Wide Satellite Flexo Press

Recently, news came from Xi'an: The first wide-format high-speed satellite flexographic printing press for decorative paper printing was successfully developed at Xi'an Aerospace Huayang Co., Ltd. It will fill the domestic gap.

Also known as the Central impression type or central impression roller type flexo press, the satellite type flexo press is the most important type of flexo press. According to statistics, in Europe and the United States, the proportion of satellite flexo presses accounts for 70% to 80% of all flexo presses. Flexo printing technology is being used more and more widely in China, but at present the vast majority of flexographic presses introduced in China are unit type flexo presses. It can be foreseen that in the future, the focus of the introduction of flexo presses in China will gradually shift from a narrow-width unit type to a wide-range satellite type, and the satellite-type flexo press will eventually become a major type of flexo press application in China.

The main technical features of the machine are: central impression cylinder (constant temperature control); printing workstation with closed scraper (with stainless steel ink tank); ceramic anilox roller configured according to user needs, plate roller (with gas support The device can be installed with a sleeve); duplex position unwinding and rewinding device with automatic reel change device; still image monitoring system; paper correcting device; hot air drying system; double material lifting device; floating roller tension system Vertical and horizontal automatic register system and electrical control system.

The main advantages of this equipment printing decorative paper

High production efficiency, printing speed up to 300300m/min; printed material width is relatively wide, 1600mm; due to the small changes in the tension of the satellite flexographic press, tension is easy to control, so overprint accuracy, overprint accuracy up to 0.02mm; use of water-based ink, tasteless no Pollution is conducive to clean and environmentally friendly production, in line with the world's green production trend; with safety protection devices, easy operation, safe use; save energy and electricity.

One of the greatest advantages of printing decorative paper using a wide-format satellite flexo press is environmental protection. Decorative paper printing is an important application area of ​​gravure printing. White or monochrome special paper is used as a carrier material to print on the surface of different coating materials. For example, floor leather and wallpaper are printed on decorative paper. Decorative paper can be applied to very useful products such as walls (walls), automobiles, computer parts, furniture and floors. Plastic composite decorative paper can be applied to products and occasions requiring cleaning, such as public places and hospitals. In the past ten years, the application of decorative paper in all countries has grown rapidly, so its market potential is very large.

The main advantages of decorative paper are: no need to destroy forests at all; the products obtained are cleaner, more practical, and have lower production costs; and in the future, they are also an irreplaceable material that can satisfy people's desire for environmental protection and return to nature. It can also be used for large-scale industrial production; long-term use of graphics and text can remain unchanged, according to foreign experience, the current technology has allowed the printing of decorative paper can be maintained for more than 10 years without noticeable changes in the production and use of pollution-free process; Can protect limited natural resources and help improve living standards, both beautiful and environmentally friendly.

The main advantage of this machine is that it can adapt to the application of water-based ink to meet the requirements of water-based ink printing as a machine design and manufacture, and consider the needs of water-based ink from many aspects such as function parameters, machine structure, and material selection. It can better establish an environment-friendly production and consumption system. The environmental protection of the printing process is mainly determined by the following factors: environmental pollution, health requirements and resource consumption. The flexible version has better environmental protection than the intaglio because it uses a wide range of non-toxic water-based inks and has low energy consumption. The printed products are free from contamination, safer, and beneficial to human health and environmental protection. Flexible ink is the only non-toxic ink approved by the US Food and Drug Association in all printing methods. As a result, flexo printing has been called green printing, which is invisible to other printing methods such as gravure printing.

In short, in the decorative paper printing industry, since the use of flexographic technology, it has increasingly demonstrated its superiority and broad prospects for development.
