Diecut UK has announced announce the installation of a semi-automatic die cutter, the Redline 1700SF, at Box-It (Ireland) Ltd.

Box-It realised that its two existing hand fed platens were not coping with the increase in the number of orders and wanted to be able to substantially increase productivity. The company investigated the possibilities on the market and initially choose to approach Diecut UK mainly due to confidence in the vast market experience of Steve Waterhouse, Diecut UK’s managing director.

Alan Knox and Barry McAllister of Box It (then visited an existing Redline in operation and were so impressed by the production rate and quality of the die cutting that they placed their order for the Redline 1700 with a stripping section along with grip edge and waste removal.

The machine has a maximum die cutting capability of 1700 x 1180 mm with variable speed control and mechanical pressure settings. The Redline 1700SF runs at 3500 sheets per hour leaving a 100% stripped blank.
