Leading global manufacturer of print and packaging technologies, BOBST has revealed the latest addition to its lineup, the new EXPERTFOLD 165 e-commerceversion. Indeed, the larger version of the high-tech EXPERTFOLD 145 l 165 folder-gluer is now available with innovations for digital retail.

Already featuring a highly configurable and modular design, delivering unmatched flexibility and versatility, two new modules have been added to the 165 version: POLYVACUUM and GYROBOX. Their objective is to add value under the pressures of e-commerce. Already available for the MASTERFOLD 170 and 230, these two unique modules have been customized for the EXPERTFOLD 165 and are now available on this flagship for the folding-gluing of litho-laminated boxes. The launch demonstrates the BOBST approach to product development, meeting the changing needs of converters head-on.

POLYVACUUM was designed to unlock versatility. Bespoke upper transports allow the installation of external application tools, while the lower vacuum transports ensure extremely stable transport of the blanks. POLYVACUUM allows to fit special folding devices as well as in-line applicators of strips and self-adhesive tapes, needed for e-commerce boxes.

GYROBOX is a system that can pivot blanks at any angle from 0° to 180° in the running direction. Enabling converters to keep pace with heightened e-commerce demands, GYROBOX rotates boxes that normally require two passes in one single pass. The system can rotate left to right or right to left, allowing even complex boxes to be run at speeds of up to 250 m/min. Even when GYROBOX is not used, blanks can be folded and glued without any hindrance at full machine speed. This unique module enables the fast and cost-efficient production of speciality boxes, further increasing the great potential for diversification, together with POLYVACUUM.

Pierre Binggeli, Product Line Director Folder-gluers at BOBST, comments: “Across the retail sector, there has been an unmistakable surge in e-commerce as shoppers quickly turned to online during the pandemic. This brings added pressures onto brands and converters they rely on. As ever, we evolve our products to meet the needs of converters right here, right now – and in the future. With the EXPERTFOLD 165 e-commerce version, we’re offering a dedicated evolution of our tried and tested machine with additional tools for digital retail.”

A rapid turnaround from clicks to delivery is essential to sales and the customer experience. The right machinery in place can therefore make all the difference. “EXPERTFOLD 165 e-commerce produces a wide range of boxes in a single production line, with efficient production even for complex boxes. What is more, the technology has simple handling for shorter make-ready and more uptime, adding more value for the converter. As with all BOBST machines, complex technology is made simple with an operator-friendly user interface, with simple setup. We are pleased to bring a new powerhouse machine to the market and once again demonstrate why BOBST is the go-to name for packaging innovation,” concludes Pierre Binggeli.

Able to support digital transformation for packaging converters, the machine is equipped with MATIC automation technology and remote control. The swift setups and changeovers are also due to the fact that the entire folder-gluer and the different modules are managed through an HMI, allowing users to save and retrieve settings on demand. Ready for the transition to Industry 4.0, the EXPERTFOLD is already available with Helpline Plus and BOBST Service Apps, allowing remote access for fast and effective production monitoring and assistance. Indeed, the new EXPERTFOLD 165 e-commerce version meets the need for diversification and productivity, while also providing cost-efficient, future-proof converting.

UK-based UV curing specialists introduce fully air-cooled UV LED curing system

UV curing specialists GEW have announced the launch of a major new product for both the company and the narrow web printing market. AeroLED is a fully air-cooled, high power UV LED system for full cure, printing, coating and converting applications up to 60cm wide. AeroLED delivers power and reliability with a totally unique concept which eliminates many of the operational problems in existing air-cooled LED systems on the market. Moreover, the innovative design makes AeroLED extremely cost-effective and step changes the accessibility of LED printing.

In an AeroLED system, the first significant innovation is in the air-cooling process. Cool, filtered air is distributed from a single centralised fan sited away from the press and exits through the UV lampheads, for quiet and reliable operation. The remote positioning of the fan avoids common problems caused by ink mist and dust ingress, while large air filters reduce the filter replacement cycle. There is no need for integrated fans or electronics in the individual lampheads, which eliminates the high pitched noise and contamination issues that these bring. AeroLED features the same LED chassis and core components as GEW’s LeoLED lamphead, for proven reliability straight from launch day. As with LeoLED, the new lamp uses GEW’s standard cassette design for easy maintenance, with tough watertight seals to protect the LED modules from ingress and to make cleaning easy and safe. Every aspect of the design has been carefully considered to deliver robust performance and long-term reliability.

AeroLED’s efficient optical design enables the lowest energy usage of all GEW products. This delivers energy savings of typically 50-70%, when compared to a conventional UV arc system. In addition to offering greatly reduced operating costs, printers upgrading to LED are able to free up a significant level of mains capacity, which can then be used to install new machinery and subsequently increase production capability. Two AeroLED systems have a lower electrical supply requirement than just one conventional arc UV system.

In addition to the sustainability benefits of AeroLED, GEW highlight the ease of installation to those considering a retrofit upgrade. Robert Rae, Managing Director of Sales at GEW, explains: “As AeroLED has GEW’s familiar E2C cassette design, upgrading an E2C system with RHINO/RLT power only requires switching to the AeroLED lampheads and the addition of a fan filter unit. All other components on press remain the same. This means that a retrofit upgrade can be implemented in as little as one day, and makes AeroLED the most cost-effective route to LED printing available, worldwide.” He adds: “Those new to GEW products will find the cost of a complete new AeroLED upgrade to be highly competitive, and something that pays for itself typically within two years through energy savings, not to mention the increased productivity that LED systems bring to press.”

