manroland Goss has also completed pneumatic upgrades on competitors’ flexographic equipment to resolve performance and consistency challenges.
Common Flexo Folder Gluer Problems
Your equipment may need service when you experience:
- Frequent sheet-feeding problems
- Print-registration inconsistencies
- Uneven scoring or slotting
- Poor fold alignment
- Glue-placement problems
- Boxes opening after production
- Excessive vibration or noise
- Recurring jams or stoppages
- Intermittent PLC or drive faults
- Slow setups or difficult changeovers
- Reduced production speed
- Difficulty sourcing obsolete components
- Declining finished-product quality
Identifying whether the cause is mechanical, electrical or process-related is the first step toward a lasting correction.
