Bulgarian company chooses Euroflex One Press

KPG Europe has installed a Euroflex One Press at Bulgaria based Excellpack, producer of high quality printed polyamide food casings, serving both its domestic market and exporting to eastern and southern European countries. 

Excellpack conducted extensive print quality tests on presses from other major suppliers before ordering the Euroflex. Kristo Karamanov, managing director, commented, ‘The Euroflex not only consistently produced the best print quality, but the standard of engineering ensured the production reliability essential for our business. 

‘Additionally, press stability at high operating speeds was also an important factor to us. The Euroflex performs with virtually zero vibration, enabling us to achieve excellent print registration, irrespective of print design and speeds.’

Based on one or two temperature controlled 1000mm or 1800mm central impression drums  and available in two standard web widths of 270mm and 400mm, the press can be specified for non-stop production, assuring minimal down-time and waste. The Euroflex can operate at high speeds, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is available with UV, IR or hot air drying systems and with open or closed ink chambers and can be used with cationic, solvent or water based inks.

With up to 16 colors, plus flexo varnish, dual-pass technology further enhances the color capacity of Euroflex and provides a cost effective option for printing full color on both sides of the web.

The KPG scraper system, a feature designed for the printed casings market, enables 360 degree printing for all-round graphic designs.

The Euroflex is said to be suitable for printing a range of products for different markets. Food casings, labels, polybags, ABL/PBL barrier laminates and films can all be printed on the same press.
