We have conceived, designed, and manufactured the Modular™ 975, a flexo printer from our “Flexo stack” family, developed as a dedicated in-line solution specifically for the personal care and feminine hygiene product sectors. We have structured this flexographic printing machine to work continuously and directly in-line with the unwinding material, precisely handling flexible substrates such as plastic, bioplastic, and non-woven.

To ensure accurate graphic results, we have equipped the system with two electronically synchronized printing units, which allow for two-color designs. 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 260 mm up to a maximum of 520 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 for the primary use of water-based inks (Flexo H2O) and compatible with solvent-based inks. In order to guarantee constant and accurate ink control, we have integrated our automatic Work & Wash™ feeding and cleaning system paired with a precise electronic viscometer. Thanks to this solid structural configuration, our printer reaches an operating speed of 300 meters per minute.

The precision control of the entire system is entrusted to a gearless motorization setup featuring synchronized brushless motors. We have studied this solution so that the operator can manage axis advancement and adjustments electronically, while also relying on a linear camera for continuous print phase inspection. To make operations increasingly fast, we have integrated the possibility of performing a sleeve change assisted by an advanced RFID technology recognition system, facilitating the automatic procedures to change the print repeat. Furthermore, we have equipped the system with our own patent-pending invention: the innovative NIC™ printing plate cleaning system, which removes dirt while the machine is in operation. This system consists of three synergistic groups: a cleaning head on each printing unit that injects and aspirates water on the cliché, a pump management box, and a dedicated water aspirator. To support the process, we have included a hot air drying system equipped with electrical resistances, specifically designed to speed up the ink drying on the substrate. With the Modular™ 975, we deliver a solid and rational technology, designed to respond reliably to industrial needs.
