Rotary

The Arden Dies team have developed and honed our rotary specifications and knowledge over the past 25 years, driven by the UK’s largest corrugated suppliers who constantly push the boundaries for better results.

Our rotary blank accuracy is unparalleled, and our ability to produce full and part die cuts in a full range of diameters, means Arden Dies is the only die-maker in the UK that can meet every possible demand.

We have continually invested in the best and latest technology to bring our customers the accuracy, repeatability, and longevity as well as options including spares components that the industry demands.

Our customers demand the highest technical complexities for end-user automated production lines. Thanks to developments in technology, our innovations, skills, and the experience of the Arden Dies team, we can achieve complex 40 up Rotary dies, previously only seen in flatbed.

We have an unrivalled knowledge of the technicalities of Rotary die-cutting, meaning we can achieve up to five out back-to-back blanks without size differences.

Benefits at a glance

Machine types

Arden Dies manufactures the full range of diameters from 174mm to 650mm to fit an extensive variety of machinery.

Our dies can be manufactured with different mounting systems from simple bolt mount to Posi-lock hoops and Serrapid mushroom systems, offering you maximum flexibility.

Our tooling covers both dedicated die-cutters and case makers, which are built to consistently perform at maximum run speeds, ensuring an increase in overall productivity and delivering the maximum value to your business.

Stripping

Our industry-leading waste stripping systems ensure minimum waste contamination in the finished boxes. Our most complex tooling produces 2.4 million pieces of waste per hour with only a minuscule number of unwanted pieces making it to the pallet.

Thanks to our waterjet cutting machines, we can ensure the highest accuracy in rubber ejection technology is achieved, as well as the option to offer spare rubber-sets to further enhance our product value.

For Mitsubishi-style mechanical stripping, we have developed bespoke software to locate the stripping parts, and we use laser cut steel lifters to ensure that the highest stripping speeds can be achieved.

Owing to our investment in a rotary specific laser with an integrated CNC router, we have automated this process to further demonstrate our commitment to providing the highest level of accuracy and quality in our products.

Pressure gauge system

For many years, printing pressure marks have been very important to set print correctly and consistently, but in rotary die-cutting there has not been an option until now.

Our rotary pressure gauge system uses incremental points to enable the recording of the optimum pressure. The points are counted when the die-cut achieves the correct crease and cut pressure, which can then be documented so repeat orders can quickly and consistently be matched.
