Etirama launches Flexowine UV Modular at open house

Brazilian press manufacturer Etirama hosted an open house weekend in December at its facility in Sorocaba, in the state of Sao Paulo, to launch its Flexowine UV Modular press. 

The event, dubbed 'Orange Weekend' by the company, was attended by around 90 people representing Brazilian converters, while a number of industry suppliers also participated with table-top stands. 

The Flexowine UV Modular is evolved from the company’s successful Flexowine press, which has been installed at hundreds of converters around the world. Seven of the new presses were sold on the first day of the event. 

The Flexowine UV Modular is a short web, 7-color press with UV curing stations between each print unit. Claimed to offer short set-up times, it comes with automatic tension control and options include hot and cold stamping and lamination.   

Etirama used the event to present the Ewald Daefferner Award, named after a leading figure in the Brazilian printing industry who passed away last year. Competed by companies which utilize Etirama’s central drum press, winners included Etima, Automação and Le Print. 

During the event, a number of industry suppliers, including Flint Group, Stork and Braga, held technical training sessions for visitors.
