BAGS FEEDING

a) Manual (Standard): The bags are manually placed in front of locating indexes for feeding into the machine. For a good print registration, the bags are transferred on a conveyor belt between the colors.

b) Stream Feeder – Authomatic (Optional): The operator places bags into the automatic stream feeder, which holds up to 200 bags. A set of suction pads then picks up each bag and places it onto a conveyor belt. Once in position, the front fingers retract, and the nip rollers pull the sheet into the machine. The stream feeder operates in sync with the machine's speed.

IMPRESSION

Print registration to the bag edge is done by front fingers and lateral guide
The bag is carried out through the printing units on a flat belt.
The printing units are guarded with transparent covers electrically controlled. Opening while the machine is in operation, will automatically stop it.
The printing is done by standard flexo plates.
Each flexo printing unit is equipped in standard with an inking and a wiper cylinder Anilox.
The machine can be used with water or alcohol inks.

OUTFEED

a) Sliding table (Standard): After printed, the bags are collected on a sliding table.

b) Rotating plates (Optional): After printed, the bags are collected on 4 rotating plates. The time given by a complete rotation is sufficient for the ink to dry (suggested for conditions of drying difficulties).
