Multitec to launch new flexo presses

Three presses will be displayed on the show floor with live demonstrations of the new Ecoflex VSi ELS and Ecosmart presses.

Ecoflex VSi ELS is a full servo version of the popular Ecoflex VSi. The machine runs on an electronic line shaft and incorporates pre-register capability. Final registration can be done through a touch screen placed on every print unit or automatically if the customer has opted for the auto-register package. The press also incorporates Zerobreak waste stripping technology after the die-cut unit to strip complex matrix shapes without any breakage at high speeds. Both Ecoflex VSi and Ecoflex VSi ELS are suited for printing on pressure sensitive labels, flexible packaging and light cartons.

The second launch will be the Ecosmart – a new machine based on the same principles as the Ecoflex VSi. It will feature open access design, servo in-feed and out-feed for registration accuracy and a short web path. The only difference is that it would not have chilled impression drums. Therefore, the Ecosmart press will be suitable for pressure sensitive labels and light cartons.

Visitors will also see the popular Ecoflex at the show floor. Multitec has sold over 70 Ecoflex presses since it first launched at Labelexpo 2008.

The company will offer its label press range with different accessories and packages that the presses can be configured with. ‘There will be something for everyone,’ said Amit Ahuja, sales director, Multitec.
