The Italian company, based in Turin, has pledged to donate 5% of the Fespa sales of its DP-PM CV Smart Series to Médecins Sans Frontières' Nepal earthquake appeal.
The range, under worldwide patent, features a continuous vacuum degassing pump system with full pump immersion which means that the polymers are applied without air bubbles or crystallisation.
Executive manager Silvia Gastaldi said the range runs at two to three 1,200x500mm sheets per minute and costs from £20,000 up to £80,000.
The DP1, DP2 and PM1 CV Smart 700 xz uses drops. The PM2 CV Smart 700 xyz, the PM3 CV Smart 1400xyz and PM4 CV18 4P 1200 xyz can also do lettering and micro lettering. “It’s very thin,” Gastaldi said. “The PM4 can do up to 1,000 labels in 25 seconds.”
The company’s clients are mainly screen printers.
Fellow Italian company Esanastri, which has developed an automatic weeding machine, the Galileo, is a customer – and won a Fespa Award by using the company’s Kromex technology on Tuesday.
Gastaldi added: “Fespa is always the best show for us. It is efficiently concentrated on our customers. If you do it in Germany everybody comes, but if you move it out of Germany you have problems.”
The company has been developing resin doming technology for 35 years and has sites in the US and Brazil as well as Italy.
