Vinsak has announced the installation of a new ABG Digicon Series 3 at Astron Packaging Industry in Dubai. Some of the features the company has opted for in the new digital finishing equipment are two complete semi-rotary flexo units with GEW UV system, spot varnishing feature, cold foil/lamination, super-gloss unit, matrix rewind, slitting unit, and dual re-winder.
With a max speed of 150 meters per minute and the capability to work in line with the world’s fastest digital print engines, Digicon Series 3 comes in a modular design that allows customization to meet individual needs and create a clear competitive advantage for any print business.
Astron began its operations in the UAE in 2019 with the installation of a Lombardi Synchroline press and, after adding a digital system, immediately felt the need to add a finishing line. Based on their positive experience of installing multiple ABG lines in their India plant, Astron decided to install the latest, state-of-the-art Digicon Series 3 for its UAE facility.
Speaking about the installation, Ross Hollaway, sales manager at AB Graphics, said, “We are delighted that Astron Packaging has reinforced their relationship with ABG with this new kit. Along with Mr. Malkhan Ram of Vinsak, the sale has re-inforced our teamwork in opening up a new series of equipment that label printers in the region would find very useful in expanding their product offerings.”
AB Graphics has been manufacturing innovative print finishing equipment for over 60 years. According to the company, it has a global installation base of 11,000 machines and over more than 2,500 customers. In India, the install base is around 150 machines, including the flagship Digicon Series 2 and 3 digital finishing, turrets, booklet makers, slitter re-winders, camera systems, and turret re-winders.
