Production flow insights
|
▼ |
- The plate cylinder is engraved via an electromechanical process, or in laser. - The depth of cells is adapted to the target color density and the related quantity of ink needed. - The engraving precision varies from 500 dpi (conventional) to 5080 dpi (laser). - For extended runs, the plate cylinder is chrome-plated. |
|
|
▼ |
- The make-ready operations are very simple and quickly realized. - Being a direct printing process, the construction of a printing unit comprises only two key elements: a gravure cylinder and an impression cylinder. - The inking cassette is smoothly introduced in the unit thanks to a trolley or a simple pallet truck. - Automatic pre-settings. |
|
|
▼ |
- The ink flow is controlled via a pneumatically assisted ink roller. - An optional pre-inking roller helps fine-tune the flow depending on the ink type or the production speed. - The printing quality is ensured by the easily adjustable doctor blade (offline) which will remove any excessive ink on the gravure cylinder. - The number of printing units is adapted to the required special colors and to the added value steps (coating, holograms, metallic inks…). |
|
|
▼ |
- Air temperature control and optimized air/solvent ratio. - Choice between thermal oil, steam or electrical heater. - New generation nozzles for boosted efficiency up to 500 m/mn. - UV curing available for added value steps |
|
|
▼ |
- Many added value operations can be proceeded, such as foils and holograms in one pass. - Flexo or offset units can be added either for varnishes or variable design details. - The reverse printing is possible in gravure as an option. |
|
 CHANGEOVER |
- Easy and quick change of gravure cylinder. - Sleeve impression cylinder for a fast changeover (ESA). - Quick offline job change (10 minutes). - Doctor blade replacement without pulling the cassette out. - One-touch gravure cylinder pre-washing system. |
Available configurations
|
ROLL TO ROLL The press includes a rewinder right after the printing units. The converting stage will be proceeded offline. For more flexibility, the line can include a rotary die-cutter and a by-pass to transfer the web to the rewinder.
