Inkjet label press manufacturer Durst is now offering a high-productivity, industrial-scale, “jumbo roll” unwind/rewind option for its Tau 330 UV inkjet digital label press.
Durst’s fully automated, servo-driven, external “jumbo roll” unwind/rewind units accommodate rolls up to three feet in diameter, 14" wide and more than 13,000 linear feet in length. For easy and fast handling of large heavy rolls, the system features a built-in roll handler for motorized loading and unloading. Also, a built-in splice table makes roll changes easy and fast. The system’s servo drive feeds material in both directions.
This high-productivity configuration can be employed with the standard Tau 330, or with the Tau’s Low Migration System for printing on foils and thin films. It handles a range of materials as thick as 20-pt. paperboard. Overall, users can look forward to up to two hours of continuous uninterrupted printing, fewer changeovers and less downtime, Durst reports. The “jumbo roll” option offers a significant advantage to label and package printers who want to take on long runs and enjoy the advantages of digital imaging.
“The Tau 330’s running speed of 157 feet per minute, its extended run times with our new ‘jumbo’ option, and its robust build quality provide all the proof anyone might need that digital is not just for short runs anymore,” says Christopher Howard, VP of strategic business development for Durst US. “For label and specialty packaging printers who have been completing their longer runs on more traditional equipment, the Tau 330 with our ‘jumbo’ option represents a very significant leap forward.”
