Berkeley Machinery has launched a new sleeving machine that will allow label converters to bring finishing in-house. The Autoflex Excel AS-300 is capable of sleeving at 300m/min on rolls of a maximum 600mm width, putting it in direct competition with top-end technology, but at a more competitive price.
The AS-300 is aimed at narrow web converters looking to move into flexible packaging. Specification includes an electro-pneumatic glue nozzle dispensing head fitted with a control unit that automatically adjusts glue flow to the web speed, which itself is controlled by a stepless motor. The process head, with rubber and steel impression cylinder, allows the forming material to be produced flat to improve quality of the finished rolls, which are rewound with two cantilever rollers that have a skewing effect to eliminate unstable build up of the seam.
