Nilpeter displayed gravure and extended gamut for the first time at Labelexpo India. From October 29 – November 1, Nilpeter showcased the Indian-built FB-3300S flexo press, its top-seller, in New Delhi.
The 8-color servo flexo press with short web path features a gravure unit built at the Nilpeter India factory in Chennai.
The gravure unit printed a white as the first down on a metallic beer label. The press was also equipped with Corona treater, web cleaner, chill drums on all units and a 100% print defect inspection system. The servo function covers all operations from tension-setting of roll to supplying power to the printing units and enables the press to operate at a speed of 225 meters a minute.
“Gravure has come into the Indian market in a big way in the latest six month,” says Manish Kapoor, sales manager. “Converters have started using gravure for metallic decoration, special coatings and whites.”
Nilpeter sold its first press in 2009 and received it in 2010. The company assembles ten presses each year at its Chennai plant and has over 30 FB-3300 presses installed in India.
“In the last two years, Nilpeter has been the most successful global press manufacturer in India," adds Kapoor. ”The footprint we have made is very decent, and we are confident that we will make more installations than our competitors this year.”
Nilpeter also sold four presses at the show.
