IP, Cascades Announce Board Price Increases
Fosber Makes ‘Quantum’ Leap In North America BY JACKIE SCHULTZ
Memphis, Tennessee based International Pa- per last week announced a $60/ton domestic linerboard and medium price increase and Kingsey Falls, Quebec, Canada based Cas- cades announced increases of $60/ton for linerboard and $70/ton for medium. The announcement follows earlier re- ported increases by Packaging Corporation of America, which announced a $70/ton in- crease and Greif, which announced a $50/ton increase for all grades of uncoated recycled paperboard, a $70/ton increase on recycled and semi-chemical medium, and a $60/ton in- crease on recycled linerboard. All increases are effective at the beginning of March 2021. With this issue, Board Converting News has adjusted the Average Containerboard Prices on its page 3 chart by $50/ton for Kraft Liner and Semi-Chem Medium to reflect the increases announced by major paper suppli- ers late last year. As the chart states, average prices are tabulated from prices PAID by var- ious sources in North America and are only intended for purposes of reference. They do not connote any commitment to sell any ma- terial at the indicated average.
After considerable investment and R&D efforts between Quantum Cor- rugated and the Fosber Group, Fosber America is now ready to launch a new version of the Quantum corrugator in North America. The new line is being marketed as “Quantum by Fosber.” Introduced in 2015,
there are currently about a dozen Quantum installations worldwide, in- cluding one in the U.S. It was recently updated after the Fosber Group acquired 60 percent of Agnati and established a new company called Quantum Corrugated. The announcement last year of Fosber’s intent to acquire Agnati drew keen interest considering both manufacturers offer full line corru- gators. However, the redundancy stops at the Quantum, according to Jeff Pallini, President of Fosber America. “We saw a real future for the Quantum technology,” he says. Fosber offers three lines of what are considered traditional cor- rugators for high- and mid-volume box plants. The Quantum doesn’t compete with those lines. Instead it serves the specialized markets of microflute corrugated and high-end graphics, and soon will have lami- nating capabilities. Key sections of the machine were re-engineered to include Fos- ber’s proven technology while keeping Quantum’s patented innova- tions to preserve its niche appeal. The new line now includes Fosber Fosber America recently completed a 40,000-square-foot expansion of its headquarters in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

40 ft of paper travel from preheater to hot plates 3 seconds of heat, glue and bonding 1 chance to get it right! the ZONE
Design & Production
Chicago Electric offers 10 technology solutions to control ‘the Zone’ CORRUGATOR Sectoral preheating plate
Our sectoral preheating plates provide direct heat by means of a double steam circuit, allowing for efficient heating in hard-to-access locations, as well as to act as a steam shower to open the paper’s fibre, making it receptive to absorbing the heat and the glue.
This translates into increased speed and improved quality of the cardboard sheet finish.
The system’s main advantages are as follows:
• The plate may only be used to heat, only to humidify, or both options at the same time. • The plate is sectored, which allows for applying humidity to the sections. • It provides temperature in previously inaccessible locations and near the location needed. • It compensates the loss of temperature dissipated due to distance, speed or limitations of the exiting preheaters. • Quick transferring of heat to the paper. • The combination of the hot plate and steam shower allows for providing heat even to the hardest papers to heat. • Does not dry out the paper. • Possibility of operating as a humidifier and pre-conditioner. • Maintains and improves the fibre’s elasticity. • Acts according to the operator’s needs. • Facilitates the paper’s hygroscopy to absorb the glue and improve rubberising.

calibrations and settings. Bar systems avoid this, but compensate this with the risk of exces- sive glue application. The system contains many wearing parts. Solution The contact roll combines the ad antage of both systems and ensures minimum contact between board and applicator roll. The system uses small pneumatic cylinders in order to achieve a “soft touch.”

Roller Shoe Press When it comes to a short-term increas of web tension, spring loaded systems with shoes or airpressure activated system have problems in compensating these. The system is lifted for a short time. This may result in de-lamination and in the ‘double kiss’ effect. Solution For a defined and exact bonding point of the web fiv weight rollers will be installed usually over the first flat hotplate of the heating section. The rolls are mounted into a frame, which is actuated by means of two pneumatic cylinders. P oductivity Issu —Double Kiss Bonding

Advantage Corrugated & Packaging Invests In Third Kolbus Machine With more than a decade in business, Advantage Corru- gated & Packaging, a Hopkins, Minnesota manufacturer and distributor of boxes, is continuing its expansion and growth with a third machine from Kolbus America in three years—an AutoBox AB 300. The firm, which caters to cus- tomers who need cost effective, short and medium run manufacturing for their specially-sized corrugated ship- ping containers, industrial packaging, and point-of-sale, signed the contract in December 2020 and will install its newest investment in early February 2021. Advantage has assembled a diversified base of cus- tomers within the state from the manufacturing industry, to printers, and corrugated brokers. “We offer a wide ar- ray of capabilities and solutions to our customers who require cardboard corrugated packaging,” says Dave Po- boisk, President of Advantage Corrugated. “Our team of employees manufactures everything from small boxes to extra-large boxes many of which do not fit the capabilities of our competition. The new Kolbus machine has the abil- ity to run as large a corrugated sheet as our raw material manufacturer can produce.” The new Kolbus AutoBox AB 300 machine provides Advantage with the flexibility and versatility to produce more than 100 different box styles from one panel folders
to extra large containers. It is the only machine on the mar- ket that can set itself in less than one minute from one job to the next. Operators appreciate its user-friendliness due to its capability of automatically changing box styles and sizes with a touch screen. No tooling is necessary; Advan- tage operators just input the job that they want to run and the AutoBox sets itself in seconds. “Due to the wide variety of box jobs that come to us, we rely on the Kolbus AutoBox to enable us to turn a special- ized job from layout to conversion in a very timely manner,” says Poboisk. Advantage purchased its newest AutoBox machine in December 2020 after having installed the Boxer and Pro-Gluer in 2017. While the firm has seen an upward tra- jectory since it opened its doors in 2009, the current pan- demic and the growth of e-commerce has certainly boost- ed box production due to the need of manufacturers to utilize corrugated boxes to send products. “We didn’t look at any other manufacturers,” says Po- boisk. “Kolbus America has been a wonderful partner. Everyone on its staff—from the sales, technicians, order- ing, and training---are good people. When we need some- thing, they jump. When we have a question, the support staff quickly answers it. Kolbus is a very ethical, receptive operation that has been one of the important reasons that our business keeps growing. Special thanks go out to our customers, employees, vendors, and sales people. With- out them, this purchase could not have been made.”
