GIDUE NEW PRODUCTS AT DRUPA -  Hall 10 Stand C 40

UNIPRO

February 2004 - The world’s first 730mm wide, in-line, mid-web packaging press from GIDUE will see its official European launch at DRUPA 2004. The UNIPRO™ will be demonstrated as a full packaging press using print cylinder sleeve technology. The UNIPROprints and convert virtually any kind of substrate from PE BOPP, PET to paper, aluminium and laminates and up to 450gsm carton board without changing configuration for total flexibility in packaging. The printing head featured on the UNIPRO™ is an enhanced version of the unique GIDUE Flower™ flexographic printing head with two new added design concepts, the UNI-Lock™ for non-reversible printing and the Spider™ wash cycle for full automatic print unit wash up. The integrated Spider™ cycle reduces press down time with wash-up performed off-line without stress to the operator.

The UNI-Lock™ is optimized for larger format printing cylinders and the high performance demands of mid-web printing. The unique “non-reversible” design of the UNI-Lock™ clamps the print cylinder within the press frames where it becomes an integral part of the print unit. Any press vibrations are totally absorbed within the UNI-Lock™ print head. The UNI-Lock™ concept permits the use of both solid cylinders or printing sleeves. Sleeves of any diameter can be inserted into the Spider™ head and are immediately print ready. Plate pressure and register and pre-register control are pre-set for reduced set-up and consistent print quality irrespective of printing skills.

E-COMBAT

The latest version of the E-Combat shaftless press with new IML-EDL delivery system for in-mould labels will also feature. The press design uses servo-driven controls for all press functions and is available in web widths of 280mm (11”) 370mm (14.5”) 430mm (17”) and 530 mm (21”).  With the benefit of electronic drives the E-Combat design enables the customer to print and convert substrates ranging from 15 micron film to 350 grams per square metre carton board without changing the mechanical configuration of the press. The IML-EDL delivery system is equipped with a batch counting and final long “buffer” delivery table where the stacked piles of in-mould labels printed face up can be easily collected.  .

NEW STANDARDS FOR FLEXO

Details of the new Standards for Flexo Auto-Certification program developed by GIDUE in cooperation with and certified by the University of Wales Printing & Coating, Swansea will be available and the company anticipates showing visitors an array of new and exciting converting developments currently in the pipeline. 

HSS HOLOGRAM DEPOSITION SYSTEM

GIDUE will demonstrate its HHS hologram deposition system that is designed to run with almost all makes of printing and converting machines.  The HHS offers the converter an opportunity to up-grade existing machinery with a system for adding both foils and holograms to cartons, labels and packaging stocks.  The unit is designed for simple integration onto both rotary and intermittent printing systems. A fully servo-driven concept allows for speeds up to 100 m/min. The incorporation of servomotors in combination with spring free, lightweight and strong mechanical construction (use of carbon fibre), provides versatility and at the same time reduces maintenance.

Set up time for the HHS is greatly reduced by a job and program memory.  This memory enables simple and accurate reproduction of a printing job without any manual adjustment.  On each individual HHS application head, multiple lines of holograms and foils can be positioned with each having variable graphic configuration.  The foil saving mechanism on the HHS enables optimum use of foil, significantly reducing foil waste. The Basic Unit consists of the HHS base frame with a control panel and console plus installation adaptors specific for each press model.  The Cassette System includes an unwind and rewind unit, one foil transport and a dancer cassette along with a power gain rack for the console.  The Cassette Systems are available in widths of 40/60/100/150 mm allowing the appropriate width to be used for each application, providing further material savings.
