Polar 155 XT Undertakes Heavy Duty at Houston’s Falcon Packaging

Falcon Packaging & Converting in Houston, TX, took delivery of a Polar 155 XT high-speed, programmable guillotine cutter with extended backgauge and Polar stack lift in December. As a result, said company president David Powell, “We not only have improved our efficiency and productivity dramatically, but our confidence in the products we manufacture is higher.”

The new cutter replaces a 30-year-old Polar machine and joins an existing five-year-old Polar 155 XT in Falcon’s busy cutting department, where the company converts all types, calipers and sizes of coated and uncoated chipboard. The new cutter’s 2m extended backgauge now enables the company to cut stock up to 78-inch long, while the ergonomic design and easy programmability of the new cutter are popular with Falcon’s operators. Falcon also produces custom sheets, corrugated cartons, and plastic bags and films for a nationwide customer base.

Established in 2003, Falcon Packaging & Converting boasts a long relationship with Heidelberg, based on expectations of quality, performance and service.
