Bobst Develops ExpertFold Corrugated Board Folding-Gluing Range

Bobst introduces customer-centric enhancements to its ExpertFold corrugated board folding-gluing range, focusing on the ExpertFold 145/165 models now available in 106 and 215 versions for targeted applications. Recent updates include an automated blank aligner and full digital Job and Recipe Management Workflow. The machines feature extended feeder, folding, and delivery sections for robust handling of corrugated board and litho-laminated packaging, ensuring precise transport, folding, and gluing. Human Machine Interface SPHERE enables data exchange via BOBST Connect platform, allowing remote job preparation and access to production reports across sites for better planning and monitoring. Matic features with automated blank aligner streamline setups, boost precision, and ease operator workload. The ExpertFold 106 suits smaller micro-flute boxes with compact footprint while retaining key technologies for quality converting. ExpertFold 215 handles large blanks up to 2,300 mm width, with optional POLYVACUUM and GYROBOX XL for complex boxes, maintaining folding quality.
