Flexible packaging giant Uflex to display best in class technology for print and cross media solutions at drupa 2016
Indian flexible packaging giant Uflex is bracing up to showcase its best in class technology and equipment for print and cross-media solutions at drupa 2016 (hall no. 15 at stand no. 15 C 51).
Launching at Dusseldorf will be technologically advanced Extrusion Lamination Machine. The main features of this state-of-the-art lamination machine are:
- Unique design of drying hood to achieve optimum temperature;
- Separate drive for impression roller;
- Motorized three axis movement of carriage for air gap setting;
- Chamber type doctor blade for anchor coating;
- T Die with internal duckling & lip opening up to 1 mm;
- Unique design of lamination drum to maintain even temperature across the width;
- Sleeve type coating nip as an optional;
- Facility of Coating on very thin Poly film.
Also on display would be the Electronic Line Shaft (ELS) based Rotogravure Printing Machine. Some advantages compared to conventional mechanical transmissions are: better operator access around the press; reduction in noise level; less mechanical parts to be serviced and faster print register response. The Press is built with Electronic Line Shaft technology having all printing, unwind, rewind, in-feed & out-feed equipped with servo motors and drives. It perfectly integrates new generation electronics and ergonomically designed mechanical components and delivers high speed of 350-400 MPM. ELS models are equipped with flying splice turret unwind, rewind, sleeve type impression roller and trolley facilities and also has an option of doing reverse register coating at the last printing unit.
Uflex will also showcase a range of Embossing Cylinders for leather, paper and vinyl applications; very high and very low depth coating rollers from 0.5 GSM to 50 GSM applications like soap wrapper, overcoat, lacquer coating & ink saving in printing and special purpose customized coatings. Other highlights will be Hybrid Cylinder, an innovation from the Electro Mechanical Line capable of producing high definition image.
Elastomer flexo sleeves and elastomer flexo plates ensuring exact dot reproduction; no chemical constraint; seamless web printing and reproduction of HD image up to 5080 DPI would be the main attraction.
One of the key exhibits from Uflex at drupa would be the brand protection and anti-counterfeiting solutions. On display would be different types of Holograms {analog 2D/3D conventional, Dot matrix (up to 24,000 DPI); non-diffractive Litho (up to 1,20,000 DPI) and E-Beam}; Unigrams; Latentograms; wide web holographic films {soft embossing films, hard embossing films, UV embossing films, high refractive index films, windows/ demetalized and lens films}. Uflex will also showcase the Thermal Holography films and demonstrate its applications in the Print Lamination Area. Visitors will also see holographic pouches, holographic strips, holographic scratch, holographic wads, holographic shrink sleeves; labeling solutions using foils, fresnel lens and holographic effects {printed labels, tamper evident security labels, anti-counterfeit labels, bar-code labels, scratch labels, thermal transfer labels, serial number labels, holographic labels}; hot and cold stamping foils and OEKOTEX certified textile value addition products {sequins film, hot melt film, holographic glitter film} etc. on display.
