Vacuum metallizing system MASTER K5

plastic filmfor paper

Short description
The MASTER K5 is the first automated metallizer with a 1.5 m roll diameter in the flexible packaging industry. It is optimized to handle sustainable substrates including BOPE, MDO PE, CPP and paper, and low-temperature heat-sealable BOPP films.

Key benefits

• Largest roll capacity in the industry
• Up to 7% higher output per annum
• Improved metallized roll quality due to increased automation
• Largest diameter coating drum in the industry at 700 mm
• Incorporates the BOBST renowned winding mechanism
• Higher quality metallization through in-built process expertise
• In-built operator support
• BOBST iMA software powered by AI to automate and control the deposition process
• New operator console with controls all in one place
• Automatically selects optimized settings for different processes
• Remote support possible with BOBST iMA in conjunction with BOBST Connect
• Reduced production cycle increasing number of rolls per day
• Approximately 20% savings in production costs
• Maximum machine uptime resulting in Total Cost of Ownership reduced by 10-15%
• Total Cost of Ownership reduced by up to 25% compared to competitors

Features

• 1.5 m roll diameter – largest roll capacity in the industry providing increased output (up to 7% per annum)
• Largest coating window in the industry and 700 mm drum improving collection efficiency (approx. +16%)
• High Deposition (HD) source option with improved design for high deposition rates (up to 4.0 OD)
• New, more intuitive HMI and operator console consolidating controls in one place
• Automatic Sequential Control (ASC) speeds up start-up with minimum operator involvement
• Direct drives on winders (eliminates indirect drive losses); improved shaft vacuum seals for reduced wear and easy replacement
• Faster venting and pump-down times reduce production cycle and increase rolls per day
• Improved winding: direct drives and robust vacuum seals for higher reliability and lower maintenance
