A.G. Stacker Expands eSERIES with Two New Bundle Breakers Ahead of Corrugated Week 2026

Expanding the eSERIES Portfolio

A.G. Stacker has announced the upcoming debut of two new additions to its patented bundle breaker product line at Corrugated Week 2026, taking place September 28–30 in Fort Worth, Texas. The new systems, the eBREAK-eXTENDER™ and the eBREAK-XL™, are designed to expand the capabilities of the company's all-electric eSERIES™, offering converters greater flexibility across a wider range of applications.

The eBREAK-eXTENDER™ provides bundle breaking capabilities up to 65 inches, while the new 100-inch eBREAK-XL™ is engineered for wider sheet sizes. Both systems maintain the flexibility to process straight, nested, and offset bundle patterns within the same bundle log. This development addresses a critical need in the corrugated industry for end-of-line machinery that can handle complex orders without sacrificing throughput or increasing waste.

Digital Twin Technology and Collaborative Solutions

Beyond the physical machinery, A.G. Stacker is heavily emphasizing its digital capabilities. At Booth #507, visitors will be able to interact with the company's DUO™ Digital Twin technology. This allows users to virtually operate the eBREAK™ and eXT™ Front End System through HMI-driven demonstrations. The eXT™ digital twin incorporates digital shadow technology, which connects machine operation with real-time production data, a crucial feature for training, troubleshooting, and gaining production insights.

Furthermore, A.G. Stacker will showcase its collaborative digital platforms, GO AG™ and SIMCORRA™. These tools are designed to simplify equipment support, provide access to technical resources, and allow customers to simulate factory layouts and evaluate production flow before any physical equipment is installed. This approach to pre-installation simulation represents a significant step forward in reducing risk and optimizing factory space for converters.

Industry Leadership and Future Outlook

In addition to the equipment and software demonstrations, Joe Wunder, President of A.G. Stacker, will be a featured speaker at the event. He will join other industry leaders to discuss how material handling strategies can improve throughput, labor efficiency, safety, and profitability in rotary die cutting operations. This highlights the company's commitment not just to manufacturing equipment, but to advancing the operational strategies of the corrugated sector.

The integration of fully electric systems without pits, pneumatics, or hydraulics, combined with advanced digital twin technology, positions A.G. Stacker at the forefront of the digital transformation in corrugated manufacturing. As the industry moves towards more automated and data-driven processes, solutions that bridge the gap between physical machinery and digital simulation will become increasingly vital.

A.G. Stacker's dual focus on robust, flexible machinery and advanced digital simulation tools demonstrates a clear understanding of the modern converter's needs. How quickly will the rest of the industry adopt digital twin technology as a standard for pre-installation planning?
