Efficient Print Trim and Matrix Removal
Continuously remove trim waste and matrix directly from the printing press
With the BloApCo Bagclone system, trim waste and matrix are continuously removed directly from the printing press, shredded by inline cutters and air-conveyed to a collection area.
The Bagclone system is an efficient, cost-effective and proven solution for managing waste, with a simplistic configuration for easy installation and setup.
Ideal for pressure-sensitive tag and label applications, foil, laminates, paper and plastics up to 508mm thickness. The system is engineered to handle high web speed with high air capacity (up to 1,000 cfm), high air velocity and up to 3,600 rpm.
With 1 HP of cutting power and progressive shear action, NEOR knives cut all materials, ranging from very thin foils to thick, sticky materials.
The Bagclone works like a powerful vacuum:
Edge trim and matrix waste are picked up directly from the press through flexible pipes, sucked into an inline trim cutter, shredded by powerful rotating knives and air-conveyed by a material handling fan through ducting to the Bagclone device.
The Bagclone device exhausts the air volume and velocity, acting as a cyclone, discharging the shredded material to the waste collection area.
The system can be easily scaled or integrated into a central collection area, and is adaptable to almost any waste container, such as bins, drums, compactors and balers.
It can be set up as a stand-alone solution or scaled up to multiple pick-up points to a centralized collection area.