A further advantage of LED in the curing process is its predictability and stability of UV output. AeroLED delivers a step change in process control by ensuring stable UV output year after year, and eliminates the uncertainty of conventional UV lamps, reflectors and mechanisms to ensure consistent production quality.

As is the case with all new GEW UV products, AeroLED uses GEW’s RHINO power supply and control range, for ultimate reliability with Industry 4.0 approved, IoT Remote Monitoring as standard.

UV LED is no longer just a technology for the future, it has become an essential technology for the present day. This change has been driven by the recent and dramatic increases in global energy prices, creating an unprecedented demand for low-energy, sustainable LED solutions as well as improved ink technology and availability. Technological advancement is leading to ever more efficient and cost-effective UV LED products, as is demonstrated by the introduction of AeroLED.

Robert Rae summarises his view on the current market: “At GEW we are seeing a record number of orders across all system types and LED business significantly increasing from both OEMs and end customers alike. In the next two years, LED could reach 50% of GEW’s output and we are gearing up for this, with a recent major investment in further new UK production facilities.” He concludes: “With the introduction of AeroLED, with its unique concept and highly competitive cost, the case for printers to upgrade to LED is stronger than ever before. The opportunities are huge and we are convinced LED will soon become the dominant technology in our narrow web market.”

For many years Mark Andy has been proud of its initiatives that support school pupils and university students in extending their technological knowledge. These include open houses, workshops, and competitions, like the Mark Andy Student Awards, as well as internal traineeships with the Company’s Polish division. This year saw the launch of a new Mark Andy project that supported Julia Wojciechowska in the tests relating to her engineering qualification. It allowed Julia, who is a student of the Printing Technologies Unit, part of the Faculty of Production Engineering at Warsaw Technical University, to compare flexo and digital printing technology using Mark Andy presses.

“We were very delighted to help Julia with the preparation of her engineering thesis. The tests were conducted in cooperation with our partners: DuPont, Flexmar prepress studio, and Albi 2002, which uses Mark Andy presses,” says Lena Chmielewska-Bontron, European Marketing Manager at Mark Andy. “We know that students are always looking for this type of opportunity, and as a manufacturer and vendor of printing equipment we are always open for such initiatives. We were also pleased to involve our partners in this project, DuPont who supplied us with flexo plates that were imaged by Flexmar Studio, and Albi 2002, who conducted the tests on one of its Mark Andy flexo presses.”

Julia Wojciechowska explained that it is not easy for a student to find support of this kind as it involves time and financial commitment. “Mark Andy said ‘yes’ immediately when I asked them about this project – and they also invited other partners to get involved. I have received substantial support from Mark Andy, starting with the subject of my engineering thesis. Initially it covered a comparison of flexo with other printing technology, but it ended up including flexo and toner-based digital presses too. The research was very interesting for me, and Mark Andy’s employees helped me with their knowledge, experience, and commitment at every stage of the project. I should like to take this opportunity to thank my promoter, Katarzyna Pilczynska, who helped me to contact Mark Andy. I also wish to thank Mark Andy and its partners who supported me in the whole research project.”

Lena Chmielewska-Bontron adds: “For us it was also a new and interesting experience. We have been involved for many years in initiatives devoted to school and university students, so we were very keen to help Julia with her thesis. We will also use the results of her project in our daily work. I should also like to thank our partners for their support with this project.”

Tomasz Nojszewski, Sales Manager NCE DuPont Image Solutions, says: “DuPont has supported numerous initiatives concerning education and knowledge development among school and university students. We do it either on a global or a local level. So, when we heard about a common project with Mark Andy, it was quite natural to take part in it. We supplied Cyrel EASY ESX flexo plates as our material support. Based on a flat dot technology, they guarantee the highest printing quality. We have cooperated with Mark Andy for many years and previously took part in open houses and workshops organised by the company. This was a good opportunity for us to present the newest trends on flexo plate market. Another important activity is our more than 10-year cooperation with the Printing Technologies Unit at the Faculty of Production Engineering at Warsaw Technical University. We have equipped one of its labs with a UVA/UVC exposure unit as well as processor for dry plate finishing in Cyrel FAST technology. We also set up numerous lectures by DuPont representatives for the students. Backed by 50 years of experience in flexo plate development, DuPont is very keen to share its knowledge, both with our customers and with students. Supporting Julia’s project was one of the best examples of our approach.”

Marek Biedrzycki, owner of Flexmar prepress studio, says: “Since we support many different education-oriented actions, we were pleased to prepare and deliver photopolymers for the project. Earlier, we also organised practice sessions for students in our prepress studio. When Mark Andy asked us about support for Julia, we agreed immediately. We checked the jobs she prepared and made the photopolymers to print them. It was similar to our daily work where we support customers at every step of prepress process, prior to printing on a flexo press.”

The need to compare toner-based digital and flexo technology meant that the jobs had to be printed in two places. The digital work was carried out in the Warsaw-based Mark Andy demo room, equipped with a Digital Pro3 toner-based press. The flexo part was printed by Albi 2002 – the Warsaw label printer and user of two Mark Andy Performance Series P5 flexo presses, one of which was used for the test. Robert Cabaj, the owner of Albi 2002, says: “Our long-term experience with the modern technology we use, and a highly equipped machine park enables us to print the highest quality. So, we were very pleased to take part in this project and support Julia in her engineering thesis. We are always very open for this kind of education-oriented initiative, both now and in the future.”
