Thacker Highlights Jumbo Harper Diecut Sections for Large Format Corrugated Machinery

Thacker Industrial Service Company (TISCO), a leading manufacturer specializing in corrugated machinery, highlights its Jumbo TISCO/Harper Diecut Sections, offered through its Harper Machinery division. Designed for large-format corrugated machinery and production environments, the retrofit rotary diecutting solution adds diecutting capability to an existing machine line or replaces a worn-out diecut section, helping converters modernize their capabilities and extend the useful life of their existing equipment investment.

Designed to integrate into equipment such as a Flexo Folder Gluer or Rotary Diecutter, each TISCO/Harper Diecut Section is customized to match the customer’s existing machinery and production requirements. This approach allows converters to expand their capabilities or replace aging equipment without replacing the entire machine. Each diecut section is engineered to match the mechanical operating speed of the machine it is integrated with, adding diecutting capability without reducing machine speed. For example, a section integrated with a machine operating at 300 kicks per minute will match that speed.

TISCO works with each customer to engineer the retrofit for proper mechanical and operational integration with the existing machine line. A typical installation includes engineering, machine integration, track modifications where necessary, installation, startup, and operator training, supporting the transition from retrofit planning to operation.

The TISCO/Harper Diecut Section is available in Mini, Mid-Range, and Jumbo configurations, with the Jumbo configuration designed to meet large-format converting requirements. By combining a customized retrofit design with installation and startup support, TISCO provides corrugated converters with a practical way to add diecutting capability while preserving their existing machine investment.

Sections are also customized to closely match the size specifications of the original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) machine. For Flexo Folder Gluers, this includes mini machines measuring 24″ x 68″, mid-range machines such as 38″ x 82″, large machines such as 50″ x 135″, and jumbo machines typically measuring 65″ x 165″ or 86″ x 192″. TISCO can also build diecut sections for Rotary Diecutters, which typically measure 66″ x 115″. Each retrofit closely matches the existing machine’s section size while matching its mechanical operating speed.
