AB Graphic International has sold an Omega HSR slitter rewinder to Dubai-based Raqam International, the first deal through its new distributor Nilpeter ME.
The 430mm-wide model was purchased, along with a 330mm-wide Vectra ECTR turret rewinder, shortly after AB Graphic International signed with Nilpeter ME.
Matthew Burton of AB Graphic International said the HSR will be equipped with the company’s FleyeVision 100% print face inspection system.
“This comprises an intelligent camera that replaces traditional missing label detection while also picking up matrix errors and major registration shifts,” he said.
“The Vectra 330 is equipped with core loader, bowl feeder and core and tail gluing and is suitable for running 76mm and 25mm mandrels.”
Kalid Shah of Raqam International said the new slitter rewinder will enhance quality control while the Vectra turret rewinder will enable the company to convert non-stop at the end of the press, effectively bypassing the finishing department on some jobs.
The HSR is a high speed slitter inspection rewinder that benefits from larger unwind/rewind diameters and runs at speeds up to 300m/min.
Available in web widths of 330mm, 430mm and 530mm, the HSR is equipped for 800mm unwind and 600mm rewind diameters.
The ETCR is available in 330mm, 410mm and 510mm widths and can run at 150m/min, depending on mandrel size.
AB Graphic International supplies both standard and customised label converting and finishing lines.
