Steinemann Technology at PRINTPACK INDIA 2011
Focus on high-end laminating applications for packagings
Metallised polyester films increase attention at the POS / The LOTUS 102 SF
gets the most out of its cost advantage at high throughputs in folding-box pro-
duction / New feeder permits much shorter setup times and higher productivity
At PRINTPACK INDIA 2011 (New Delhi, 16 – 21 January), Steinemann
Technology AG, St. Gallen/Switzerland, will be presenting its LOTUS 102
SF laminating machine for high-end laminating applications in packaging
production on its 170 m 2 exhibition stand in Hall 7C (Stand B3). The fo-
cus will be on demonstrating the laminating of metallised polyester films
on folding boxes, a process that has the effect of significantly enhancing
the value of products at the POS. The demand for creative and visually
high-quality packagings is steadily increasing, including in the growth
market of India. Customers are looking for affordable solutions in this
field. With the LOTUS 102 SF laminating machine for solvent-free poly-
urethane adhesive, Steinemann Technology has a time-proven, continu-
ously improved system that offers the ideal answer to these demands.
Thanks to technologies 'made by Steinemann', the LOTUS 102 SF deliv-
ers high laminating quality and productivity at favourable investment
and operating costs.
Depending on the substrate and the laminating film used, the LOTUS 102 SF
applies a mere 1.8 to 3.5 g polyurethane adhesive per square metre. A double
sheet-cleaning brush with an additional, heatable, chromium-plated calender
makes for smooth, dirt-free substrate surfaces. Thanks to the 'cold' laminating
process, the sheets lie flat throughout the entire production process. The films
are cut precisely and without tension by the Steinemann Hot Knife. Moreover,
the system's power consumption is low, since the LOTUS 102 SF does not

need a drier. Customers around the world confirm direct cost savings in the
region of 20 to 30%, giving them a decisive competitive advantage.
In the course of the years, Steinemann Technology has steadily extended the
field of application of this laminating machine, which has a throughout capacity
of up to 11,000 sheets per hour. At PRINTPACK INDIA, the company will be
presenting a new feeder for the LOTUS 102 SF, featuring the suction head of
the KBA Rapida 105. This feeder once again significantly reduces the setup
times, while simultaneously increasing production reliability – an effective re-
sponse to the exacting demands of packaging production.
"India is one of the key markets for Steinemann Technology. By exhibiting at
PRINTPACK INDIA 2011, we are investing in further growth in this upward-
moving, highly dynamic market, where Steinemann machines are traditionally
the equipment of choice for leading printers and finishers. High-end laminating
and offline varnishing machines continue to have major potential, especially in
the packaging segment. PRINTPACK INDIA offers Steinemann the ideal plat-
form for further strengthening its position on the market," says Albert Fässler,
Area Sales Manager at Steinemann Technology AG. In addition to existing
and prospective customers from India, the company is also expecting to see
visitors from other countries.
