We conceived, designed, and built the Modular™ 1004, a flexo printer from the ‘Flexo stack’ family, as a complete off-line flexographic system for single-color printing on PVC film for medical bags. 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 exclusively by UV LED inks, we have created a printer suited for use in the biomedical field, ensuring a stable and secure printing process that aligns with strict industrial standards.

From a technical standpoint, we have configured this flexographic printer to handle a maximum printing width of 300 mm, combined with a print repeat between 385 mm and 760 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 flexo printer to operate in roll-to-roll mode with a continuous web flow from an integrated unwinder to a rewinder, achieving a printing speed of 120 meters per minute using only UV inks.

To ensure accurate movement control, we have equipped the machine with a drive system powered by two synchronized brushless motors (motor-driven), which move the print roller and the anilox roller. To speed up ink curing on the material and support high line speeds, we have installed a UV LED lamp curing system. 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.
