TAPPI TIP0305-47 – Multiple-Out Rotary Diecut Stacking

By the very nature of running multiple “out” on a rotary diecutter, the blank size of each individual diecut will besmall and quite often at or close to press and stacker minimums. As many of these same blanks can also be run twoor more across (Or around), one can quickly see the potential for reduced performance if the order is not properly setup.

To achieve successful operation the converter must focus on the following areas of control and pay attention todetail when setting up the press and stacker. It should be noted that it is assumed that the die board has beendesigned and is good operating condition to ensure full scrap removal prior to the belt section to allow for successfulblank transfer.
