In-line flexographic press MASTER M5

for plastic filmfor papercarton

Product overview
Built for full digitalization of the production workflow, the MASTER M5 is an automated, versatile inline flexo press for labels and flexible packaging. The press is configurable with print cylinders or sleeves and can be equipped with oneECG technology for repeatable color consistency run after run, minimizing ink consumption and inventory. The machine is designed to automate production, reduce downtime and waste, and to integrate printing and multi-process inline finishing.

Key benefits

• Outstanding productivity and oneECG-ready: digital workflow with integrated printing and converting technologies enables 1‑minute job changes, high quality and consistency, and very low operating costs
• Unlimited substrate types: self-adhesive stocks, glossy paper, unsupported films, alu-foil, lamitubes, light cardboard and more
• High press uptime and very fast time-to-market with very short set-up time and minimal waste
• Infinite Flower print unit control to manage print density changes at speed variations and monitor ink temperature
• Multi-process, product-enhancing inline finishing and modularity for multiple printing/finishing processes

Precision and quality consistency

• Very accurate web-tension control from unwinder to rewinder
• Automatic pre-register setting and ARC automatic print-to-cylinder register control

More uptime, top efficiency

• Digital automation ensuring productivity and process repeatability
• Easy-to-run operation with touch panels on each print unit and main HMI
• Production data accessible from remote devices; connectivity and remote services

Features

• Exceptionally flexible: ideal for short to long runs, handling a wide variety of substrates and multiple printing processes (flexo, silk screen, gravure)
• Sustainable, easy to run and connected: minimum tool-free operator intervention; remote internet services and production monitoring
• Fast and uninterrupted production: on-the-fly job changeovers, automatic exchange of printing cylinders and die-cutting stations without stopping the press; Digiflexo and Digigap for rapid digital set-up and minimal waste
• Suitable for printing on mono-material high barrier paper (oneBARRIER) for recyclable flexible packaging and food applications
• High-quality printing: overdimensioned chilled drums for positive web transport, Snowball Lite and Bambi for high-speed matrix rewinding
