Apressia CTX Series

Solutions

Do your cutter operators face any of the challenges below?

As employees age and companies face labor shortages, the cutting workplace environment is deteriorating.
There is a pressing need in the industry to improve workplace environments and reduce the load on operators.
Consider some of the issues described below.

Disposing of scraps each time after cutting is too much work

＋

Then the Apressia CTX Series is for you!

The Apressia CTX uses an automatic scrap waste removal system (AWR), dropping scraps beneath the table and using a conveyor belt to automatically transfer the scraps to waste bins.
Operators are no longer required to travel back and forth to handle waste, shortening total work time.
Work time can be reduced by 40%, on average.

Due to postpress labor shortages and increased personnel costs , operators are forced to work alone, limiting operation ratios.

Then the Apressia CTX Series is for you!

The Apressia CTX can be operated by a single worker. Using automated Apressia Front table loading* and Apressia Turning gripper, operators can load the jogger while paper is being transferred and cut.

This helps to improve operating ratios and reduce labor.
*Only available with the Apressia CTX132.

I want to reduce heavy labor that is hard on the back

Then the Apressia CTX Series is for you!

The Apressia CTX Full automatic jogging system (Apressia FAJS)* aligns press paper pallets and manages paper count, fully automatically.
Paper is then automatically transferred to the jogger, loosened with air, and transferred to the cutter. This avoids paper cuts to hands and fingers, for superior safety.
It is also excellent for managing larger or difficult to handle paper, such as tack paper.
*Only available for Apressia CTX132 size and larger.
