FLEXIBLE PACKAGING
Kohli said that the press was designed with machine operators in mind . All operational parts and assemblies are positioned at a convenient height for quick and easy accessibility . In addition , the press has a unique catwalk along with the machine and across the units so that operators can walk inside each drying area for quick and safe web threading , easy cleaning , and maintenance of rollers and nozzles .
The Thea 9one8 3.0 repeat demonstration emphasized its XYS , IRIS , K-Online , and K-Live automation and IoT features . These automation modules provide the press its smart recipe management . It can memorize the print cylinder position for length inside registration , web tension , temperature of drying hoods , and web speed . These are the four critical parameters that any traditional gravure press requires and memorizes . Kohli added that the Thea 9one8 3.0 even remembers the impression nip pressure , doctor blade pressure , lay on roll pressure , the ambient temperature , and the cold-water temperature for the chilling system .
With the K-Online tool , real-time monitoring is available for energy consumption , compressed air pressure , the static charge on the web , the print repeat of the web under production , and earthing leakage resistance . In addition , K-Online offers online access to energy management , recipe management , machine time management , production management , historical trends for temperatures and web tension , and web speed .
The K-Live feature provides live production data anytime , anyplace , and on any smart device . Also , the K-Smart feature offers QR codes for easy traceability of each rewind throughout the production workflow processes .
The press is highly environmentally friendly as it is compatible with waterbased inks , and customers can also use in-line LED-UV and EB curable inks and systems . Using the LEL sensors , customers can safely recirculate the air in each dryer unit to achieve an average for the complete press , reducing energy consumption by a minimum of 30 %.
