New large-format Vulcan with a 1.4 x 1.7 sheet size, is taking shape in Highcon’s labs
Highcon’s next-generation system, code-named Vulcan, will enter mainstream corrugated production and address a painful gap in current solutions. Currently under development in our labs, Vulcan offers a maximum sheet size of 1.4 x 1.7 meters (55” x 66”) and can support boards up to 5mm thick, including microflute, B-, C-, and EB-flutes. The system boasts a maximum throughput of 3,000 full-size sheets per hour (up to 7000 sqm/hr or 75,000 sqft/hr), with a job changeover taking only 5-10 minutes.
Vulcan is set to become an indispensable tool for corrugated industry leaders worldwide. Five “Foundation Customers”, including Thimm (Germany), The BoxMaker (USA), UDS (Poland), Grupak (Mexico) and Schumacher Packaging (Germany), have already placed deposits on Vulcan systems for an early delivery slot. Schumacher Packaging signed an MOU to purchase 5-10 units of Vulcan from Highcon over 5 years.
