Battenfeld-Groster launches ten color flexo printing presses

Battenfeld-Groster Engineering AG has introduced a new type of FLEXOELITE, a 10-color flexo printing press. This press is the first flexographic printing press that uses a gearless linear electromagnetic motor to control 10 printing layers. Each board has four motors, which are more accurate than traditional rotary ball screw flexo printers because the motor has no moving parts and does not cause mechanical damage. The operating cost is lower and its printing accuracy can reach 0.1μm at 600m/min. At speeds, the printed material can reach a width of 200cm. The printing unit's rewind unit offers 80cm, 100cm or 150cm roll diameter options.
