New Delhi headquartered Packtime Innovations has invested in an 8-color Omet Xflex X6 narrow web combination printing and converting flexo press. The 530-mm press comes with all UV and hot air drying options in addition to a rotogravure station, tow corona treaters, web cleaner and camera system. The press is installed at the Packtime’s Pune plant. The sale and installation of the Omet Xflex X6 was handled by Omet’s exclusive agent Weldon Celloplast.

The Xflex X6 flexo press is capable of integrating several printing and converting technologies in-line and processing substrates from 12-micron film to light cartons. The modular design of the machine allows to combine and implement in-line, with no limitations, different printing technologies, as well as special finishing applications and converting units, to always get to the final product in one single pass. It can control both machine and cross side of each single printing unit in real time and get the press ready to print in less than 1 minute, generating minimal waste.

The Flexo Direct-Drive technology and gearless concept eliminates even the smallest imperfection and allow the press to reach the purest quality with no backlash and perfect register stability, even at the highest production speeds. The press comes with features like fully removable inking cassettes and light ink pans, automatic set-up and pre-registration, easy link to intranet and ERP.

“Omet machines are robust, operator friendly, ergonomically designed and adaptive to various inline processes. Overall the machine is supported by highly skilled, knowledgeable, humble and polite Omet team without them such engineering marvels can’t be innovated,” says Anand Singh, vice president-technical at Pactime Innovations.
