Successful Installation of Fengchi GW-1700LP in Australia: A Customer Case Study
Fengchi has completed the successful installation and commissioning of its first litho laminating machine production line in Australia — a milestone that demonstrates how targeted customer service, field testing and high-quality engineering combine to meet demanding production needs. The Australian client chose the GW-1700LP high-speed litho laminator plus a full-servo flip-flop stacker, replacing an older competitor machine to gain speed, reliability and automation.

How the Australian Project Began (Customer Journey)
The client first found Fengchi through a Google search for litho laminating machines and contacted Fengchi via the official website. After initial discussions they visited Fengchi’s booth at Shanghai SinoFoldingCarton 2025, where they saw a live demonstration of the GW series. Impressed, they toured Fengchi’s factory to review production and quality control procedures. After detailed technical meetings and specification reviews, the customer selected the GW-1700LP and opted for Fengchi’s flip-flop stacker to ensure full compatibility and higher throughput.
Key Benefits & Technical Specs of the GW-1700LP High-Speed Litho Laminator
Why the GW-1700LP was chosen:
- Stable speed: 16,000 sheets/hour (165 m/min); Maximum 22,000 sheets/hour (175 m/min).
- Quick job switching: 2–5 minutes to change jobs — reduces downtime and increases efficiency.
- Low maintenance: Dual bearings plus automatic lubrication system for extended uptime.
- Full servo control: Improved accuracy and stability; reduces defects and allows one-key operation.
- Material compatibility: Coated paper, cardboard, greyboard, whiteboard, kraft paper, duplex paper, corrugated board (including multi-flute), and more.
- Designed for high volume: Ideal for packaging manufacturers making corrugated packaging, POS displays and laminated cardboard goods.
These capabilities make the GW-1700LP well suited to factories facing rapid business growth and stricter output targets.
Flip-Flop Stacker: Complementary Automation to Cut Labour & Boost Yield
Full Servo Flip-Flop Stacker features:
- Stable high speed: Up to 15,000 sheets/hour for typical stocks; ~9,000 sheets/hour for thick 5-layer corrugated board.
- Reliability: Full servo control minimizes malfunctions and factory downtime.
- Low noise operation: Smooth, quiet production suitable for factory environments.
- Compatibility: Designed to integrate with litho laminators and various flute laminators for a complete production line.
Pairing the GW-1700LP with Fengchi’s flip-flop stacker replaced a competitor’s paper turner and created a more seamless, automated workflow.
Installation, Testing & Customer Acceptance
Fengchi’s sales manager and after-sales engineer traveled to Australia to install and commission the production line. Following on-site testing and customer acceptance procedures, the equipment passed final checks and was successfully handed over. The client praised Fengchi’s professionalism, responsiveness and the engineering team’s willingness to adapt the line to local safety and regulatory specifications.
Who Should Consider the GW-1700LP Production Line?
This solution is ideal for:
- Corrugated packaging producers scaling up capacity.
- Manufacturers needing faster job changeovers and higher automation.
- Companies requiring broad material compatibility (coated board, corrugated, duplex, kraft, etc.).
- Factories aiming to reduce labor costs via reliable stacking and automated downstream handling.
