Rotogravure Printing Machine

The rotogravure printing machine can apply gravure coating with automatic film unwind, suitable for the shrink sleeve and flexible packaging industries.

Model :SWG Series
PURPOSE OF MACHINE
  • This rotogravure printing machine is suitable for both the Shrink Sleeve and the Flexible Packaging Industry. Turret-type unwind and rewind units with an automatic splicing system could carry out non-stop production and reduce waste. Besides, each printing unit is equipped with a servo motor and a controller to increase the accuracy of registration. The doctoring blade system could adjust the angle to achieve great printing quality. With the PLC system and HMI, this rotogravure printing machine provides you with easy and smooth operation.

Application

Webcontrol Machinery Corp. builds the SWG Series for gravure printing and coating across the shrink sleeve label and flexible packaging sectors, serving food, beverage, healthcare, personal care, and daily consumer goods packaging. An adjustable-angle doctoring blade maintains print quality, and the PLC system runs dancer roller tension control and diameter-detecting control to keep material handling consistent from the first roll to the last.


Webcontrol Machinery Corp. builds the SWG Series Rotogravure Printing Machine on a track record of over 3,000 installations in more than 80 countries, each certified to CE (EU) and UL (US) safety standards. Every printing unit carries its own servo motor and controller for registration accuracy, and turret-type unwind and rewind units with an automatic splicing system keep production running without a stop. That combination is what shrink sleeve and flexible packaging converters get from a manufacturer with over 35 years of machine-building experience behind it.

Q: How does the SWG Series hold print registration during continuous production?

A: Webcontrol Machinery Corp. equips every printing unit on the SWG Series with its own servo motor and controller, which is what holds registration accuracy at speed. The PLC system with HMI runs E/P transducer control and dancer roller tension control across the line, and turret-type unwind and rewind units with an automatic splicing system carry roll changes without stopping the machine or breaking registration.

Q: What tension and control functions run on the SWG Series?

A: Webcontrol Machinery Corp. runs the SWG Series on a PLC system with HMI that covers automatic unwind and rewind tension control, diameter detecting control, dancer roller tension control, and automatic cutting and roll change. An adjustable-angle doctoring blade sits alongside these controls to hold print quality across changing roll sizes.
