[dropcaps style=’2′]Hyderabad-based Pragati Pack has installed India’s first Pantec Rhino II for embellishing labels for wine and cosmetics segments. Represented by Vinsak in India, the Pantec Rhino II is a powerful in-line flatbed embosser in the market with foiling and hologram in-setting units. The machine features a revolvable foil head to apply foil across and in web direction. The machine operates at speeds up to 25,000 cycles per hour for multi-stepping designs. The seven strokes per second speed of Rhino allows production at high-speed with cost-effective tools.[/dropcaps]
Hemanth Paruchuri, director, Pragati Pack, said, “We have seen a live demo of the Pantec Rhino at Labelexpo India 2016 and found it a complete fit with our existing infrastructure. We are looking to incorporate this machine into the labeling of wine and cosmetics. The flat bed systems and the high pressure allows us to add a lot of value to our offerings and also allows us to access niche markets to provide embellishment products at par with the global market.”
Rhino II also accommodates two foil stepping servo levels for independent patterns and six individually controllable heating zones for maximum flexibility in heat management on demanding multi-step designs.
Ranesh Bajaj, director of Vinsak India, said “The best part about this machine is that you can attach it inline to any printing press and complete printing as well as finishing in one go. It will save on turnaround time while producing high-quality finishing.”
