Rotocon is a provider of consulting and service to South Africa label converters in the narrow web industry.
The two MPS flexo printing presses, which include an EF 330 with 10-colours and an EP 430 with 8-colours, are due to be installed at separate label printers in Johannesburg.
The firm will provide the presses with full-service from procurement to complete installation and training.
Rotocon sales director Patrick Aengenvoort said for several years, the company has provided a complete door-to-door service of sourcing used presses and finishing machines for South African label printers.
Aengenvoort said: “Through our extensive international network, we have access to well-maintained equipment from reputable brands that offer a viable lower-cost alternative for label production and finishing.”
Rotocon, which conducted on-site inspection and printing test prior to shipment, will be responsible for dismantling the machine and oversee the crating and shipping.
Once imported by Rotocon, the service technician will offer re-installation of the equipment and operator training.
The MPS EF press is an automated multi-substrate flexo press designed for label production and flexible packaging printing.
In addition to allowing operators to maximize press performance, the EF provides the enhanced flexibility and can be executed with new future-proof technological solutions for the highest productivity.
The press features UV, hot-air and LED drying technology to enable printing on a wide variety of substrates including thin film, paper, cartonboard, shrink sleeves, inmould, lamitube and flexible packaging.
Earlier this year, South African label printer and converter First Impression Labels purchased equipment from Rotocon and Screen Graphic Solutions to boost its digital print production capability.
The firm has invested in a Screen Truepress Jet L350UV+ inkjet label press and Rotocon Ecoline RDF-330 for converting and finishing.
