Marbach, the tool manufacturer for the packaging industry, has expanded its portfolio and is now producing die-cutting tools specifically for sliced packaging.
The tools are mainly used in the food sector for sausage and cheese. For slicing applications the complete packaging process takes place in one machineFirst, the packaging is thermoformed from a plastic film, then the product is inserted and the packaging is sealed with a cover film.
The packaging is also cut to size in the same processing machine and is carried out in two steps. Firstly, the packaging is punched at right angles to the film web and then a longitudinal cut is made. Here a special tool is used for cross-cutting.
Philipp Rüger, Development Engineer Marbach Toolmaking: „This is where Marbach comes into play. We have recently started producing cutting-dies that have been specially designed for use in slicing applications. All Marbach steel rule tools are equipped with the special msilver cutting rule. This coated cutting rule is extremely sharp and very pressure-resistant, ensuring a long service life and maximum productivity in slicing applications. And if the cutting performance of the blade does start to deteriorate, the Blade changes with our solution are very quick, easy and cost-effective compared to solid steel tools become.“ The Marbach steel rule tools for die-cutting sliced packaging are available immediately.
