C&T Matrix becomes agent for Astin anvil covers

Die Cutting Solutions

C&T Channel Matrix (C&T) has become an agent for leading manufacturer Astin’s portfolio of anvil covers for rotary die cutters, providing customers with the best cutting quality.

The anvil cover is designed to be used as a cutting surface in the rotary die cutting process predominantly when converting corrugated material. The cover fits onto a cylinder, acting as the cutting surface. C&T offers Astin anvil covers in various diameters and widths, depending on the machine type for next day delivery in the UK.

The anvil covers are produced from an accurate formulation to maximise production efficiency. The internal fibreglass reinforcement maintains dimensional accuracy, protecting against the natural instinct of polyurethane parts to vary the dimensions with temperature changes. The fibreglass net is very light, making it easy to install, rotate and remove the covers. Anvil covers use a finger lock system which enables quick and easy installation along the cylinder. They also provide a secure fit, blanketing and protecting the cylinder, preventing any damage from the rule.

Typically, the brand and model of the rotary die cutter, as well as the original part number, will be sufficient information to determine the anvil cover required. In the event that this information is not enough, C&T’s expertise can help customers to determine the requirements using information about the diameter of the cylinder on which the anvil covers are to be installed, and the dimensions of the slot on the cylinder (width and depth).

Simon Shenton, C&T Channel Matrix, managing director, commented: ‘C&T continues to offer our customers a wide selection of accessories suitable for the entire die making and die cutting production process. This brings value and efficiency to our customers and makes C&T a one stop shop for all things die making!’
