Roll Flex Label Co., based in Hackensack, NJ, USA, has invested in a Grafotronic HI3 inspection slitter-rewinder system – its third machine from the Sweden-headquartered manufacturer.

The Grafotronic HI3 is a third generation fully servo driven inspection slitter-rewinder. The HI3 features a max speed of 1,300 fpm and allows for the addition of the most popular web inspection systems on the market and accurate fault placement onto an operator friendly, wide viewing area for the removal or replacement of defects.

The machine can be upgraded with a semi-automatic turret, and Grafotronic’s automatic slitting knives make it the most productive and automated slitter-rewinder on the market, the company states.

Roll Flex Label Company, established in 1983, is a prominent New Jersey converter that specializes in pressure sensitive labels.

“We invested in a Grafotronic CF2 digital converting machine almost two years ago. Since then, our business has grown about 40%. My husband has since joined our company – after having worked on Wall Street – and had never produced a label in his life,” explains Margaret Zink Boyle, owner of Roll Flex Label Co. “We’ve been really happy with our CF2, and Grafotronic has been great with training our employees. It’s been an amazing machine that we’ve enjoyed having in our factory.

“Following the success of our CF2 investment and the addition of a Raptor sheeting machine, the decision to invest in another Grafotronic machine for high-speed inspection and slitting was a natural choice” she concludes.

Grafotronic, established in 2015, is based in Lake Zurich, IL, and has a team of 12 sales and service professionals. Grafotronic worldwide, founded in 2004, is headquartered in Sweden and operates a 200 people, 50,000 square-foot factory in Warsaw, Poland. Grafotronic boasts more than 150 installations in the US.
