Edale to showcase a deconstructed FL3 for Label Expo 2019

Friday 30. August 2019 - Edale will break from convention at this years Labelexpo by showcasing an interactive display of its label printing technologies rather than the traditional behind the rope label printing display.

James Boughton MD of Edale Ltd said “Our objective is to give prospective clients the chance to touch, feel and interact with our key technologies. Fundamentally we all know how to print a quality label so we want to show close up how this is done with an Edale press. Furthermore, the reason to be at the show is to network with customers and for customers to connect with Edale. By having the stand largely manned by engineers rather than salespeople we feel this gives a unique chance for open and productive discussions. Edale is all about listening and developing relationships with customers old and new, this format will create that open, interactive experience that defines Edale and its values”.
The modules displayed include two FL3 430 wide print stations, the first with a chilled LED UV and the second with an extended UV chilled web path. The new FL3 print station now features more automation as standard (AiiR) which includes motorised inking & impression as well as motorised linear and lateral register control.
Edale will also be showcasing their latest technology the new ‘EZ Die’ enabling the operators to change a die tool in less than 60 seconds. Benefits of this include pre-registration of the tool, motorised cross register and pre-setting and automatic waste matrix pick up.
Located at the “Print Bar” on the stand will be the Edale EFX Print Bar which is a high precision, UV based inkjet system designed to digitise print finishing and embellishment. Available in three configurations including -Digital white, Digital cold foil or high build.
Also being demonstrated at the show is an FL5 Print station, 510mm wide. The FL5 is suitable for the production of short run, single pass folding cartons and can be run in line with the Edale Flatbed die cutter.
Edale Ltd the leading UK Manufacturer of high technology, narrow-mid web flexographic and digital printing presses and converting equipment will be exhibiting at the upcoming Label Expo held at Brussels Expo from 24th-27th September 2019.
