The model 90 SLB includes a Sig Feed pre-feeder, Sig Pack auto carton packer, Leary glue system, overhead auto ejection system, and more.

"The new Signature equipment, quite literally, enables our Kenosha plant to operate on all cylinders," says Bill Snyder, VP of Operations. "Now we can serve our customers an even wider variety of cartons from a single machine." From the operator's perspective, this machine is easier to use and involves less repetitive motion. Improved efficiency means more work can be accomplished in less time.

"Since the Leary glue system is aligned with the inline auto eject for defective cartons, we can achieve 100% glue and barcode detection, ensuring our customers receive the premier quality product Colbert is known for," says Oscar Costilla, Colbert finishing manager, "and with Signature's exclusive distributor, American International Machinery, just a few minutes away, technical support is readily available."

Additional features of the Signature model 90 include a multi-feeder, left- and right-hand glue pots, motorized carriers with digital indicators for easy make-ready on repeat jobs, crash-lock bottom capabilities, two-code reader and placement detection.
