Nitikshaa invests in Weigang ZJR-450E press

India-based label printer Nitikshaa Label Tech has installed a Weigang ZJR-450E, an 8-color, servo-driven in-line UV flexo press, marking the first appearance in India of the Chinese maker's E series.

The ZJR-450E uses print sleeve technology and handles substrates ranging from 12-micron unsupported packaging films to 400GSM board. Each sleeve is driven by an independent servo motor, removing gears from the printing unit and making job changeovers easier. The E model keeps the features and concepts of Weigang's G series, which has dual servo motors on each printing unit, in a design that Weigang says is lighter on the budget.

'I had seen the Weigang in-line servo-driven flexo machine performing diverse jobs and printing on a wide variety of substrates during one of the Labelexpo exhibitions. I was impressed with its capabilities and had been keen on purchasing a Weigang flexo machine ever since. The machine has been a valuable addition to our production capabilities.

‘Nalin's involvement has gone well beyond the supply of machinery. His valuable inputs, willingness to guide us, and commitment to supporting our requirements throughout the process have added significant value to our project. Having the right machinery backed by the right guidance makes a real difference, and I appreciate Mr Nalin's support in making this a satisfying experience,' said Guru Prasanth of Nitikshaa Label Tech.

'With the Weigang ZJR-450E flexo printing machine, Nitikshaa Label Tech has created new capabilities, as the printing sleeve system with motorized pressure settings on the press facilitates multi-faceted printing,' added Nalin Sharma, director of Global Graphics Machineries.
