CI FLEXO PRESS MACHINE

CI FLEXO PRESS MACHINE

1. What is the work of this machine?

A CI Flexo Press Machine (Central Impression Flexographic Press) is a type of flexographic printing press widely used in the packaging industry for printing on flexible materials such as films, labels, paper, and corrugated boards. Here’s a detailed breakdown of its features, working principle, applications, and advantages:

1. Used for flexographic printing on flexible packaging (e.g., food packaging, labels, plastic bags).
2. Handles multiple colors in a single pass (typically 6-10 colors).
3. Suitable for large-volume production with high precision.
4. Can include additional features like lamination, coating, or die-cutting.

Key Features of CI Flexo Press Machine:

Central Impression Drum Design:

1. The printing stations are arranged around a single large-diameter central impression cylinder.
2. This ensures precise registration (alignment) and minimizes material distortion during printing.

Suitable for Flexible Substrates:

Works well with thin, stretchable materials like plastic films (PE, PP, BOPP), aluminum foil, and paper.

High-Speed Printing:

Capable of speeds up to 600-1000 meters per minute, depending on the configuration.

Multiple Printing Stations:

1. Typically includes 6-10 color stations for multi-color printing.
2. Can incorporate additional units for laminating, coating, or die-cutting.

 Advanced Ink Systems:

1. Uses water-based, solvent-based, or UV-curable inks.
2. Equipped with chambered doctor blades for precise ink application.

Automated Controls:

Features PLC-based automation, touchscreen interfaces, and web tension control for consistent print quality.

How a CI Flexo Press Works:

Unwinding: The substrate (film/paper) is fed from a roll.

Printing: Each color unit applies ink via an anilox roller and flexo plate.

Drying: Hot air or UV curing units dry the ink between stations.

Finishing: May include lamination, varnishing, or die-cutting.

Rewinding/Slitting: The printed material is rewound or cut into sheets.

Applications of CI Flexo Press:

1. Flexible Packaging (Pouches, bags, wrappers for snacks, beverages)
2. Labels & Stickers (Self-adhesive labels, shrink sleeves)
3. Corrugated Box Printing (High-quality graphics on cardboard)
4. Laminated Products (Food packaging, pharmaceutical films)

Advantages Over Stack or In-Line Flexo Presses:

✔ Better Registration – Due to a single central drum, reducing web movement.
✔ Higher Speed & Efficiency – Suitable for long print runs.
✔ Excellent Print Quality – Ideal for fine details and smooth gradients.
✔ Versatility – Handles thin, heat-sensitive films better than other flexo types.

2. How many workers are needed to operate it?

Standard Operation: 2–4 workers (machine operator, assistant, quality checker, material handler).

Automated Models: May require fewer workers (1–2) if equipped with automatic loading/unloading.

3. What is the production capacity?

Speed: ~200–500 meters per minute (depending on material & design).

Daily Output: ~50,000–150,000 sq. meters (varies with machine size & automation).

4. What is the electricity cost?

Power Consumption: ~20–50 kW (depending on size & features).

Estimated Cost: ~$10–$25 per hour (varies by local electricity rates).

5. How much space is needed to install this machine?

Small Models: ~10m (L) x 5m (W) x 3m (H).

Large Models: ~20m (L) x 8m (W) x 4m (H).

Requires additional space for material storage and drying.
