We have conceived, designed, and manufactured the Modular™ 971, a vertical-configuration flexo printer from our “Flexo stack” family, expressly developed as a dedicated in-line solution exclusively for the production of feminine hygiene pads. We have structured this special flexographic printing machine to integrate perfectly into these specific industrial lines, working continuously and directly in-line with the material, precisely handling unwinding non-woven substrates intended solely for this type of product.

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 fixed print width of 100 mm and provides a variable print repeat, ranging from a minimum of 230 mm up to a maximum of 475 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 water-based, solvent-based, and UV inks. Thanks to a native gearless architecture and a motorization system featuring synchronized brushless motors, our printer supports line speeds reaching 600 meters per minute.

We have studied this solution so that the operator can manage adjustments easily and electronically. To make operations increasingly fast, we have integrated the possibility of performing a sleeve change, facilitating the procedures to change the print repeat. To support the process, we have included a hot air drying system, specifically designed to speed up the ink drying on the substrate. With the Modular™ 971, we deliver a solid and rational technology, designed to respond reliably to the rigorous needs of the feminine hygiene pad industry.
