Rock-Tenn Co's Kimball, Tenn., folding carton plant installs a new Woodward jogger aerator, model P4658, replacing one of two Woodward machines at the facility. The new model can handle sheet sizes up to 46 by 58 inches and load weights up to 5,000 pounds. Rock-Tenn traded in the 16-year-old model it replaced.

Woodward technicians will completely rebuild the machine, which has already been purchased by another company. Rock-Tenn says it anticipates trading in its second older jogger aerator in a few months, also replacing it with a new Woodward. Woodward is based in East Rutherford, N.J. Berlin-based Colorpack installs a six-color Rapida 142 from KBA with two coater towers, intermediate drying and extended delivery. According to Colorpack, the investment will help the company meet growing market demand and secure a competitive edge. The Rapida 142 includes automatic non-stop and logistics systems at the feeder and delivery, fully automatic plate changing, ink unit temperature control, and Inkline ink supplies. Brazil's Litografia Bandeirantes in Sao Paulo also installs a KBA Rapida 105 with inline coating. The company chose the press for its six-color plus coating capabilities and expects it will open new market niches.
