Features
1.5 m roll diameter
- Largest roll capacity in the industry at 1.5 m providing an increased output of up to 7% per annum
Metallizing
- Largest coating window in the industry which along with the 700 mm drum improves collection efficiency by 16%. The High Deposition (HD) source has an improved design for higher speed of operation for those metallization jobs that require a high deposition rate of up to 4.0 OD.
Reduced cost of ownership
- The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of the MASTER K5 is reduced by up to 25% compared to competitor metallizers in the market.
Intuitive and easy to operate
- New operator console with controls all in one place. More intuitive HMI screen and software interface make the machine easy to operate. BOBST iMA software powered by AI to automate and control the deposition process.
Improved winding
- In the winding zone, direct drives on the winders eliminates potential loss through indirect drive. The Shaft Vacuum Seals are highly resistant to friction, they are also longer lasting, easy to replace and are an off-the shelf part.
Automatic Sequential Control
- Unique in the industry, the Automatic Sequential Control (ASC) system speeds up start-up of the machine with minimum operator involvement required.
Faster venting and pump downs
- Faster venting and pump down times result in a reduced production cycle which increases the number of rolls per day.
