Polar announces Drupa line-up

Finishing equipment manufacturer Polar has announced a raft of machinery that will appear on its stand (A01, hall 2) at Drupa, including a number of worldwide debuts.

Hosting its own stand for the first time, the German manufacturer will showcase 10 systems and eight stand-alone machines.

According to Polar, the highlight will be the three new generation "N" high-speed cutters, with three models on show.

But there will be solutions for a number of sectors, with large format 7S covered, through to small (26 x 38 cm) machines.

Other new launches include the Polar 56 Net, Polar 66 Net and Polar 80 Eco cutting machines, one-knife trimmer BC 330, L-R-92-L cutting system, which has a hold-down clamp in front of the knife, and the FlexStab option for effectively jogging unstable materials.

The manufacturer will also demonstrate its label production systems, with a number of Polar's flagship LabelSystems range running live.

The company will also feature on-stand presentations each day, looking at how automation can help printers fight rising labour costs and high competitive pressures.
