Gallus describes its new ICS 670 system as ‘the ultimate in efficiency and flexibility for folding carton conversion’.
Targeted at mid-size cartons in medium to long run lengths with a high degree of added value, the company aims to reach highly prized and highly priced markets such as beauty care and cosmetics, personal and healthcare, confectionery, tobacco, and other non-food areas such as blister cards and clear plastics boxes.
Uli Kretzschmar, business development manager, says: “There are four key features that give the Gallus a clear lead in this market sector - its platform design; its dedicated in-line flat-bed die-cutter; its hotfoil embossing facility; and its capacity to change jobs on the fly.“
Configurations for the Gallus ICS 670 can include HiDef flexo, gravure, and screen printing, cold foiling, hotfoil stamping and embossing, as well as laminating.
Rotary hotfoil embossing on the ICS 670 is contained within one unit and can feed up to six foils across the web. It is also fitted with a foil saving device for maximum foil utilisation.
The infeed section is servo driven to ensure constant web tension and can be supplemented by automatic roll handling and splice units as well as a corona treater for pre-laminated board of plastics substrates. The printing section offers a slide-in - slide-out facility for HiDef flexo, gravure and screen heads, as well as laminating, cold foiling, hotfoil stamping and hologram insetting.
The Gallus FCL 670 (Flat-bed Cut Line) sheets the printed web before creasing, embossing and die cutting. After stripping, the die-cut carton blanks are separated (de-nested) and then delivered on a shingle conveyor or optional stacking unit. The advantage of the concept is the total flexibility to finish the job simultaneous to printing in-line with the Gallus ICS 670, or convert the pre printed web off-line at a later, more convenient time.
