At the Plastivision 2020 exhibition in Mumbai, Pelican showcased its new Acrostar dual turret slitter rewinder. Launched at the K show last year, the new slitter rewinder runs at speeds up to 700 meters a minute while offering a rapid changeover time of less than 30 seconds.

Demonstrating live throughout the show, the Acrostar is suitable for a wide range of substrates at higher speed levels. Equipped with servo motors and motion control systems (six servo axis) from Siemens, the machine comes with a reel push-off system coupled with the reel unloading system.

In addition to the new Acrostar, Pelican also demonstrated a single tower of the Pelican Solomark 6400 gravure press. The tower demonstrated at the event has a new semi-flotation dryer for thin and extensible substrates at high speeds. The new generation rotogravure press is very relevant in today’s context; minimal wastage (quick setup, shorter web path, minimal ink circulation), maximum up-time, with networked manufacturing making Solomark 6400 ELS Press a green solution that is productive and predictive.
