20SEVEN CI flexo press (Bobst)

The very latest press in the range of BOBST CI flexo printing solutions, the 20SEVEN sums up the objectives of BOBST’s continuous updating and upgrading of its flexo printing technology aimed at maximizing process consistency and delivering solutions which are ready to take on the future requirements of packaging.

The 20SEVEN delivers increased efficiency with conventional printing, and the notable improvements in mechanical design and process control make the machine a perfect fit for the requirements of the 7-color Extended Color Gamut printing process. The 20SEVEN can be customized to special production requirements with a number of options such as downstream flexo units, gravure printing units and turning bars for reverse printing.

With all 20SEVEN models, the CI frames and print units uncompromisingly follow the same design principle of highest mechanical rigidity and state-of-the-art drive and control technologies.

The new triLOCK system featuring an exclusive BOBST 3-point controlled high torque locking mechanism driven on two opposite linear guides that matches the highest print quality requirements of the Extended Color Gamut process. By eliminating manual locking, the system avoids process inconsistency and even the slightest deviation from the perfect positioning.

Controlled inking is of great importance in ECG printing and the new features of the smartFLO inking system and chamber doctor blade, optimizing the temperature and flow of ink, deliver predictable, stable and controlled printing results with both solvent-based and water-based inks. This enables users to take full advantage of the opportunities of ECG to reduce manufacturing costs, increase consistency, and reduce errors and variables due to manual setting.
