Nilpeter to unveil new presses at Labelexpo Americas

Nilpeter will show five presses at Labelexpo Americas, including the FG-4200, a new addition to the FG-Line of mid-range UV flexo machines with a maximum web width of 16.5 inches (420mm).   

An 8-color version will run with a film package during the event, allowing the machine to handle a variety of label and packaging materials. Each of the print units incorporates dual servo-drives and the latest lightweight sleeve plate technology. The range of presses is positioned between the modular FA-Line and the FB-Line. Manufacturing is split between Nilpeter’s plants in Denmark and in the USA. 

At the show Nilpeter will also launch the FA-6 press. With a maximum web width of 22 inches (558mm), the machine is aimed at the growing number of label converters around the world that are also producing film packaging and carton board products. An 8-color version will be on display, equipped with both UV curing units and hot air driers for producing a variety of film packaging, label and carton board products. 

An 8-color FB-3300 S, which has a web width up to 13 inches (330 mm), will run with a combination of UV curing units and hot air driers. The inline finishing functions will include a leaflet/label or booklet system for running promotional products. The print units allow fast adjustments and rapid anilox roll changes, aided by servo-drives for the principle functions.  

FB-Line presses have a top speed of 750 ft/min (228 m/min). The integral UV curing lamp units are fitted with water-cooled chill rollers to assist the converting of heat-sensitive materials. Options include screen process and hot foil modules. A further FB-3000 will be present on Kurz’s stand, where demonstrations will show how different forms of block foiling are integrated in-line with conventional flexo printing. 

Technical workshops

Nilpeter will participate in technical workshops that will run throughout the three days of the show. A variety of printing technologies will be benchmarked against each other, running the same label job, using similar pre-press/origination file data, over similar run lengths. A Nilpeter FB-3300 S featuring the latest HD flexo technology will run alongside UV-cured inkjet, dry-toner and electrophotographic machines.
