P4 Lid printers

Our P4 lid printers are designed for fast changeovers, with ease of acces and high product printing stability in mind such that a user friendly machine is created. Our printing equipment is able to print up to 8 colours and using a modular design approach, we are able to deliver our equipment aligned with your wishes.

For optimization of the printing process, auxiliary equipment such as an in-feed buffer and a restacker can be supplied.

To further decrease changeover time, the P4 cup printers are per standard delivered with automated register settings based on a previous run.

Printing unit

Our printing unit is designed with a high printing quality stability in mind and uses swing open colour heads. The register is electronically actuated to allow for central adjustments. 

Colour heads

Our colour heads are designed for a high roller parallelism such that printing quality is consistent. An oscillating action is used to reduce ghosting effects and  as option cooled colour heads can be mounted for increased printing quality stability. 

Colour heads are easy to clean through the use of removable rollers. 

Operator interface

The machine is centrally controlled using a rugged HMI that displays all required data. The register can be stored and read for quick set-up.

Screw feeder

Retractable screw feeder  with screw and suction pad separation support. The flexible design of the feeder can handle any lid and makes offline preparation possible such that a quick changeover is achieved. 

UV curing

UV-inks can be cured either on the mandrel or with a separate curing line using a 5 kW or 8 kW UV lamp. When the machine is in stand-by status, the power is reduced to 20%.

 

 

Pretreatment

The P4 lid printer can be outfitted with a flame pretreatment module and or corona pretreatment module.

Restacking

Restacking of lids is made trough an inclined chute and is as flexible as the screw feeder. 

Auxiliary equipment

An additional restack buffer with exact counting can be supplied as auxiliary equipment. 

Customizable

Our machines are designed based on a modular system. Should you have specific requests for your application we can also help you.
