Product overview
Unit-type rotogravure printing machine designed for high-speed, multi-color web printing in industrial production. Modular unit configuration with independent color stations and dedicated drying tunnels enables flexible line layouts from 6 to 12+ colors. Registration accuracy is ±0.1 mm and maximum running speed reaches up to 300 m/min. Compatible with a broad range of substrates and engineered for consistent inline finishing integration.

Core advantages

• Modular unit architecture: independent color units for easy addition, removal or reconfiguration (6–12+ units).
• Independent drying per unit: extended hot-air tunnels (1.8–3.0 m) with high-velocity circulation and automatic temperature control to prevent ink re-wetting.
• High-precision drive: Electronic Line Shaft (ELS) with individual servo motors for print and impression cylinders to maintain registration within ±0.1 mm at high speeds.

Printing materials & key attributes
Compatible substrates include OPP, BOPP, CPP, PE, PET, PVC, nylon, aluminum foil and paper. Machine supports solvent-, water- and alcohol-based inks, offers short production cycles and reliable multi-color registration for complex print jobs.

Applications
Flexible food packaging
Suitable for multi-layer laminates used in retort pouches, snack bags and high-barrier packaging; inter-station drying reduces residual solvent and precise tension control preserves barrier integrity.

Decorative materials and laminates
Handles wide-web decorative printing with heavy ink laydown for flooring, furniture laminates and other large-repeat applications while maintaining color consistency.

Tobacco and beverage packaging
Delivers high-speed output with stable registration and compatibility with inline finishing such as embossing, UV varnish and cold-seal coating for cartons and flexible packs.

Advanced features that boost productivity

• Intelligent ink management: high-speed trolley-type ink circulation with enclosed doctor-blade chambers to minimize solvent loss and stabilize viscosity.
• Precision web handling: ultra-low-friction pneumatic dancing rollers and load cells create isolated tension zones for substrates from 12 µm to 250 µm.
• Quick changeover system: trolley-type cylinder mounting and pre-registration reduce changeover time (example: 30–45 minutes for an 8-color job).

Quality assurance / Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT)

• Registration stability tests during acceleration, steady run and deceleration
• Residual solvent analysis (GC) to verify drying efficiency
• Impression uniformity checks to prevent barring or gear marks
• Doctor blade dynamics testing to avoid streaking
• Web handling stability verification at full operating speed
