MASTER M6 - Flexo press

Exceptional flexibility

The master m6 handles all types of substrates used for the production of labels, flexible packaging or folding carton.

• Reel-to-reel, reel-to-sheet, and reel-to-converting delivery 
• Multi-process, product enhancing and inline finishing applications
• Lamination technologies - solventless, solvent-based, water-based
• Cast & cure
• Cold foil
• Multiple printing processes available: flexo, silk screen, gravure.
   

Non-stop productivity

• Very short set-up time and waste
• One minute on-the-fly job changeovers
• Maximum press uptime. Very fast time-to-market
• Excellence: special solutions for automatic exchange of printing cylinders and of die-cutting stations without stopping the press
• Digiflexo for full digital registration and printing pressure adjustment and digigap for digitally automated die-cutting pressure control. They provide the shortest digital set-up time, minimal waste and consistent quality during production
• Smart digimount for highly automated, very accurate and fast plate mounting.

UV track solution for food packaging

Exclusive total traceability system for food packaging applications. The UV emission is monitored while the press is running with certification of the whole printing process. This opens new opportunities for UV printed food packaging production. Compared to solvent and water-based inks, UV inks achieve higher print quality and color consistency combined with the absence of vocs (volatile organic compounds), improving ink stability and sustainability.

Easy to run, clean and safe

• Very short set-up time and waste
• Digital automation ensuring productivity and process repeatability
• Very easy to run for less experienced operators
• Minimum and tool-free operator intervention
• Touch panel on each print unit and main touch screen HMI
• Production data accessible from remote devices
• Remote internet services.

Outstanding quality

• Very accurate web-tension control from unwinder to rewinder
• Over-dimensioned chilled drums for positive web transportation on the most critical substrates
• Automatic pre-register setting
• ARC automatic print-to-cylinder register control
• Infinite flower flexo head for controlling print density changes at speed variations, monitoring ink temperature
• Snowball lite and bambi technologies for high-speed waste matrix rewinding with difficult materials and/or label shapes, available only if a die-cut is present on the press.

Suitable for printing on oneBARRIER FibreCycle

• Mono-material high barrier paper-based flexible packaging
• Suitable for food applications
• High fiber content to support recyclability
• An easy solution for a label converter to step into flexible packaging
