BRITISH DESIGNED & ENGINEEREDAutomated packaging systems since 1985

Automated packaging systems, engineered in Britain.

Evirocor Machines designs, engineers and builds automated packaging systems, including the Frontier behind on-site packaging production, drawing on four decades of experience.

Design. Engineering. Manufacturing.

We take a machine from first concept to a working system on the factory floor, and support it for the long term.

Design

Concept design and detailed machine design, shaped around real production needs and the materials being cut.

Engineering

Mechanical, motion and control engineering, from drive systems and gearboxes to machine control software.

Manufacturing

Machines built, assembled and tested to industrial standards, ready for years of dependable production.

Spares and service

Servicing, maintenance and fast delivery of service components and parts, for the life of the machine.

Four decades of packaging systems engineering.

Evirocor was founded by the owner of U-Pack, a British company that has designed and built its own automated packaging systems since 1985, to take its machines and systems to new markets in Asia. U-Pack machines have reached customers in more than 60 countries.

As part of that work, the U-Pack machines have been developed further for Asia's highly competitive box industry. New features include a more modular design, which makes upgrading simpler and shipping easier.

That depth of design, engineering and manufacturing experience is built into every Evirocor machine.

From the Shear-line to the Frontier: more than 40 years of solving die-cutting problems.

    Worldwide demand

    Production increases as orders for the Shear-line arrive from around the world.

  4. 1989
    Automated reciprocal action

    An automated reciprocal action model joins the Shear-line family.

  5. 1992
    A patented world first

    Development and patent of the world's first reciprocal sinusoidal action gearbox.

  6. 1994
    The first Frontier

    The first-generation Frontier automatic die-cutter is installed.

Developments that shaped the Frontier

  • The T-Series: a fully automatic die-cutter with a polypropylene soft anvil sleeve, later improved into the Frontier.
  • A quick sleeve change mechanism, designed to minimise downtime.
  • The world's first wide-format, fixed-head, full-colour, high-speed inkjet printer for inline use with the Frontier.
