Model CGM 400

Garden Grove, Ca — March 2 2010 —Bürkle North America is pleased to announce the sale of its 20th Compact Gathering Machine, the Model CGM400.The CGM400 was developed to allow semi-automated collation at a price level justifiable for small to medium card manufacturers. The system “gathers” and spot welds all card layers to be ready for lamination. The CGM 400 System design is efficient, easy to operate and provides a high return on investment replacing up to 5 hand collation tables.

+ Lowered material costs: film is delivered in web form rather than individual sheets
+ Reduced Labor
