AIIR SYSTEM
(Autonomous Inking Impression and Registration) on the FL5 gives unparalleled automation and repeatability of quality and print accuracy.
CAST & CURE
has been added to give a finish that adds brand protection and allows the carton to really stand out from other production methods.
CUT, CREASED & STRIPPED
The carton was finally cut, creased and stripped before being discharged onto a conveyor by the FDC 600.
From raw material to finished carton in 1 minute!
ALL IN A SINGLE PASS
ELIMINATES YOUR WORK IN PROGRESS, REDUCES THE NUMBER OF OPERATORS, WASTE, POWER AND GIVES AN UNRIVALLED DELIVERY TIME TO POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS.
The Edale FDC-400 web fed die cutter combines the best of sheetfed flatbed die-cutting technology with a cutting-edge servo-driven constant tension web transport system.
It’s been specifically designed for a fast job change and setup when run in-line with flexo systems or digital lines; the FDC-400 creates a highly efficient web-fed, single-pass folding carton production line.
With a maximum speed of up to 11,411 impressions per hour, the ability to nest products up to two across, pre-registration, and the benefit of being able to reconfigure the machine for a wide range of carton sizes and forms without specialist tooling, ensures that downtime and substrate wastage is kept to a minimum.
The FDC-400 web fed die cutter can be retrofitted to an existing Edale or other manufacturers press or to a roll stand for off-line conversion of analogue or digitally pre-printed webs.
The machine will perform well with a wide range of carton board thicknesses.
Products can include cutting, creasing, embossing, and brail, with delivery being done with a denesting system that will ensure easy collection. A range of other delivery solutions such as a stand-alone Jumbo Unwind and side unloading conveyors and batch stackers are also available.
