If your converting line creates edge trim, the by-product is an opportunity to save time and money. BloApCo can design and build a complete system to effectively manage and, where feasible, recycle edge trim scrap. Materials we commonly handle include Aluminum, Nonwovens, Flexible Packaging and Tissue.
BloApCo’s scrap-handling systems increase production up-time and allow your converting machinery to run at full speed. An efficient BloApCo-designed air-trim system uses less air and horsepower to move cut scrap material to the collection area, cutting your energy costs.

- Waste is removed automatically with low-maintenance equipment.
A bespoke system with a quick ROI and low TCO.
Stand-Alone Bagclone System
Continuously remove trim waste and matrix directly from the printing press
With the BloApCo Bagclone system, trim waste and matrix are continuously removed directly from the printing press, shredded by inline cutters and air-conveyed to a collection area.
- Ideal for pressure-sensitive tag and label applications, foil, laminates, paper and plastics up to 508mm thickness.
- The system is engineered to handle high web speed with high air capacity (up to 1,000 cfm), high air velocity and up to 3,600 rpm.
- With 1 HP of cutting power and progressive shear action, NEOR knives cut all materials, ranging from very thin foils to thick, sticky materials.
- No need to stop the press to remove the waste roll.
