Proven & Reliable Technology

¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ has built and installed the Vanguard Singlefacer over 350 times, satisfying all market demands. This pressure roll Singlefacer is a proven high-speed runner used in the most productive plants in many integrated companies. It includes a pressure chamber blower system, and large accessible windows and doors for optimal performance and easy maintenance. Automation improvements have elevated the reliability, performance and capabilities of this industry standard Singlefacer, known by a new name – Vanguard SFG.

Maximum Productivity & Durability

¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥â€™ Vanguard SFG Singlefacer has hydraulically-loaded corrugating rolls and pressure roll to maintain high-speed stability with minimal operator adjustment. The driven pressure roll eliminates shear stress during the green bond formation for maximum board strength. United Container, one of the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ legendary brands, pioneered the positive pressure fingerless technology to eliminate vacuum systems that are sensitive to debris.

Infusion Medium Pre-Conditioning

The ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥â€™ Vanguard SFG Singlefacer uses our patented Infusion technology that conditions the medium by penetrating the medium’s fibers with moisture and heat like no other system. This allows higher run speeds and improves board quality. In addition, it is effective for all flute profiles and paper grades. Additional preconditioning and water mixing systems are included in the Vanguard SFG model.

Unique Split Frame Design

¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥â€™ Vanguard SFG Singlefacer has a unique split frame design that includes a roll-out glue section for more efficient maintenance. The design also allows unrestricted access to the machine’s interior and incorporates a corrugated roll cart and module for more effective flute changes.

Vertical stack rolls

¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥â€™ Vanguard SFG Singlefacer has hydraulically-loaded corrugating rolls and a pressure roll to maintain high-speed stability with minimal operator adjustment. The corrugating and pressure roll loading pressures are automatically controlled depending on the paper grades run.  The driven pressure roll eliminates stress during the green bond formation for maximum board strength. The large diameter pressure roll provides reliable operation and low maintenance costs compared to belted singlefacers.

Positive Pressure chamber

United Container, one of the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ legendary brands, pioneered the positive pressure fingerless technology to eliminate vacuum systems that are sensitive to debris. No unplanned stops for cleaning of the corrugating rolls or unpredictable delamination.
¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥â€™ Vanguard SFG Singlefacer has a unique split frame design that includes a roll-out glue section for more efficient maintenance. The design also allows unrestricted access to the machine’s interior and incorporates a corrugated roll cart and module for more effective flute changes.

Automatic or Quick roll change

The corrugating rolls are housed in a cassette that can be changed through two systems. The ARS (Automatic Roll Change System) provides a hands-off cassette change that is safe, easy and quick. The QRS (Quick Roll Change System) requires some operator involvement but no manual tools during the simple, efficient roll change procedure.

Medium pre-conditioning and glue application

The Vanguard SFG is unmatched in conditioning medium, thanks to its patented Infusionâ„¢ system that penetrates paper fibers with heat and moisture for better board quality and faster run speeds. A separate capstan roll ensures precise tension, while optional steam control handles tough mediums. Its advanced glue system adjusts levels automatically for cleaner, more reliable operation, and now includes improved glue pans, a pre-rinse package, and optional automatic glue dam tracking.
