13. ISO-BAR BENEFITS
• Waste created by the glue machine will be reduced by up to 1% or more of total corrugator production.
• Can put up to 40% less moisture into the sheet, resulting in higher corrugator speeds on all grades.
• Pin numbers and ECT's will be higher.
• Save fiber by using lighter weight liners.
• Built-In wash system saves cleanup time.

14. ISO-BAR BENEFITS
• Caliper on all grades will increase a minimum of ~ inches.
• Warp can be dramatically reduced.
• Print quality and plate life are both improved due to a smoother, washboard free surface.
• Die cutting is improved as a result of more consistent caliper.

15. ISO-BAR Improved Product Quality
Converting Improvements:
• Fewer Jams
• Reduced Scrap
• Less Downtime
• Better Print Quality
• Higher ECT
• Higher Pin Adhesion Values
