K.W.Doggett installs Australia’s first SHM 1650 DR sheeter from Pemco

Aug 20, 2010. /Lesprom Network/. K.W.Doggett Fine Paper has successfully completed the installation of Australia’s first SHM 1650 DR (dual rotary) sheeter from Pemco, a company of the Körber PaperLink, company said in a statement received by Lesprom Network. “This machine, by sheeting virtually everything from 45 gsm newsprint to heavy coated bleach boards and composite boards, helps us offer a full spectrum to our client base,” says Simon Doggett, the paper house’s Managing Director. “It also doubles or even quadruples our throughput for some products, facilitates planning, and significantly lowers our converting costs whilst enhancing our already high quality standards.” The SHM 1650 DR produces clean, highly precise output on press-ready pallets, while requiring less operator involvement even at high speeds. The SHM sheeter completely eliminates need for a post-sheeting process, where K.W.Doggett Fine Paper formerly needed to trim and clean up the output by guillotining. Purchase and installation of the new sheeter were facilitated by Graph-Pak Pty Ltd, the Australian sales agent for KPL companies and their brands. Prior to sale, K.W.Doggett Fine Paper evaluated performance at Pemco’s headquarters in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, USA, including sheeting of a particularly challenging lightweight stock. K.W.Doggett Fine Paper is one of Australia’s leading suppliers of printing and writing paper and cartonboard to the printing and design markets, with warehouses and offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide. The SHM 1650 DR is located in Melbourne.
