We have conceived, designed, and built the Modular™ 1001, a flexo printer belonging to our “Flexo stack” family, engineered as a complete off-line flexographic system for 1-color large-format printing on PVC. We developed this flexographic printing machine to meet the precise requirements of the pharmaceutical, medical, and biomedical sectors, working on continuous webs of materials such as plastic and bioplastic. Powered by traditional UV inks, we have created a printer suited for use in the biomedical field, ensuring a reliable printing process that aligns with strict industry standards.

From a technical standpoint, we have configured this flexographic printer to handle a maximum printing width of 800 mm, combined with a print repeat between 500 mm and 1000 mm. To maintain a constant and convenient production, we have integrated an inking system consisting of a ceramic anilox and a closed chamber doctor blade system. This configuration allows our flexographic printing machine to operate in roll-to-roll mode at a printing speed of 48 meters per minute, ensuring steady ink management throughout the runs.

To ensure accurate movement control, the machine is equipped with a drive system powered by synchronized brushless motors (motor-driven), operating in unison. To speed up ink drying on the material and support line speeds, we have installed a hot air drying system with resistors. Furthermore, to simplify the operator’s tasks and make format changes rapid and convenient, we have integrated a sleeve change system to easily vary the repeat and printing pitch.
