Arun Tenzing, director, Pioneer Arunachalam Packaging, said: ‘Our relationship with FIG dates back to the year 2009 when we first purchased a Mark Andy label press from them. Apart from their range of advanced and versatile machines, we are quite happy and satisfied with the way their after-sales technical support team, led by Mr M Suresh, helps us precisely know the technical know-hows as well as the productive operation of the machines they supply.’ 

Dharmaraj N, general manager, Arunachalam Packaging, added: ‘As we have been in cordial partnership with FIG for years, we eventually went for the second machine from them—Rhyguan Plus-420 converting and finishing machine. This Rhyguan machine we brought home from FIG is highly cost effective, user friendly, and its advanced features eventually help us indulge in high-precision slitting to produce outstanding labels. 

Rhyguan Plus-420 converting and finishing machine is designed for servo driven semi-rotary die-cutting unit with its own independent re-registration and tension control to speed up job-changes. It is upgraded with standard slitting, cross perforation, and various other rewinding options or cut sheeting with a conveyor belt and batch separation.  

‘We are really thrilled to run Rhyguan Plus-420, which is indeed a “smart” finishing system with advanced features like inspection (100 percent offline),’ said Dharmaraj N.  

He added: ‘So far, we are quite satisfied with the core converting and finishing competency of the Rhyguan Plus-420, which has built up our confidence and competency to please our “quality conscious” customers to their utmost level of satisfaction. In addition, we are equally thrilled to experience the high-precision Rhyguan Smart slitting rewinding along with Luster 7K 100 percent fault detection inspection system.’
