Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes a patented offset sleeve technology used in a variable offset/flexo interchangeable lightweight sleeve press. This technology allows for quick and easy sleeve changes in less than one minute, enhancing efficiency and reducing material damage during job transitions.
Specifications: The press operates at speeds up to 350 m/min for roll-to-roll and 250 m/min for roll-to-sheets. It supports maximum substrate widths of 520 mm and 680 mm, with corresponding maximum printing widths of 500 mm and 660 mm. The substrates include films like BOPP, PET, PVC, heat shrinkable materials, self-adhesive paper, aluminum, and various paper weights.
Technology and Features: The Universal system employs interchangeable light offset sleeves, initially used in flexo printing, now adapted for offset printing. This system reduces pre-printing costs due to the economical nature of offset plates compared to flexo plates or rotogravure rollers. The press supports a wide variety of substrates and offers online combinations with flexographic, rotogravure, screen printing units, and more.
Technical Specifications: The system allows for variable formats between 400 and 800 mm, die-cutting formats, and blade cutting between 175 and 711 mm. It supports a maximum unwinding diameter of 1500 mm and shaft diameters of 70 mm, 76 mm, and 150 mm. The press is suitable for labels, flexible packaging, folding cartons, business forms, and security documents.
Applications and Markets: The technology is applicable in various markets, including food, pharmacy, cosmetics, and non-alcoholic beverages. It allows for numerous configurations and combinations in printing, processes, and finishings, enhancing its adaptability and utility across different sectors.
