Iranian converter installs seventh Edale press

Kalabarchasb, a label printer based in Tehran, Iran, has installed its sixth and seventh Edale flexo printing presses with the introduction of two new Alphas. 

In 1992, Kalabarchasb purchased three Edale machines from the older product range: an E180 and two E250s. As business grew, 2008 and 2009 saw the company purchase a Beta and an Alpha before purchasing a further two Alphas in 2010 – bringing its total number of Edale machines to seven. 

The Alpha is Edale’s compact flexographic printing press, capable of converting a wide variety of labels, packaging and ticketing substrates, with a short web path of 12m, compact design of 2.5sqm and quick job change through ease of access. 

The Beta is Edale’s versatile modular press, with the capacity to incorporate up to 14 print stations and three converting stations. The modular design allows for simple upgrades and a host of value-added options to be retrofitted. 

‘I first got to know of Edale at a show they were exhibiting at in Tehran,’ said managing director Maghsoud Mahboobi, who runs the business with his two sons. ‘We had never really considered looking at compact flexo presses then, but were impressed with the machines and the solutions that Edale could offer. That is when we purchased our first E180 and E250. Even now, these machines are still in production. However as technology has moved forward, so have we and this is where the introduction of the newer Edale presses came in – we find the Alpha and Beta models so powerful, fast and with 100 percent quality and accuracy capabilities.’
