When we started the ALPHAFLEX project, we thought we knew how it would turn out: a budget-friendly flexo printing machine, an entry-level option, reduced to the max.
But just a few months later …
The automatic bearings, for example. Our engineers reinvented the way we lock the shafts, that hold the adapters, sleeves and plates.
Lowest bounce in this class.
500 m/min
Not just theoretically. By 500, we mean with any design – even complex and demanding ones – including full whites and all the magic that today’s brands use.
Global brand
8 colors
Maximum ink coverage
Surface print on film
That was one of the key moments when we developed the ALPHAFLEX. We made a conscious choice to leave the lowest price segment. With only a small step up, we could achieve an incredible value for money.
We redesigned the doctor blade chambers.
No more repeat length errors: Live monitoring and correction during production
We added a pump system that simplifies washups, saving time and ressources.
We lowered drying energy consumption by up to 25%
40% longer drying tunnel. For those 500 m/min.
… plus the winder and 34 more ideas we’d rather introduce in a personal meeting.
But even the smartest German engineering, the best machine, is just one dimension of excellence in flexo printing. You know that. Getting it right in quality, in know-how, in productivity and competitiveness is a craft only few truly master. And meanwhile, job batches become smaller and smaller and every customer, every brand expects even more complex designs for even lower prices.
The ALPHAFLEX features EASY Setup – our assistance system that turns setup from a manual challenge into a guided process. It reduces operator workload, prevents costly errors and keeps production moving. As we said: It’s not just the machine – it’s the whole process we are looking at.
We designed the ALPHAFLEX as an extremely powerful tool. It helps you to stay ahead – or reach that next level.
