The Evolution™ Converting System, from Paper Converting Machine Company (PCMC), is a gearless, in-line flexo converting press that incorporates AC Digital Servos for print cylinder control through a user-friendly operator interface. The press comes in 18˝, 22˝, and the mid-web 30˝ width, and is designed for the flexible packaging, folding carton, and tag and label markets. Lisa Prunty, PCMC marketing specialist, said, "Evolution uses the unique PCMC-designed print head, Deck x 2™. This unique design has a single impression cylinder operating between two color decks, allowing for an industry-shortest web path and the versatility to add additional print modules and converting options." The press also features an automatic rack-out/rack-in system, helping accomplish changeover in less than 30 minutes for 8 colors.
