Lombardi's new version of the Invicta 630 for flexible packaging

With the formula 'Packaging & more' Lombardi Converting Machinery successfully experimented a personalised open door.

One week to present to selected international customers the mid web flexo press Invicta 630.

The event focused on the Invicta 630 (650cm wide belt) in a very innovative version. A real evolution, that allows to combine productivity with flexibility and operational simplicity, with absolutely new solutions on the flexo printing market for flexible film substrates.

Invicta 630 is an 8-color, full servo flexo press for flexible packaging, available with web widths of 450750mm. The gearless sleeve-based flexo press can run at up to 200m/min. Sleeve change is entirely automatic and conducted by the simple push of a button. This causes the sleeve the housing to open and the cylinder to move outwards. This gives the operator access to simply and rapid remove and replace the sleeve. After housing the new sleeve, this closes and the cylinder returns to correct position. Print quality is automatically controlled by Grafikontrol’s Quality Control system.

Presented in the reel-to-reel version with 8 sleeve printing units, the Invicta 630 has been conceived to be converted also into a pressure sensitive label machine, with the insertion of the die-cutting and waste recovery group. This 8 colours rotary machine has been presented to the world of printers as an "universal machine", without any limit of substrate (BOPP, PVC, PE, PET, paper, adhesive paper, thermal paper, cardboard, laminated materials) and as an "universal machine", without any limit of substrate (BOPP, PVC, PE, PET, paper, adhesive paper, thermal paper, cardboard, laminated materials) and as a "smart" one.

"Thanks to the Lombardi's philosophy of extreme modularity - explains Claudio Lombardi - the customer will never have to change the machine he has chosen, but will be able to adapt and implement it according to the needs of his future work."

We note the design with a very linear profile and the absence of flyers or mechanical systems on the printing units and we ask for reasons.

"Besides that the machine works perfectly - Lombardi proudly states - the Invicta 630 is also elegant, 'clean'." But he also remarks that the machine is technically innovative. "The change of sleeves is absolutely automatic and, as you can see, the operator must not use mechanical tools."

On this occasion, Lombardi has announced to introduce a ‘completely new project’ for Labelexpo Europe 2019.
