82 | L&L ROTOCONTROL received 18 machine orders at Labelexpo LABELS&LABELING market. The machine was and still is one of the workhorses of our production facility and we ordered a further DTD250 in the summer of 2011.’ Mark Laurence, sales manager at Daco Solutions, said: ‘Ronen has been a long-standing customer of ours and has grown his business successfully over the last eight years utilizing Daco equipment. I can remember the initial conversation with him where he was worried about technical support with being so far away; it is something we laugh about now: he reminds me that he has never bought one spare part from us or had the need for a service call in eight years.’ DCM Usimeca displayed a non-stop sleeve seaming machine and a quality control machine, alongside a Serval narrow web slitter rewinder and a sleeve perforating and sheeting machine, SleeveCut. Delta Industrial ran live demonstrations of an integrated web converting and packaging line. The system showed a variety of processes such as island placement, tight tolerance die-cutting, vision inspection and heat seal pouching. The Delta Mod-Tech can incorporate many additional features, allowing the user to create a custom manufacturing and/or packaging system. Emis showed its Flexor line of inspection slitters, rewinders and die-cutting machines. Flexor STACRW4-12 is a fully servo four spindle turret rewinder with a width of 410mm. Flexor 440IS is a 440mm wide inspection machine equipped with the latest Nikka D1 camera system. Flexor 380 2C+ is a 380mm wide machine equipped with a double die-cutting unit and a re-register module to die cut pre-printed labelstock. Flexor Lexjet 350 is an industrial inkjet machine for printing low volume jobs or variable data, equipped with the latest Konica Minolta KM1024 heads and GEW UV curing. Emmendinger Maschinenbau (EMB) showed its high speed punching and embossing machine. The company said the machine is being used by customers in the packaging, dairy and beverage industries. It punches small shapes out of unprinted and printed aluminum, paper and plastic foils directly from reels, which may then be used as sealing lids or labels. Applications include sealing lids for yoghurt and pro-biotic drinks and beer bottle neck labels. The machine brings capabilities for embossing, perforating, pin-perforating and doming, and quick changeovers between tools enable easy handling and increased production. The company has developed a shredder, which can be optionally added to the machine, for crushing waste foil into small pieces, allowing for easier suction and collection of the waste. Errepi demonstrated its automatic cores cutter machine, Vittoria, suitable for plastic or cardboard cores of various diameters and lengths; and its Leonardo 350mm automatic non-stop turret rewinder. The company launched a flexo printing unit, Flexoturbo, which was shown on a 2-color modular machine. ETI Converting Equipment introduced its emulsion acrylic Cohesio technology, which brings label printers the flexibility of emulsion and solvent acrylic adhesives, as well as hot melt and UV hot melt adhesives, in one Cohesio multifunctional inline coating and printing system. The self-computerized multifunctional printing and coating equipment provides users with the benefits and cost savings of converting pressure sensitive material and/or printing pressure sensitive labels all in one pass. The company also showed the new Miniliner, an ultra-thin clear PET or BOPP liner of 12 microns which is said to substantially reduce waste and increase productivity. The Miniliner can be die-cut at speeds up to 150 meters a minute and is adaptable to ETI`s Cohesio technologies. ETI promoted the linerless capabilities of its Cohesio printing and converting equipment that can reach speeds of 150m/min. Linerless technology brings converters direct monetary savings, allows for simple front and back printing, and is a more sustainable option for pressure sensitive label decoration since more labels fit per roll, reducing transportation emissions, and there is no liner waste to be disposed of. Graficon Maschinenbau showed the new Graficon RPS 220 booklet and processing machine, demonstrating the inline production of booklet labels. A new feature on the machine is the merging of three different pre-printed materials in register. Also on display was the sheeting machine, Graficon BSM 340, for processing from roll to sheet, with new options and extension possibilities such as intermediate cut, waste shift and stacking options. Grafisk Maskinfabrik showed its new Digital Converting Line 500 (DC500), which can handle web widths from 100mm up to 515mm. The die-cut station is fitted with optional GapMaster by Kocher+Beck. The DC500 comes with UV flexo-varnish station with registration and super-gloss varnish capabilities. It is also fitted with the optional semi-rotary hot foil station with GapMaster that will be demonstrating high quality gold- and silver-printing during the show. GM will also be running various jobs on its smaller digital converters, the DC330, fitted with Zenna laser die-cutter, and the DC330-mini. The entire range of GM digital converters as well as other finishing machinery – re-/unwinders, core cutters, roll lifters/turners, sheeters and waste management machines – were available for testing at the show. Grafotronic launched its 440HI slitting machine with a 100 percent inspection system from Nikka. The 440HI is a highspeed fully servo-driven machine with new features such as an
