Nico Jasper with the new rotec lightweight sleeve
The new rotec lightweight sleeve for conventional plate mounting with adhesive tapes has been launched by Flint Group, offering weight savings of up to 40%.
According to the company this new generation of hard-coated sleeves meets a range of customers’ requirements in the mid to wide web and pre-print sector. Maximum weight limits for components handled in the pressroom, shorter and easier press setups, or even missing adapter configurations can easily be managed in the future.
‘The latest developments in the sector of polyurethane foams made it possible to combine among the highest thermal and dimensional stability with less density. This results in our roteclightweight sleeve without any compromise in our proven quality.’ said Nico Jasper, product manager and technical sales sleeves.
Further to the weight savings, the entire sleeve edge is sealed with an aluminum plate and protects the sleeve from exposure of cleaning liquids, inks or solvents and prevents unnatural diameter growth of the sleeve.
Patrick Luedecke, sales director sleeves, said, ‘Our product development department in Ahaus, Germany is working intensively on new customer oriented sleeve solutions. Our customers can really look forward to the next innovations rolled out by Flint Group.’
