Prati at drupa 2024 (Hall 16, booth A42) will presents a whole other planet in label and packaging converting and finishing.
In the spotlight is the DIGI COMPACT, a converting and finishing line for self-adhesive labels and digitally printed flexible packaging that, in an extremely compact design (only 3 m of floor space), can process a great many materials and also perform a variety of finishing and ennobling processes. Designed and built to value ergonomics and versatility, it can in fact convert and finish a wide range of products from 12 to 350 microns, switching from self-adhesive paper and plastic labels to heat-shrink and wrap-around labels, with either reel-to-reel, reel-to-sheet or reel-to-label processing. This special feature of the machine reduces the investment risk to zero and also allows entry into new business with minimal expense.
At Drupa DIGI COMPACT will be exhibited in a “roll-to-stack” configuration to finish IML labels, wet glue and stickers.
The machine is available in three widths 370, 400 and 450 and has a very high working speed: in semi-rotary 70 m/min and in rotary 200 m/min. Job changeover is minimized as are the consumables needed for the finishing process: in fact, it uses only one glass of varnish, so in addition to being very productive it is also extremely environmentally friendly.
Another strong point is the entirely modular design, so each process has its own module: that of unwinding and aligning, rotary and semi-rotary die-cutting module, with slitting and rewinding at the bottom for reel-to-reel applications, and label and sheet collection table at the top for all reel-to-label and sheet-to-sheet applications.
DIGI COMPACT is perfect for the needs of the present and the future also because it implements Futura, the scalable architecture-developed with a view to Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0, that allows Prati machines to add new functions and options even at a later moment, thus responding to different market needs and protecting the investment over time by saving energy and more. Prati supports the TREEDOM project of planting trees as compensation for CO2 produced, and is ready for the transition to Industry 5.0 to promote environmental sustainability, technological innovation and social inclusion.
