Multivac has launched a new series of Baseline direct web printers for
thermoforming packaging machines in the lower and medium output range.
The main features of these cost-effective entry-level models in the Baseline DP 110/130 series are space-saving design, optimum hygiene characteristics and a high level of flexibility.
In addition to the proven DP 2×0 series, Multivac has developed two cost-effective entry-level models, the DP 110 and DP 130 direct web printers. Both can be installed on all thermoforming packaging machines from the R 0xx to R 5xx series.
The compact and space-saving design leaves the loading area completely free. Since no enclosure is required due to the stepper motor drives used, this means access to the printer is quick and easy.
There are three technologies available – thermal transfer, inkjet and thermal inkjet – all of which provide a reliable printing process.
Users of Multivac TTO (thermal transfer) printers also benefit from cost savings in ink ribbon consumption. These printers can be turned through 90 degrees, to print in both the pack running direction and across the packs. This means the most advantageous print direction for ink ribbon consumption can always be selected.
All Multivac direct web printers are specially designed for the particular packaging machine, and they therefore form a perfect unit as regards design and controls. The shifting indexers as well as the Multivac printers can be operated directly via the control terminal of the packaging machine. The operating parameters are saved via recipe management and automatically transferred at every batch change. This ensures rapid conversion to other products and pack sizes, which in turn provides a high level of line availability.
Operators also benefit from automatic print layout management via the Multivac HMI control terminal. When the recipe for a particular product is called up, the correct print layout is also loaded automatically. Operating errors can therefore be prevented from the start.
Multivac offers a comprehensive range of consumable materials, which is constantly being expanded. All the materials meet the highest quality standards and are perfectly tailored to the particular printing system.
