processing of product
TXR-800 Main Unit is supplied with our Dust Extrac�on system
for cleaner product and healthier working environment
30-second cycle strips a stack of sheets up to 60mm thick
With over 4,000 pins, the machine can be configured to blank
almost all exis�ng job layouts
2. Pins are distributed by the TXR
automa�cally between the upper
and lower pin beds, crea�ng a job
pa:ern. The pins in the lower bed
(right) support the blanks during
stripping, and pins in the upper bed
push down on the waste.
3. The blanking cycle takes 30 seconds (leB),
and over 200 sheets of cartonboard can
be processed in each cycle - even more
for thinner materials. The TXR can strip
paper, cartonboard, polypropylene and
many other plas�cs.
Concept of TXR operation
ANC Machinery has offices in the United Kingdom and Tokyo and is the world exclusive representa*ve for Kawahara outside of Japan
Origins of the TXR
From an idea conceived in the
early 1990s, Kawahara Packaging
created its first blanking machine
in order to solve delays at hand
stripping aBer jobs had been die-
cut. The machine became known
as the TXR Blank Separator.
Other print companies in Japan became
interested in the idea and so Kawahara
established TXR manufacturing and
service opera�ons to fulfil demand from
the domes�c market.
The early models (most of which are s�ll
running today) used a hydraulic system.
The modern TXR works through a
combina�on of pneuma�cs, electronics,
and a powerful Mitsubishi motor at its
heart.
ANC Machinery now serves as the export
arm for Kawahara sales worldwide and
the TXR has users in every con�nent. It
con�nues to win customers for its ease of
use, and the tremendous increases in
produc�vity it can provide.
A unique pin bed system using 4,000 pins for all types of sheet
layout. Simple, economic tooling that can be used again and again
1. During make-ready, the machine
automa�cally configures itself to the
job pa:ern using a die-cut sheet as a
basis for a simple template (leB).
Templates can be prepared off-line at
any �me. Make-ready takes less than
15 minutes, and the templates are kept
for repeat jobs.
