UK packaging company Tamar Packaging Solutions has invested in a seven colour FL5-510 Carton press with combination drying to cater for the company’s core business of converting carton board.
As well as carton board for the FMCG market, the press will be producing self-erect cartons for different sectors of the food market. The FL5 will provide Tamar with quicker set ups, a wider web width and faster running speeds while reducing waste and boosting productivity.
The FL5 is a versatile packaging printing machine that can be specified for the production of cartons, scratch cards and flexible packaging; it has a wide substrate range of 12-600 microns to suit many applications.
The press also comes with AiiR features as standard. AiiR (autonomous inking, impression and print registration) uses precision camera technology to improve registration accuracy, while automated print pressure control reduces wastage and set-up times. By fully automating print and the registration processes, the level of operator intervention can be reduced, leading to fewer errors and a more consistent, higher quality final product.
Paul Baker, technical operations manager for Tamar commented, ‘The seven colour FL5 gives us the flexibility to venture into new areas of the packaging world so we are able to offer our existing customers the opportunities to enhance their products further.’
