Durst will launch solutions including its Tau 330 high speed UV inkjet label press as well as Tau Low Migration UV inks from SunJet.
The Tau 330 press will be showcased with inline digital laser finishing incorporating laser die-cutting technology from Spartanics, with a 1000W laser and automatic job changeover for multiple jobs in a single run. UV coating and lamination can be added for a complete finishing process.
Durst will also introduce Tau Low Migration UV inks from SunJet. In combination with a specially designed curing system, the inks can achieve migration limits of <10ppb, said Durst.
Along with the Durst Tau 330, these inks will expand suitable applications for unsupported foils to items such as blister packs and yogurt lids, said Durst. Tau 330 users can use standard Tau UV inkjet inks for all industrial applications.
To cover a broader range of applications, the Tau 330 is now also suitable for applications using non-PS materials. A second Tau 330 press will be demonstrated at the Durst booth with built-in chill roller for printing on unsupported films and foils.
A Nikka high-resolution video inspection system to detect defects during printing will also be on display.
To increase the Tau 330’s modularity, it can be installed with external unwinder and rewinder units as well as other finishing devices. A connection box provides all related signals to synchronise with external devices.
The Tau 330 has a maximum print width of 330mm and prints at up to 48m/min for an industry-leading capacity of 950sqm/hr.
Its standard colour configuration CMYK can be complemented with optional white and two optional process colours, orange and violet, essential for label applications that require accurate pantone colour matching.
