Barcom installs Rotoflex Security Series module

The Security Series module, introduced earlier this year by Rotoflex, is integrated with a Rotoflex VSI 330 slitter rewinder, high-end Nikka inspection system and multilane inkjet printing system combining end-to-end servo technology. This offers control and automation, as well as advanced bi-directional inspection capability for pharmaceutical and other labels with strict compliance regulations.

Established in 2004, Barcom Industries is an established Mark Andy customer and runs narrow web UV flexo presses out of its current 32,000 sq ft facility. Barcom is set for expansion with a new 10,000 sq ft plant in Cuttack, Orissa which will house two Mark Andy presses. The plant is expected to be fully operational by March 2017.  

Flexo Image Graphics, the local Rotoflex distributor in India, led the sale and installation along with Manohar Dhugga, Rotoflex director of engineering and service.

Barcom’s Prasanna Sahu said the bi-directional inspection capability of the machine sets it apart from other options as it ensures zero chance for human error. ‘Usually, the inspection system detects the faulty label and then waits for the operator to replace it, without re-inspecting the replaced label. With the bi-directional system, the replaced label is inspected again to ensure there are no faulty labels. This powerful machine, which is equipped with a 4K camera from Nikka, also enables QR code and barcode verification.

‘We can assure 100 percent defect-free labels, not only to pharmaceutical companies, but also to the liquor, FMCG and food industries,’ said Sahu.
