Flexo Press is Efficient
- June 28, 2010
RIUDELLOTS DE LA SELVA, SPAIN During the Open House held at Comexi Group June 1–3, the new flexo CI press, F4FLEXOEfficiency was presented as a world premiere, developed as part of an ambitious program for a new concept of central drum flexo presses, whose purpose is to provide flexo efficient machines, the company reports.
F4FLEXOEfficiency technology is said to address the needs of traditional converters, who desire efficiency improvements for short jobs. The technology is also designed to address the needs of label manufacturers who desire productivity improvements and the elimination of photo-initiators through eCOMEXI solutions which utilize EB Flexo technology in high performance flexographic printing.
The 8-color press features a new doctor blade chamber support design that reduces change-over times dramatically and increases accessibility, a design that simplifies maintenance and change-overs, and a width of 670mm/26.3 in. (up to 870mm/34.2 in.) with minimum repeat of 240mm/9.4 in. (up to a maximum repeat of 600mm/23.6 in), creating cylinder savings for a direct impact on the per square-meter cost of your product. The maximum speed is 300 mpm/984 fpm.
The F4 FLEXOEfficiency press incorporates eCOMEXI solutions, specifically in flexographic printing with Electron Beam inks, offering zero emissions and no environmental impact, the company reports.
