Efficient matrix waste handling for smooth label production

In most label production environments, matrix and edge trim waste are unavoidable by-products of printing and converting processes. Managing this waste efficiently is essential to keep production running without interruptions.

Across the globe, countless label presses and converting machines are supported by Lundberg Tech solutions, built to handle the challenges of self-adhesive label waste. Our systems are tailored to help you maintain clean, streamlined operations with reliable matrix waste removal.

Improving OEE

The label industry is increasingly shaped by demands for higher efficiency, sustainability, and cost control. With pressure growing to boost output and reduce downtime, improving Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is more important than ever. At Lundberg Tech, we know that automation is a key enabler in meeting these challenges.

By automating matrix and edge trim waste handling, manufacturers can eliminate the need for manual waste removal and reduce production stops. Inline systems ensure continuous waste extraction during production, preventing the unplanned downtime that occurs when rolls need to be changed or removed. The result is a smoother workflow, less operator strain, and improved uptime.

Reducing the amount of virgin material wasted 

Automation also supports better material utilization by reducing the amount of virgin material wasted during press restarts.

As the label industry continues to move toward smart, connected production lines, automation will play a vital role in remaining competitive.

Lundberg Tech’s expertise in automated waste handling / waste management ensures that label manufacturers can meet growing market demands while optimizing OEE, achieving sustainable growth, and reducing operational costs.

The future lies in smarter, cleaner, and more efficient production environments.

Help define the customer’s optimal waste process 

With more than 6,000 systems and 10,000 Granulators installed across a wide range of industries all over the world puts Lundberg Tech in a position to help customers define their optimal waste process based on scalable modular components.

We keep production moving towards a sustainable future by capturing, cutting, conveying, collecting, and compacting waste in a clean sustainable process.

A complete Lundberg Tech waste handling system for label matrix handling can significantly increase production throughput. It also supports sustainability efforts by reducing virgin material waste, lowering CO₂ emissions, eliminating unnecessary disposal of paper cores, and reducing the number of heavy lifts for press operators.

Waste management for your process

Lundberg Tech designs, manufactures, and installs waste extraction systems for matrix, edge trim, and die-cut waste from printing, converting, and finishing machines.

Our systems capture waste at the source using vacuum, cut it quietly into confetti-sized pieces, and transport it by air directly to a collection point—where it’s compacted for easy disposal or recycling.

Whether you’re looking to handle label matrix or edge trim waste, Lundberg Tech has a solution.
