Rotocontrol and Longford partner for end-to-end booklet label production
Rotocontrol and Longford International have partnered to offer an end-to-end ECL and booklet label manufacturing system, which sees Rotocontrol technology paired with Longford’s OS700X triple motor surge feeder.
With an operating speed up to 65m/min (213ft/min), the Rotocontrol BL series is a modular system designed for producing booklet labels, coupon labels and label-on-label processing with various sizes and formats. It is designed with larger idler rollers, and a straight and extremely short web path between the units to reduce waste. The machine also features precise register control for pre-printed webs, and advanced servo technology for optimal control.
A wide variety of optional modules are available including hot-melt glue system, register lamination, label applicator, flexo printing, screen printing, cold foil unit, bowed booklet option, inkjet unit and inspection systems.
Available in a variety of widths and easily integrated with verification equipment such as barcode readers or vision systems, the Longford OS700X triple motor surge feeder has a production speed of up to 35,000 pieces per hour with a pinpoint accuracy of +/-0.5mm. Recent enhancements to the OS700X have made changeover quick and easy.
Combining RSP 100 percent pharmaceutical label inspection technology or its FastChange four-spindle turret rewinder with the OS700X allows end-to-end production, inspection and finishing of booklet labels to be achieved, Rotocontrol said.
Marco Aengenvoort, Rotocontrol managing director, said: ‘We are a proven booklet solution partner, with successful installations that also include the FastChange four-spindle turret rewinder. Partnering with Longford International has already proved advantageous in combining industry-leading technologies and market strength.’
Hugo Vanchaze, area sales manager at Longford Europe, added: ‘Our industry-leading OS700X triple motor surge feeder combined with the advanced design and technology built into the Rotocontrol booklet machine provides a powerful synergy for the production of extended content labels. Many of our customers have already expressed an interest in this solution, and we look forward to a successful partnership with Rotocontrol, and helping narrow web label printers be specialists with their booklet label applications.’
