Prati makes move into flexible packaging

Italian label finishing equipment manufacturer Prati is making a decisive move into the flexible packaging market with the launch of the Jupiter 530, which will be shown at Labelexpo Europe 2013 in September.

The Jupiter 530 is designed for processing film and unsupported material with dedicated accessories, such as the Wizarm. Wizarm, developed by Prati, permits the rewinding of film substrates on a single winder. The spacers ensure precise rewinding of the material. A flow of air exiting from micro holes eliminates any friction of the material being processed and preserves its integrity.

Wizarm also prevents air bubbles from forming among the web turns, improving the compactness and the rewound quality of the finished reels.

With the launch of the Jupiter 530, Prati said it has entered a new market, flexible packaging.

Prati’s presence at Labelexpo Europe 2013 will also include the new VEGAplus IML unit for in-mold label production.
