Canpac Trends invests in Rapida for its Delhi-NCR facility

The machine comes with Koenig & Bauer’s patented SIS (sensoric infeed system), fully automatic plate changer (FAPC), special format of 780x1,060-mm, with substrate range up to 1.2-mm, with carton and plastic package capabilities. 

The machine, supplied and installed by Indopolygraph Machinery, will be installed at Canpac’s new greenfield location in Delhi-NCR.

Raag Todi from Canpac Trends said, “We’re seeing a strong demand in premium packaging that our current capacity couldn't handle effectively. The RA 106-7+L helps us serve our existing clients better while increasing capacity for segments where quality requirements are higher.

He said the press will be the backbone of Canpac’s north facility, helping it serve the north market efficiently. 

The company’s north facility is a part of building the infrastructure and geographic presence the company needs for sustained growth. The company is taking measured steps to enhance its capabilities while maintaining a focus on operational excellence.

“It made sense to start with proven technology that we understand well from our existing Koenig & Bauer installations,” Todi said, adding, “These features should help reduce our setup times and minimise waste during job changeovers. We're hoping to see smoother operations, especially during busy periods when we're switching between multiple jobs.”

The larger format and thicker substrate capability of the machine is expected to open some new opportunities for Canpac, giving it more flexibility with customer requirements. 

According to Todi, clients are asking for shorter runs with faster turnarounds. The new press should help us handle these changing requirements more profitably. “It should make things easier for our operators, especially when handling different types of materials. We're expecting some improvement in the workflow,” he said.

He added, “Our experience with Koenig & Bauer has been quite positive. That track record gave us confidence to continue with the same brand.

Shashank Surana of Indopolygraph Machinery said, “Canpac is one of the fastest growing companies of India and we are proud to be associated with them. We are thankful to Canpac for trusting our proven Rapida technology at every new greenfield setup, be it Tirupur, Kolkata, Hyderabad and now NCR. This is our seventh highly configured press at Canpac and we are positive many more will follow in the future.”
