At Labelexpo Americas, Prati is explained to visitors how its digital finishing can make a difference. The company highlighted DIGIFASTone, a digital finishing line for printed reels, which allows converters to produce value-added labels at high speed and with high precision.
Versatile and with a quick setup, DIGIFASTone is also functional for short runs of promotional labels in the food and beverage, wine and spirits, cosmetics, personal and home care.
The machine was displayed in a configuration consisting of an unwinder with automatic tension and end-of-reel control, web guide, digital screen unit, and lamination unit. Then the laser diecutting processes, a 100% vision system for inline quality control, cutting and rewinding follow.
"Converters asked us for a 'non-stop solution': completely digital, both in finishing and diecutting," explains Matteo Bertoni, Prati area manager and DIGIFAST20000 product leader. "No special tools are required to run the machine. A quick setup is ensured thanks to the laser diecutting unit, which offers the enormous advantage of not imposing limits on the size and shape of the labels. In addition, the DIGIFASTone is configurable with a double shaft turret rewinder, in combination with the buffer ensuring a non-stop finishing. With the turret rewinder, the operator no longer worries about the rewinding cycle. His work is limited to loading the cores and collecting the finished reels."
DIGIFASTone allows converters to carry out varnishing, diecutting, counting, cutting and rewinding, processing a wide variety of materials: self- adhesive labels, clear-on-clear (including AD-MDO and UPM PP30), wrap-around labels, shrink sleeves, plastic films, unsupported paper and plastic materials, in a range of thicknesses from 12 to 350 microns.
Built by Prati with the new FUTURA open-platform technology and in line with the needs of Industry 4.0, DIGIFASTone generates a small amount of waste material, reduces setup times and guarantees a register accuracy of 0.15 mm, even reaching 100 m/min in the configuration with laser diecutting.
Prati also took part in the “Digital Embellishment Trail,” organized at Labelexpo to explore the full range of digital decoration options, both standalone and inline, with live demonstrations, sample packs and experts on-site to discuss how digital embellishment can transform a converting business.
