In the fast-paced world of manufacturing, efficiency is key. For companies in the label printing industry, this is especially true. This is why Guru Labels is excited to bring on board the SR350/550 High-Speed Slitter Inspection Rewinder. This state-of-the-art machine is not just another addition to the production line, it’s adding even greater speed and precision to their processes.
Speed and Efficiency Redefined
The SR350/550 is a cutting-edge machine designed for high-speed slitting and rewinding of labels. With its high-speed slitting capabilities, this machine can handle up to 300 metres per minute. This kind of performance ensures that Guru Labels not only meet deadlines but exceed them.
With the SR350/550, the time required to set up and complete a job has been significantly reduced. According to Guru Labels’ Managing Director, Nick Lowe, “What would typically take eight hours can now be accomplished in just three”. The implications for production schedules and labour costs are profound. By freeing up valuable hours, the team can take on more projects and increase their output without additional strain on resources.
Expanding Capacity and Capabilities
One of the standout advantages of the SR350/550 is its ability to handle much larger jobs than previous machines. This expanded capacity allows businesses to scale their operations and take on projects of two to three times the size they could before.
The ability to efficiently complete larger tasks without compromising quality opens up a world of possibilities.
Addressing Labour Challenges
In the label business, much of the cost is tied up in the finishing department. The SR350/550 addresses this challenge head-on. By automating much of the labour-intensive work, this machine reduces the physical demands on workers and cuts down on associated costs.
This shift means resources can be reallocated to other areas of the business, optimising overall operations. The long-term savings in labour costs alone make the SR350/550 an attractive investment for any forward-thinking business owner.
The Role of GM in Manufacturing Excellence
Guru Labels’ long-standing relationship with GM exemplifies the importance of reliable partnerships. Over 20 years, GM has proven itself as a provider of machines that consistently meet and exceed expectations.
The consistent performance of GM’s machines has built trust. “We’ve never been disappointed when they’ve put it in. It’s always just worked,” says Lowe. This reliability means business owners can focus on growth and innovation, knowing their equipment will support them every step of the way.
