Baumgarten orders second Rotocontrol finishing machine

Brazilian label converter Baumgarten has ordered its second RSC inspection slitter rewinder from Rotocontrol. The order was place after an on-site visit from Michael Aengenvoort, business development manager for Rotocontrol and Marcelo Zandomenico of MZ Maquinas, Rotocontrol’s agent for Brazil.

The RSC machine has a 440mm web width and dual rewind with capacity up to 700mm and tension control from 100 percent servo Bosch Rexroth Drives, enabling Baumgarten to produce shrink sleeves at high-speed and efficiently. Also ordered was the Vacuum Splice Table option, which delivers operator efficiency by allowing automatic placement of mill-splice/flags, matrix/missing labels and vision detected defects right on the vertical inspection plate/waste rewind for reworking. The machine is equipped with a Nikka Research inspection system.

‘We are extremely pleased with the production results from our first Rotocontrol RSC slitter rewinder,’ commented Ronaldo Baumgarten Jr, chairman of Baumgarten. ‘Rotocontrol delivered a high quality technology finishing machine and follow on support that was promised. We look forward to further production benefits from our second Rotocontrol finishing machine investment.’

Baumgarten, one of the largest label converters in Latin America, specializes in the production including cut and stack, self-adhesive, in-mold and shrink sleeve labels; in addition to tags, printed fabric labels and thermoformed trays for the food industry.

The company offers a wide array of printing technologies, including rotogravure, offset, screen printing, letterpress, flexography, hot stamping, cold foil, embossing and digital printing.
