We have conceived, designed, and manufactured the Modular™ 956, a two-color flexo printer from our “Flexo stack” family, developed as a dedicated in-line solution specifically for the extrusion converting industrial sector. We have structured this flexographic printing machine to integrate directly in-line with the material, precisely handling the continuous customization and coding of sliding flexible substrates, with particular suitability for plastic and bioplastic.

To ensure accurate graphic results, we have equipped the system with two electronically synchronized flexographic units, which allow for two-color designs in perfect register. From a production specifications standpoint, our flexographic printer handles a variable print width ranging from a minimum of 500 mm up to a limit of 1200 mm and provides an extended print repeat, from 600 mm up to 1500 mm. To keep the production process efficient and convenient, we have adopted a closed-chamber inking system based on a ceramic anilox roller Ultralox™, optimized to operate with total efficiency using liquid solvent-based inks. In order to guarantee constant rheological control, we have integrated a dedicated recirculation unit into the system that ensures homogeneity and constant viscosity of the inks throughout the entire production cycle, minimizing start-up waste. Thanks to this solid structural configuration, our printer reaches an operating speed of 140 meters per minute.

The motion control of the entire system is entrusted to a motorization setup featuring synchronized brushless motors. We have studied this solution so that the operator can manage the workflow ensuring total operational stability. To make operations increasingly fast, we have integrated the possibility of performing a sleeve change, facilitating the physical procedures to change the print repeat. To support the in-line process, we have included a hot air drying module equipped with electrical resistances, dimensioned to guarantee a rapid evaporation of the volatile solvent components without compromising the stability of the substrate in any way. With the Modular™ 956, we deliver a solid and rational technology, designed to respond reliably to industrial needs.
