Zircon chooses Vetaphone for its narrow web presses

Sanjeev Sandhi, managing director of Zircon Technologies

Zircon Technologies, one of India’s leading label and packaging converters, is installing an Omet Varyflex 670 press fitted with a Vetaphone corona treater at its production plant in Dehradun. The company already has Vetaphone corona technology on its existing two Omet and seven Mark Andy presses.

Started in 2007, the company produces over 40 million square meters of printed materials annually, servicing various sectors including food and beverage, healthcare, industrial, and pharmaceuticals. Its product range spans from labels and flexible packaging to anti-counterfeiting and brand authentication items, alongside shrink sleeves, pouches, and blister packs. With operations across five sites, the company employs a workforce of 450 individuals.

With a high-quality portfolio of international brand owners to service, Sanjeev Sandhi, managing director of Zircon Technologies, places emphasis on providing end-to-end support from research and development to the delivery of the final product. Sandhi says, “We have stringent quality and delivery processes in place to ensure our products can be put straight onto our customers’ production lines at the time requested – what’s more, we can automate production for a seamless solution.”

When working with PE and aluminum foil materials, corona treatment is invariably necessary to ensure effective ink adhesion. Two of the Mark Andy presses are equipped with Vetaphone corona technology, along with the Omet VaryFlex 430 flexo press, which is customized with proprietary web passes and attachments to fulfill Zircon’s specific requirements. Fitted with automatic registration control and the facility to print back and front in a single pass, the Omet is capable of printing substrates from 12-micron film to 600-micron board.

Since Mark Andy and Omet stand out as key OEM customers of Vetaphone, Zircon found it straightforward to select the Danish company’s corona technology. The Mark Andy presses are fitted with VE1A-A corona treaters with four ceramic electrodes in their removable cartridges. Each has an iCorona-1UL generator, one with 1.5 kW power, and the other with 2kW. The Omet has two VE1A-A treaters with four ceramic electrodes and 2kW iCorona generators.

With esteemed clients like Diageo, Yamaha, and Pernod Ricard among its 300 customers, Sandhi recognizes that only cutting-edge technology can enable him to meet the high-quality standards required. “I am very satisfied with the Omet-Vetaphone combination – it allows our team of skilled professionals to offer customers what they want, when they want it, and at a quality and price that meet their expectations.”
