In recent years, the global packaging industry has undergone a profound transformation, shaped by shifting consumer behavior, the rise of e-commerce, and the increasing complexity of global logistics. As more products are shipped directly to consumers — from small electronics to large appliances — packaging manufacturers face growing pressure to produce solutions that are stronger, larger, and more adaptable than ever before. Corrugated packaging has rapidly become the material of choice, offering a rare blend of durability, versatility, and sustainability. Within this context, demand is soaring for oversized corrugated boxes capable of safely transporting bulky or heavy goods across vast supply chains.
This trend has introduced a new challenge to the converting industry: the need to process large-format, high-strength corrugated board with both speed and precision. Traditional flatbed die-cutters, designed for standard formats or lighter substrates, often fall short when faced with double-wall and triple-wall board. Whether producing appliance cartons, industrial containers, or export packaging, converters must now deliver big boxes — and do so with tight tolerances, minimal waste, and maximum uptime. To meet this challenge, DGM has engineered a machine from the ground up: the Technocut 1650 S, a high-performance flatbed die-cutter that sets a new benchmark in large-format corrugated production.
What makes the Technocut 1650 S remarkable is not just its scale, but its ability to handle large sheets and thick substrates with the same agility and accuracy expected from smaller machines. Built for converters operating in high-volume environments, this machine can process corrugated board up to 10 mm thick, with sheet sizes up to 1650 x 1200 mm, and output speeds of up to 6,000 sheets per hour. It is engineered for uninterrupted, precision-driven performance across long production runs — combining structural robustness with cutting-edge automation.
The sheet handling process begins with a highly adaptable feeder system. Depending on the job requirements, operators can choose between a bottom belt feeder, lead edge feeder, or a top feeder with suction head for high piles. Anti-marking suction nozzles help protect printed surfaces, while motorized side guides and a servo-driven feed roller ensure smooth, accurate alignment. A double-sheet detection system offers additional protection against feeding errors, particularly when running high-value jobs or printed material.
Once the sheet reaches the register table, the machine takes full control. Six variable-speed belts transport the board while side and front lays align it with micrometric precision. The entire system is designed for flexibility — accommodating various board types, flute profiles, and complex box layouts with minimal setup time.
At the heart of the Technocut 1650 S is its die-cutting press, which delivers up to 400 tons of pressure. Here, power meets finesse. Operators can easily manage cutting depth, pressure, and safety features through a central HMI touchscreen, ensuring consistent results across shifts and operators. The quick-change die-cutting chase, central positioning system, and pneumatic locking all contribute to fast, accurate changeovers and reduced downtime — key advantages in competitive environments where flexibility is as important as volume.
A dedicated stripping section follows the cutting press, handling waste extraction with speed and accuracy. The system includes a centering mechanism and cut-out extractor device, with touchscreen controls to streamline adjustments. Built-in safety features protect both operators and equipment, ensuring smooth and safe performance even under continuous operation.
Finished sheets are transferred to the delivery section, where a motorized curtain system enables non-stop production. Lateral and front joggers help form clean, square stacks, while the stacker supports heights up to 1400 mm, reducing the need for frequent unloading. Operators can control and fine-tune the delivery process from a secondary HMI at the end of the line, which adds to the machine’s user-friendly design.
Key Performance Highlights:
• Max. sheet size: 1650 x 1200 mm
• Max. board thickness: up to 10 mm (including triple-wall)
• Max. speed: 6,000 sheets per hour
• Cutting pressure: 400 tons
• Max. die-cutting size: 1660 x 1180 mm
• Gripper margin: as low as 6 mm, minimal waste with full stripping
• Stack height at delivery: up to 1400 mm (pallet included)
• Quick-change die chase and pneumatic locking for reduced setup time
• HMI touchscreens at key stations (feeding, die-cutting, delivery)
• Remote diagnostics and automatic lubrication for reduced downtime
Beyond raw output, what truly sets the Technocut 1650 S apart is its focus on efficiency and durability. Every element of the machine — from the high-strength alloy gripper bars to the overload protection systems and automated lubrication — is designed to extend lifespan, reduce maintenance, and keep operations running smoothly. Remote diagnostics offer peace of mind and rapid support, even from off-site technicians.
In a competitive industry where packaging formats are becoming larger, substrates more complex, and production schedules tighter, the Technocut 1650 S stands out as a decisive solution. It offers converters the scale they need, the precision they expect, and the automation they demand — all in one reliable platform.
If your business is ready to expand into large-format corrugated packaging, or you’re looking to replace aging die-cutting systems with something faster and more capable, the Technocut 1650 S delivers performance without compromise. It is not just keeping pace with the packaging industry — it is setting the pace.
