Duro Bag Blows Away Downtime with Switch to All-Air Web Guides
(Archive News Story - Products mentioned in this Archive News Story may or may not be available from the manufacturer.)
(Sarasota, FL.) - With constant failures of electronic web guide edge detectors, Duro Bag's Jackson, Tenn, plant made a bold switch to all-air web guides from Coast Controls. Duro Bag Manufacturing Company is one of the world's largest produces of grocery, retail and specialty paper bags. Following a successful test period, Duro Bag began replacing electronic web guide systems with the all-air model CD2 from Coast Controls. The plant now uses 11 Coast guides on its 30 different production lines running virgin white, recycled white, Kraft, recycled Kraft and grease-proof papers.
According to David Weathers, engineer and maintenance manager at Duro's Jackson, Tenn. facility, "After the change, we documented significant quality improvements based on specific feedback from our employees and customers," Weathers said, "The all-air web guides were really a good choice for our converting operation. Every unit installed has performed absolutely maintenance-free. Plus," added Weathers, "they cost less than electric models."
Coast Controls was established in 1992 by William and Douglas Fife, both pioneers of the web guiding industry.
Now owned by Thomas E. Marks, also a veteran of the converting industry, Coast Controls manufacturers the world's only all-air automated web guiding systems at its corporate headquarters in Sarasota, Florida. Coast Controls also designs and builds a complete line of intermediate steering and displacement guides and shifting roll stands for unwind/rewind guiding. These air-powered web guide systems are renowned for ease of installation,simplicity of operation, and affordability. Today, Coast Controls web guides are sold and marketed to printers,packagers and converters and related machinery OEMs worldwide. www.coastcontrols.com
