Italy : Lombardi Converting Machinery showcased its latest developments in packaging production, including an updated version of its mid web Invicta 630 flexo press intended for flexible packaging at an event it hosted recently.
A Lombardi Synchroline 430 flexo press was also shown, configured with overlapping system for booklet labels up to four layers.
The Invicta 630 is an eight-colour, full servo mid web flexo press for flexible packaging. The updated press features a new design and way of working.
The Invicta is available with web widths of 450-750mm and can run at up to 200m/min. It is a sleeve-based flexo press and is 100% gearless. “Sleeve change is entirely automatic and conducted at the push of a button. This causes the sleeve cylinder to move outwards and the housing to open, giving the operator access to simply remove the sleeve and replace it. Other features include auto pre-register and register. Print quality is automatically controlled by Grafikontrol’s Quality Control system.
In the MEA, Lombardi is represented by Vinsak.
Lombardi had presented the Invicta 630 at the Labelexpo Europe 2017, and has promised to introduce a ‘completely new project’ in time for Labelexpo Europe 2019.
