1-color water-based multi-lane Flexo printing with viscosity control
Large-scale efficiency: the ideal printing unit for simultaneous marking on multiple lanes of tubular film (garbage bags).
Modular 948 is a flexographic printing machine designed to maximize productivity in extrusion and packaging lines for industrial and waste bags. This unit stands out for its ability to handle simultaneous printing on 4 independent lanes, allowing four side-by-side reels or tubular films to be marked in a single pass.
In the demonstration video, the machine is engaged in printing black film for garbage bags. Despite the dark and challenging substrate, Modular 948 ensures sharp and legible marking using water-based inks.
To ensure flawless results throughout the entire production cycle, the machine is equipped with an automatic viscometer. This device continuously monitors ink composition, correcting any variations in density. This guarantees consistent print quality, preventing shade or coverage variations caused by evaporation of the liquid component of the ink.
Strengths of Modular 948
- Multi-Lane configuration: Special setup for printing on 4 parallel lanes, multiplying production output.
- Certified quality (viscometer): Automatic viscosity control keeps the ink stable, ensuring that definition and color density remain identical from the first to the last meter.
- Eco-friendly: Designed for exclusive or predominant use of water-based inks, ideal for high-volume consumer products.
- Tubular film handling: Perfect for in-line printing on blown film extrusion lines or bag sealing lines.
- Operational simplicity: Intuitive controls, robust structure, and minimized maintenance requirements.
Key applications
- Waste bags: Printing of warnings, logos, or capacity indications (liters) on black or colored bags.
- Industrial bags: Batch and code marking on tubular films.
- Multi-Lane converting: Any application requiring simultaneous handling of multiple webs.
