For many years, Acorn has built and maintained a strong working relationship with Daco Solutions. Their high quality equipment has aided manufacturing and recently, production manager Sam Heneker, attended Labelexpo Europe with the incentive of purchasing a new addition.
Sam made a decision to move to a 430mm web width and existing rewinding equipment had a maximum web width of 350mm. Fortunately, Daco was able to offer a solution and provide the special measurements needed.
Sam Heneker comments “Once we had made the decision to go with a 430mm web width we had to look at the finishing options available. All of our finishing and die cutting equipment is from Daco Solutions as well as the Daco DF350SR semi-rotary for finishing labels from our Domino N610i inkjet press. We like the simplicity of the Daco 3 spindle semi-auto turrets but they were only made in 250 & 350 web widths. I’ve always found Daco to be able to build what we need and persuaded them to produce a 430mm (17”) version.
Mark Laurence comments ‘It’s great to work closely with our clients and now manufacture the Daco PLR430 to suit the 430 (17”) web which is becoming more common with press manufacturers such as Edale and Focus Label Machinery. Acorn has now purchased 15 machines from Daco Solutions and it’s great to see that they are continuing to invest in equipment. “
