KAMA folder-gluers

High-quality and flexible production with fast delivery times – for commercial printing and packaging.

The KAMA ProFold 74 is a machine for (almost) every situation. This multi-talented unit comes with a whole host of different functions and a constantly updated selection of tools to deliver an extremely wide range of potential applications, including the folding and gluing of folded cartons.

By contrast, the KAMA FlexFold 52i is specially designed for the packaging market. In 2017 it was the first folder-gluer for short runs to receive an award as the best solution for the production of folded cartons. The main advantage and USP of the unit is its ability to switch between orders in record time – something that is done on the FlexFold 52i with fully automated changeovers to the next order.

The best solution for folding and gluing?

It depends what you are after: a multi-talent or a fully automatic specialist.

More and more print shops are recognising the potential of using automated, machine-based folding and gluing. While the commercial printing market is all about wide-ranging and highly varied products and focuses on current trends for high-quality finishing and enhancements, along with enclosed add-ons that are designed to raise the curiosity of customers, an interesting new segment is currently emerging in the packaging market in the form of variable data printing (VDP): folded cartons in short runs (100 to 10,000 cartons) or with many SKUs, which cannot be produced cost-effectively using the high-performance machines of packaging manufacturers.

With a modest investment, you can summon this potential in-house and reposition your company in the marketplace with new services while occupying a niche market in packaging. Whether you choose to serve both markets with a flexible folder-gluer machine or prefer to specialise in the production of digitally printed folded cartons: KAMA has an advantageous solution for you in its portfolio, whichever scenario you opt for.

Highlights of KAMA folder-gluers

Flexibility for your finishing: from wide product range to fully automatic setting of the machine!

Fast retooling, flexible in its uses

Just like all the KAMA solutions, our folder-gluers are designed for small to medium production runs, i.e. for fast changeovers between orders. We have developed innovative systems for this, such as the tool mounting grid of the ProFold 74 and the fully automated adjustment of the FlexFold 52i, both of which are patented.

Software and automation

Backing up these fast job changes we have supporting software like the Job Planner for ProFold 74 or the high degree of automation on the KAMA FlexFold 52i. The folder-gluer for short runs is reset for the next order virtually at the push of a button, achieving the fastest changeover times in the market.

Operator-friendly

In our industry, operator convenience and fast familiarisation/initial training on the machines are becoming ever more important. So that every step is perfect and the results are impressive. Operators can learn quickly how to work with the fully automated FlexFold 52i, allowing them to readily master the machine.

Made in Germany

Our folder-gluers are manufactured in Germany. The few parts and electronics we do source from external suppliers come from high-quality manufacturers like Heidelberg and Omron, the glue application systems from hhs and Robatech. The durable and long-lasting KAMA solutions are used by customers all around the world.

Modular concept

KAMA folder-gluers feature a sturdy, stable construction and have a modular layout. Equipment and cutting dies are purchased by customers to suit their individual portfolio and can be upgraded at any time. With our configurator you can quickly establish which equipment will be best for implementing the services you require.

Erfahrungen aus der Praxis.

Das sagen unsere Akzidenz- und Verpackungskunden.

“Digital Design is a smaller printing shop, and yet, we offer a wide range of finishing options, so that our customers get everything from one source.A few years ago, we invested in the KAMA ProCut 74 Foil with the cliché positioning system CPX 76 and the ProFold 74 folder gluer. The wide range of applications of this equipment gives us a unique selling proposition in our region.”
