The innovative FlexFold 52i machine received the EDP Award 2017 for the “Best folded carton solution” (European Digital Print Association).

The versatile ProCut 76 is suitable for many different applications and is a perfect, state-of-the-art successor for worn-out cylinders and platens. And you can simply carry on using any tools you already have. The ProCut 76 can be retrofitted with an hot foil stamping system at any time.

Job change in record time

Switching to the next order at the push of a button.

The FlexFold 52i folder-gluer automatically adjusts itself up for the box dimensions of the next order. The feeder, prefolder, gluing disc and the entire folding and gluing section are motorised and move automatically to the correct positions (KAMA patent). This makes job changes possible in less than 5 minutes.

Another USP: The FlexFold 52i is the only folder gluer capable of directly moving to the positions for the next job. Reference runs as on other machines are not necessary, which additionally accelerates job changes.

100 % inspection

Quality check according to the desired criteria.

100% inspections are a critical requirement for folded cartons e.g. for the pharmaceuticals sector. For the FlexFold 52i, KAMA offers different inspection levels with ejection of rejected parts:

inspection of the glued seam,
inspection of the barcode and gluing tab code
all the way up to complete inspection of the print image, colour, text and any contamination/soiling.
Defective blanks are automatically separated out.

For Print 4.0

Interface to the ERP system for fast data flows.

Short throughput times are a major plus for digital printing – and the workflow needs to follow suit. To ensure that data is exchanged efficiently even with large numbers of orders, the FlexFold 52i can be networked with your MIS via the Job Manager.

Fast familiarisation

Machine quickly under control.

Thanks to the high level of automation of the KAMA FlexFold 52i, new operators can quickly be trained. After a short, steep learning curve, even non-specialists have the fully automatic machine quickly under control.

Sliding control panel

Wherever the operator needs it.

The control panel of the FlexFold 52i can be easily moved along the machine – to wherever the operator needs it, saving time and money.

Electronic order archive

Manufactured once, available to recall at any time.

Orders that are saved in the electronic job archive of the FlexFold 52i can be loaded directly as repeat orders.

KAMA AutoBraille

Inline Braille embossing with fully automatic positioning.

Positioning Braille embossing at record speed: On the KAMA AutoBraille for the FlexFold 52i, the pair of embossing wheels moves into position fully automatically. This is the only system on the market that can do this across the entire width of the machine, so that all possible embossing positions can be reached.

Tool change with automatic infeed is also ingeniously solved.

The FlexFold 52i Pharma folder gluer with AutoBraille is equipped with qualified systems for safety and validation at the highest level (EyeC ProofRunner Pharma, hhs Xtend³) and offers you the fastest job changes for pharmaceutical secondary packaging. The innovative solution for a higly attractive market!

Plasma treatment

For smooth surfaces and UV coatings.

With plasma treatment, the FlexFold 52i can also permanently glue sealed and smooth surfaces – such as metallized cardboard and UV coated boxes. The process is ideal for lock bottom boxes with multiple adhesive surfaces, which are popular as packaging for cosmetics.

Solid and compact design

Small space requirements and a long service life.

The design and construction of the FlexFold 52i and all the materials used in it are selected for a long service life of the folder-gluer.
