Gallus at drupa 2012: Maximum productivity and flexibility

New-generation gravure

The new, trendsetting gravure printing unit, which can be integrated at any point in the machine system, adds a second main printing process to the Gallus ICS 670's functionality, enabling printers to use water- and solvent-based inks. It sets new standards in terms of efficiency, economy and user friendliness thanks to the easy-to-handle ink changeover trolley and tool-less ink, doctor blade and impression cylinder changeover. Cylindrical gravure sleeves also help greatly reduce operating costs. A unique web lead with various dryer options shortens the web run considerably and helps reduce waste. What's more, the gravure unit includes a flying imprint option that enables changeover of the gravure cylinder while the web tension is automatically regulated and kept constant, without the web having to be separated.
