Machine Configurations
Unwind & Rewind Unit
- Double Shaft Design: Equipped with double shafts driven by dual motors, facilitating easier operation and faster roll replacement.
- Automatic Roll End Alarm: The system automatically alarms when the web reaches preset limits or the roll is finished, allowing operators to quickly change rolls.
- Dancer Closed Loop Tension Control: Roll diameter and adhesive position are automatically detected to maintain stable web tension during printing.
- Stable Rewinding Control: Closed loop taper tension control combined with nip rollers maintains consistent web tension and ensures smooth roll surface quality.
Printing Unit
- Servo Driven Plate Cylinder: Plate cylinders are installed with shaftless pneumatic chuck systems and driven by independent servo motors.
- Ink Metering Roller System: Each printing unit is equipped with an ink metering roller to ensure stable ink flow and prevent ink splashing during high-speed operation.
- Teflon Coated Components: Side shields and ink fountains are coated with Teflon to reduce ink adhesion and simplify cleaning.
- Compensation Roller Structure: Impression cylinder works together with guide rollers to minimize variation of web length during vertical movement.
- Chamber Doctor Blade System: The doctor blade can move left-right, up-down and forward-backward, with independently driven motor and adjustable frequency.
- Ink Supply Trolley: Equipped with service trolley and diaphragm pump for efficient ink feeding and ink circulation.
Register System
- Siemens Integrated Register System: Advanced register control ensures accurate color registration during high-speed printing.
- Independent Operator Interface: Each printing unit is equipped with its own control screen for real-time monitoring of printing registration.
- Fast Digital Correction: Operators can quickly modify digital parameters to correct printing registration errors.
- Register Memory Function: The system stores previous register positions to allow fast positioning and quick job changeovers.
- Pre-Register Function: Enables automatic pre-registration of new printing plates to reduce setup time.
Drying System
- High Efficiency Drying: Designed for high drying efficiency with low solvent retention to ensure stable printing quality.
- Intelligent Temperature Control: Automatic continuous temperature control with hot air recirculation minimizes energy consumption.
- Multiple Heating Options: Supports electric heating, steam heating and heat transfer oil heating to meet different production requirements.
- Water-Based Ink Compatibility: Drying structure fully supports modern water-based printing processes used in flexible packaging.
Cooling System
- Aluminum Alloy Cooling Roller: Low inertia aluminum alloy rollers provide efficient forced water circulation cooling.
- Self-Aligning Bearing Support: Both ends of the cooling roller are supported by double-row self-aligning roller bearings for stable rotation.
- Automatic Water Recirculation: Overflow cooling water is automatically recycled to improve cooling efficiency.
- Large Cooling Surface: Extended contact angle and cooling area provide higher cooling efficiency during high-speed printing.
