Spanish converter installs Omet X-Flex

Spanish label converter Argraf Group has installed a 10-color Omet X-Flex 430 press fitted with three rotary die-cutting units. Argraf Group supplies the food and beverage market with a particular interest in the wine sector. 

‘The investment was driven by rapid growth within the company’s adhesive wine label sector,’ explained Martin Torroba, general manager of Argraf Group, which has turned to this half-hybrid machine technology where units of different print techniques are combined to give a wide range of production capabilities. ‘We have configured [the press] precisely to meet our actual needs, with screen, coldfoil and plastic coating, but no offset.’ 

Omet’s X-Flex 430 can also be used for small runs of containers and polyethylene and propylene products, without the use of an adhesive. It has an upper rail system for mounting the three coldfoil stamping units, turner bars for reverse printing and units for rotary screen, relief/embossing and printing on the adhesive,. The machine is equipped with the company’s Vision automatic register system, which provides pre-register and automatic longitudinal and transversal adjustment without intervention by the operator. 

‘This X-Flex 430 is highly customized,’ said Enric Pont of Omet Iberica, ‘and allows the Argraf Group to maintain the high quality and added value levels that today’s advanced technology offers.’
