Specialist label printer Secura Labels Ltd, based in Derbyshire UK, has taken delivery of the very latest LED UV equipped Proflex 330E flexo press, manufactured & supplied by UK manufacturer, Focus Label Machinery Ltd. The new press joins three more Focus supplied machines and will increase production capacity and efficiency of high-quality self-adhesive labels.
Secura Labels have been established for over 40 years serving industries such as Logistics, food & beverage, the NHS, Security, Packaging, Electrical, Automotive & Construction. They pride themselves on their wide range of knowledge in specialist applications, substrates and print technologies so clients can be rest assured they will get exactly what they need on time.
The latest Proflex E is a modular press available with print widths of 250mm and 330mm and a variety of optional drying systems, including full UV, LED, Infra-Red – or combination drying systems, with optional chill rolls for heat sensitive substrates. The Touchscreen controls provide easy operator interaction and stored job data for repeat orders. A solid engineered Rail system manages features such as turn-bar, delam-relam, cold foil, laminating, waste rewind turret, Ink jet & video scanner systems.
The open architecture design of the print stations enables top loading of print cylinders, whilst interchangeable print cartridges can be partially or fully unloaded and exchanged, in order to maximise productivity and minimise downtime. Bearer rings are incorporated into the print cylinder assembly, to guarantee accurate print impression settings, regardless of substrate.
Print cartridge assemblies can be cleaned off-line, allowing the operator to maintain uninterrupted production. As well as flexo print heads, there is also a facility to accommodate optional full colour, or single colour, digital inkjet system, for short run & variable data requirements.
Simon Miller, Managing Director of Secura commented… ‘This is our fourth purchase of a Focus press and will represent a big leap forward for us in terms of productivity and flexibility. It is the first machine with the new LED drying systems. We will monitor the savings in running this alongside standard UV and then look at moving all the presses over to LED in the near future. Our business has grown rapidly in recent years and we needed to increase our efficiency & capacity. Focus has always provided a reliable back-up service, complemented by quick response times, which were also important factors for us, when considering a new press.’
Focus Sales Manager, Antony Cotton added…’Secura Labels has been a good customer of ours for many years, so we are very pleased to continue this successful partnership with the installation of their fourth Proflex press’.
