The topic of make-ready times is of great importance in every production plant – and this also applies to the production of cigarette packaging. As standard, crease plates are mounted on the dieboard of the cutting-die with numerous individual screws. This process is time-consuming and makes quick adjustment difficult.

The solution: marbalock. A quick-release screw fastening for crease plates that considerably reduces set-up times, simplifies handling for the machine operator and makes your production process more flexible.

Special quick-release screw fastening.

Production in the tobacco industry requires the highest efficiency and precision. Different types of cardboard and varying material qualities lead to frequent adjustments of the crease plates and longer set-up times. During production, the cutting rule may change, resulting in wear over time. This process requires manual make-ready to ensure precise and high-quality creasing; otherwise, the material may split. At the same time, there is increasing pressure to adhere to exact creasing specifications – while declining board quality due to cost pressure further increases the need for post-processing.

To meet these challenges, we rely on marbalock – an innovative quick-action clamping screw that significantly simplifies crease plate mounting. With marbalock, the crease plate can be quickly and effortlessly fixed to the dieboard, without the need for time-consuming screwdriving.

marbalock is available for the crease plate variants crease-plate-die and crease-plate-die|+. Thanks to the clever quick-clamping technology, assembly can be done in just a few simple steps – precisely, reliably and efficiently.

With marbalock you benefit from reduced set-up times and smooth production when manufacturing your packaging.
