Its new FB-2500 has six UV-flexo units and a printing width of up to 273 mm. The print length is 609,6 mm. Equipment includes two rotary die- cutting units, inter-deck UV-curing modules from GEW, a TecScan video web inspection system and a sheeter for roll-to-sheet production of promotional labels and window stickers.
FB-Line presses are a completely redesigned range of presses available in three web widths. They are described as durable, high performance machines that can operate for lengthy periods at speeds up to 228 m/min.. High quality printing on filmic or paper pressure-sensitive substrates is aided by helical gears on the printing cylinders. Slide-out print stations and Drop-In cassettes allow for fast make-readies, aided by Nilpeter’s Instant Registry Response (IRR) system for adjusting registration without affecting web tension.
Label Solutions’ latest press augments existing UV-flexo presses, a semi-rotary letterpress machine and facilities for hot foil stamping and thermal printing. ‘We looked at several presses with a similar web width from different suppliers, but none approached the speed and quality of printing, combined with ease of set-up, that we found with the FB-2500’, said Leslie Burden, managing director. ‘We guarantee delivery within agreed time scales; so fast turn-arounds are essential to our business. The new press will allow us to greatly expand our capacity to handle a wide mix of labelling requirements, from small to large-volume orders.
