Central drum flexographic press EXPERT CI

7-color8-colorten-color

Overview The EXPERT CI platform is a modular flexographic press engineered for consistent CI flexo production with solvent and water-based inks. It supports 7-color Extended Color Gamut (ECG) workflows and delivers controlled printing results with high productivity through integrated automation and energy-efficient systems.

Key benefits

• Reduced waste and fast job changes via smartGPS and smartSET registration systems.
• Stable ink management and predictable print results with smartFLO inking and chamber doctor blade, plus triLOCK high-torque locking for repeatability.
• High uptime and process control through connectivity, remote access, IoT features and predictive maintenance.

Features

• Modular concept with bridge-mounted additional drying modules and hybrid dual-technology tunnel.
• Shafted duplex winders and fully automatic bi-directional reel splice at production speed; face-to-face winder configuration.
• Precision components: µm-range mechanical guides, servo drives, 1 µm resolution for impression and anilox/plate settings, anti-vibration design.
• triLOCK 3-point locking mechanism for automatic high-torque locking and repeatability.
• smartFLO inking system and chamber doctor blade for controlled ink temperature and flow, compatible with solvent, water-based and ECG processes.
