AboutAlliance Machine Systems International, LLC
Alliance Delivers Productivity
“For more than four decades, Alliance has set the standard for maximizing finishing machine speeds and productivity. Our expertise is in tailoring our equipment solutions to your specific product mix and plantlayout requirements.
“Alliance application engineers have been helping box makers advance finishing equipment speeds and productivity, contributing to the growth of the corrugated industry. Our team of development engineers has created innovative and productive solutions to handle a wide variety of box production needs, from small e-commerce containers to jumbo-sized specialty boxes. Our customers look to us to help them maximize profits, and we take that responsibility seriously.
“Alliance offers high-speed upstream feeding and downstream handling systems that range from semi-automatic, operator assisted machines to fully automatic equipment that frees operators for other duties. Whether making 800 boxes per minute on high-speed flexo foldergluer or maximizing the die cut area of a rotary die cutter,our products include fully automated robotic load formers, palletizers, stackers, prefeeders, pallet handlers, specialtyfolder gluers, and more.
“I’m pleased to announce that last fall, Alliance released our latest solution for digital printer prefeeding. Based on our reliable and proven FeedMAX platform, the digital print prefeeder feeds the board into the digital printer on the long dimension and is capable of either inverting or not inverting the board. Additionally, two lanes of board can be fed simultaneously into the digital printer, effectively doubling its throughput.
“Alliance is committed to continuing to find ways to improve the efficiency of our machines, thereby increasing box plant throughput. We plan to introduce more process improving solutions in 2021.
“We continue to maintain our focus on productivity-enhancing technical innovations, such as bottom sheet systems that use vision technology to scan random-size dunnage and automatically compute the number of sheets required to ensure exact placement of each sheet and obtain the coverage needed. Our patented TEDD sheet deceleration technology in the UltraSTACK RDC stacker/palletizer permits running at full speed without a shingle, allowing exact bundle counts without a feed interrupt. Our J&L Mark5 XT jumbo series specialty folder gluer can fold and glue boxes up to 210 inches wide, while our 2-piece box option allows box makers to produce jumbo-size boxes using standard-size rotary die cutters. This system can also fold and glue multi-caliper boxes, economically placing the board thickness and strength where needed.
“With more than 15,000 installations around the world, our team of engineers offers technical e x pertise across the U.S., Latin America, Europe, and beyond—backed by a robust customer care staff who provide dedicated installation, training, service, parts, and other support.
“Alliance’s mission is to build trust and create value for our customers, seek new ways to innovate, employ positive communication, and operate with integrity.”
