Comexi’s ML2 laminator using the Vetaphone corona unit
Vetaphone’s VE1L model, corona technology capable of treating conductive and non-conductive materials, has been chosen by Comexi for its recently launched ML2 laminator.
The new Comexi ML2 is designed for both high productivity and versatility, and is intended to build on the success of the company’s popular Dual model, which it replaces. It is a true ‘operator’s machine’ with a range of gadgets that make it easy to operate, and fast to run. Capable of running solvent, water-based or solvent free adhesives, the ML2 has a maximum web width of 1530mm and is capable of 450m/min, offering cold seal, heat seal, ink, matt and gloss varnish, as well as all kinds of in register applications. Its trolley design permits gravure, solvent-less, flexo, semi-flexo and enclosed doctor blade chamber operation, and customers can specify drying tunnels up to nine metres long, with independently controlled sections.
Vetaphone’s vice president of sales & marketing, Kevin McKell, said, ‘We are delighted to be working so closely with such a leading wide web manufacturer as Comexi, whose technology is universally respected and admired. For our corona technology to be approved and recommended for the new Comexi ML2 is key milestone for Vetaphone as we aim to extend our market penetration in wide web.’
Albert Chicote, Comexi’s laminating business unit director, added, ‘In order to keep with this ultra-fast growing ratio, we need to incorporate the latest technology in our top sales machinery. The new ML2 places multi-purpose lamination at a completely new level.’
