SunDance upgrades its Ares 400-SUP pouch machine

Hudson-Sharp, part of Barry-Wehmiller’s Converting Solutions, has added the capability to the converter’s machine to add dual-registration capability.   

 

Thomas Evans, sales executive, Hudson-Sharp, said: ‘SunDance purchased a Hudson-Sharp Ares 400-SUP pouch machine with inserted gusset capabilities. Our customer asked for the capability of dual registration, along with the ability to use two different substrates of varying thickness for the front and back of the pouch. I’m thrilled to say we were able to deliver.’  

 

This technology allows Hudson-Sharp’s Ares 400-SUP machine to produce inserted gusset pouches using a variety of substrates for front and back webs.   

 

JohnHenry Ruggieri, president, SunDance, added: ‘With the Ares 400-SUP and the new dual-registration technology, we instantly have expanded our pouch capabilities. We now have the ability to run multiple combinations of pouches utilizing up to three different films, so feasibly, you could have a clear front, metallic back and a paper bottom, all while staying in perfect register from front to back.’   

 

Scott Romenesko, director of Sales-Americas, Hudson-Sharp, concluded: ‘This technology is the result of a true partnership between Hudson-Sharp and our customer. SunDance is an innovative print solutions company with a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. We’re proud to have been a partner on the dual-registration project. We worked together to successfully find a solution to meet the need for more flexibility.
