Leicester-based Advance Labels has taken delivery of the latest eight colour, full UV Proflex 330SE servo flexo press from Focus Label Machinery.
The Proflex is a servo driven, modular press available with print widths of either 250mm or 330mm. It comes with a variety of optional drying systems, including full UV, LED, infra-red – or combination systems, with optional chill rolls for heat sensitive substrates.
‘This is our first Servo driven press and the production advantages are plain to see,’ said managing director David Gregory. ‘The latest technology for print impression setting is a revelation, eliminating print barring and cylinder bounce immediately. We estimate that the investment in this new technology will be returned within two years. The facility to produce cold foil and peel and reveal labels is a big plus for us.
‘This is our second purchase of a Focus press and represents a big step forward for us in terms of productivity and flexibility. Our business has grown rapidly in recent years and we needed to increase our efficiency and capacity. Focus has always provided a solid, reliable back-up service, complemented by quick response times, all of which were very important factors for us, when considering a new press.’
