Stork to show rotary screen printing products at Labelexpo Asia

At Labelexpo Asia in Shanghai on stand E16, Stork Prints will show its range of rotary screen printing equipment and narrow web flexo sleeves.

The company offers a range of modular printing units, based on its Rotary Screen Integration (RSI) technology. The RSI Compact has a repeat size range of 12” to 18”, and available widths of 10” and 13”. Working above the mainframe of the press, the unit is easily repositioned in the printing sequence with the help of an optional sliding rail, and reaches speeds of up to 328 fpm (100 m/min).

Stork Prints’ EasyFit lightweight ‘cassette’ format rotary screen printing modules are designed for modular hybrid presses, where different processes can be interchanged with each other at any stage in the printing sequence. Typically under 27kg, they are light enough to be set up manually, and are ideal for situations where fast-changeovers are essential. Make-ready times are as low as ten minutes. Adjustable support bearings allow fast repeat-size changeover within a restricted environment, without the need for recalibration.

Other rotary screen highlights at the Stork Prints stand will include the re-engraveable RotaMesh screen for the RSI systems, and the re-usable RotaPlate screen for non-Stork Prints systems. Both feature the ultra-stable electroformed pure-nickel construction, offering easy handling, high stability and resistance to breakage at relatively high speeds.

Stork Prints will also showcase its narrow web flexo sleeves by AKL Flexo Technik, which has recently introduced its program of tough, hard- and soft-coated mounting sleeves for narrow web applications to the Chinese market. Suited to the latest generation flexo printing systems, the sleeves offer stable, slippage-free printing, and assured total indicator readings (TIR) of within 15 µm, even under extreme humidity and heat.
