Bobst wins award in Brazil

Folding carton converting machinery manufacturer Bobst has picked up an award from Brazilian packaging magazine Embanews for the third year in a row.

Accucheck was chosen as an award winner in the Machines and Systems category, with representatives of Bobst Group Latinoamerica do Sul Ltda on hand at a ceremony in Sao Paulo to receive the award.

Accucheck joins Accubraille, in 2011, and smartGPS, in 2012, as Bobst systems to have won an award from Embanews.

The Embanews Awards recognize the best in packaging manufacture and the most innovative packaging technologies. The award process involves an in-depth examination and testing of entries by a committee of representatives from industry organizations.

Accucheck is an in-line inspection system for folder gluers, able to identify a range of print and print related defects including hickeys and spots, as well as color variance down to a level of 1 Delta Ec.

The system also identifies missing or defective text, can spot print defects on codes such as EAN/UPC, color or pharmaceutical codes, can recognize physical defects of the carton such as scratches or rubs, and can identify inaccurate die-cutting.

Accucheck is designed to work with Bobst’s own Masterfold and Expertfold folder gluers.
