Edale enhances FL-3 press with new options and features

UK-based press manufacturer Edale has made a number of enhancements to its FL-3 label and packaging printing press to improve its productivity.

Additional features and options now available with the FL-3 include: dual axis servo drives, to allow for an increased substrate range offering more flexibility to the customer for a wider range of applications; additional web width, with a 430mm version now available alongside the standard 350mm web width; a moveable rail system, which allows for increased flexibility and for modules, such as laminating, turn bar, screen, cold foiling and delam/relam, to be easily manoeuvred along the press into varying positions for a variety of applications; and integrated ducting, which is now integrated within the footprint of the machine.

A further advancement to the FL-3 is a reduction in height to give the operator easier access to the print stations.

Edale will be running demonstrations of the updated flexo press at its UK showrooms in Hampshire throughout 2013, as well as showing it at Labelexpo Europe 2013, taking place September 24-27 in Brussels, Belgium.

The press manufacturer is also planning an Open House event in March at a customer’s premises in Germany.

Chris Chappel, Edale sales manager, said: ‘The FL-3 is an extremely versatile and useable flexo press and now that we have a machine based in the Hampshire showroom, we can carry out trials and press demonstrations quickly and easily.

‘The press will be coming out to Labelexpo Europe but we have an open door policy at Edale for those who would like to view it sooner.’
