PlastFocus 2024: UFlex showcases advanced machine technology

Recognised as an ideal platform for the plastics and packaging sector, PlastFocus 2024 featured UFlex’s state-of-the-art machine technology, primed to redefine industry standards.

At the event, UFlex highlighted the technological prowess and capabilities of two of its groundbreaking machines.

The company presented its CI flexo machines, including the first-ever made-in-India gearless CI flexo printing machine, introduced in 2017. Building on this legacy, UFlex has ventured into manufacturing a central impression, up to 10 colours, 800-1600mm web width CI flexo printing press. This collaborative endeavor with Italy-based Comiflex has resulted in a machine that offers unparalleled performance. With a printing speed of up to 400-m/min, this system is equipped with modem connectivity to UFlex’s service team for remote monitoring, diagnostics, and troubleshooting, ensuring real- time assistance to clients.

UFlex’s combi lamination machine features a digital AC vector drive and AC vector grade motor technology. This versatile model facilitates the lamination of two different substrates seamlessly using any of the two modes at a given time. The machine includes unwind and rewind features, a solvent-less coating unit, a gravure coating unit, a lamination unit, and a drying tunnel. With a speed of up to 300 meters/minute for solvent- based operations and 450-m/min for solvent-less operations, this machine sets new benchmarks in efficiency and performance.
