Comexi F2 Evolution
drupa is the starting point for the new generation of Comexi machines. To maintain the ergonomics and efficiency of the Comexi F2 presses, as well as obtain the highest performance and maximum printing quality with every automation and operator aids developed under GeniusTech technology, the new F2 evolution incorporates the latest advances in anti-bouncing systems (GeniusRun), inking systems (GeniusFlow and GeniusDoctoring) and drying efficiency (GeniusDry).
Comexi ML2
This laminator incorporates new fairings and optionals that will facilitate the conversion of flexible packaging, making the Comexi ML2 an increasingly efficient machine.
Among these options, the Comexi Closed Loop is prominent, which allows for the automatic adjustment of adhesive grammage without solvents while maintaining it throughout production. Furthermore, the automatic adjustment system of mark-to-mark cold seal registration, which avoids operator intervention and greatly reduces material waste and loss of setup time. Ultimately, the objective of these two systems is to facilitate job set-up and make machines more automatic.
Comexi S1 DS
The new Comexi S1 DS slitter is a double shaft machine with a focus on large output diameters, and has every available automation. It will be able to work at a speed of 3,280 fpm, making it the fastest machine in Comexi’s history. This slitter offers high efficiency regarding long runs, as well as optimum changing format agility.
Comexi D4 and Comexi Digiflex
After 67 years of providing solutions to the flexible packaging sector, Comexi will launch new digital technology machines, enabling the industry to meet the fast-growing needs of the market.
The Comexi Digiflex, an inline digital bar, which can be installed on analog presses, laminators and slitters, is a configurable machine and allows for the printing of variable data, including QR codes, Datamatrix, barcodes or numbering, among others, at a speed of 820 fpm. As a result of the inline UV low migration ink, printing with this machine is in compliance with the regulations of food packaging.
The new forthcoming Comexi D4 Water-Based Inkjet Digital press will be a completely configurable machine of 4 colors CMYK to 8 colors CMYK – OGV and white. This press will print at a high- and low-resolution speed of 246 fpm and 492 fpm, respectively.
As a result of this new technology and the knowledge of the flexible packaging market, Comexi will enable its customers to profitably and sustainably offer the best solutions in response to the current demanding needs of the market. In regard to this project, Comexi will works with the top market suppliers of inks and print heads, such as Sun Chemical and Fujifilm.
