In the end, performance countsFlatbed Diecutters from Gallus

Every day, a dynamic environment poses new chal-lenges to the folding carton manufacturer. It is there-fore very important to constantly adapt, while relyingon proven equipment: the Flatbed Diecutter. Flatbeddie-cutting technology has consistently enhanced inrecent years and continues to play a leading role infolding carton production. Gallus has further impro-ved and perfected it for even better suitability topresent market requirements.

The Gallus FCL and the Gallus FSM: Two flatbed die-cutting solutions offer maximum efficiency.

Production capacity all along the line.

In the end, it’s performance that counts – Gallus Flat-bed Diecutters for the highest efficiency productionof folding cartons from the roll.

The Gallus FCL 670/850/1010Powerful performance for high throughput

The flatbed cutters of the GallusFCL series are synonymous with pow-

erful performance and precisionfor medium and long run lengths.

When converting paperboardfrom roll, the Gallus FCL sets the

standard for productivity andthroughput.

Job storage and recalling of machinepresettings reduce setup times

to a minimum.

The Gallus FCL is the flagship of theGallus flatbed cut line portfolio and

has proven itself over the years,whenever long-term performance

and reliability are paramount.
