ROTOCONTROL has announced that it has received an order for the EDM200 semi-rotary, servo-driven UV-flexo machine from Label Leaders in South Africa.

The order was placed by Pascal Aengenvoort, Director from ROTOTEC, the local Agent for ROTOCONTROL throughout South Africa who will also manage the installation scheduled for mid-August.

The EDM200 is the world’s first ever designed semi-rotary, servo-driven UV-flexo machine, using sleeve technology for both print and anilox cylinders, and working with chambered doctor blade technology. The machine is designed to work mainly as an over-printing machine and has been specifically developed to provide very economic production of short-run and fast turnaround for labels, tickets and tags.

Label Leaders factory manager Craig Stange said that they have planed to utilise the EDM200 in short-run production of generic labels requiring a change in the description of the product.

“The speed and ease of job setup and changeover in addition to the flexibility in producing smaller runs of unique labels led to our decision to invest in the ROTOCONTROL EDM200,” Stange added.
