Germany-based Perga has invested in Koenig & Bauer’s Evo XD CI flexo printing press to boost its production capabilities.
Perga is engaged in the manufacturing of mono and coextruded films and packaging based on PE-HD. It also offers products made from PE-LD and other polyethylenes.
Perga managing director Fabian Wilhelms said: “In this respect, our philosophy is perfectly aligned with that of Koenig & Bauer. The press implements all the principles that we have championed for years. Our goal is to combine sustainable production with the highest possible quality.”
Designed to print with solvent and water-based inks, the Evo XD CI flexo press features a special heat exchanger system with an integrated drying air control to support energy-efficient and cost-saving production.
With eight printing units, the Evo XD CI flexo press also offers web widths up to 1,320mm and repeat lengths up to 1,070mm.
The Evo XD CI flexo press also consists of a high-efficiency and energy-saving ventilation system for the intermediate and bridge dryers.
The press consists of a fully automatic PrintTronic impression control system, which facilitates makeready settings to be made without ink and with a bare minimum of the substrate.
The Evo XD CI flexo press also offers production speeds up to 500m per minute based on the use of a particular substrate.
In addition, the company has integrated all key automation and operating functions into the new touchscreens permit intuitive handling at all relevant points around the press.
Koenig & Bauer Flexotecnica Italy managing director said: “We have now sold several of our presses to German companies. Being able to demonstrate the Evo XD at our Customer Technology Centre in Würzburg is a huge help. After all, many of our customers have been unable to travel to Italy due to the current pandemic.”
