Magnum Materials installs latest slitter rewinder from Bar Graphic Machinery

Managing director Stuart Botterman commented: ‘Magnum offers a unique slitting and distribution service to reduce lead times and maximize productivity. Manufacturers of materials are becoming less flexible about slit patterns that are available and minimum slitting widths. Magnum is keen to slit materials as required, no matter how big or small, and this creates manufacturing challenges.

‘After a live demonstration at BGM, working with some of our very difficult substrates, it was conclusive that the all-new BGM iSR truly was in a class of its own when it came to cost, capability, design and build quality. True to their word, the machine was delivered and installed on time and without any complications, and since the installation our output has increased by nearly 150 percent on some of our most challenging jobs as opposed to our existing narrow web slitter rewinders.’

Bar Graphic Machinery’s sales manager Daniel Carr said: ‘We are extremely proud to be a part of future expansion plans of Magnum Materials and will be working hard to ensure this successful relationship continues to deliver for many years to come.

‘The new BGM Elite 410 iSR label inspection slitter rewinder is the most cost-effective, compact and robust free-standing label inspection slitter rewinder currently available, boasting standard high specification features commonly found on more expensive slitter machines, such as automatic unwind braking with an adjustable roll end, reversible rewind and machine diagnostics. It is fast and highly energy-efficient, with speeds of up to 300m/min running on a simple 13 amp 230V plug.’
