D&K announces Ipex line-up

Finishing equipment manufacturer D&K has announced a raft of equipment and film launches for this year's Ipex.

Among the new releases will be a DS addition to the Jupiter range.

According to D&K, the B2 Jupiter DS, a single- or double-sided laminator, is compact, something for which the range is renowned, despite the ability to laminate two-sides in one pass. 

Sales manager John Hancock said: "We have concentrated on ways of increasing productivity so the Jupiter DS is now fitted with electrically heated rollers, rather than the oil filled versions.

"This results in quicker heat-up times. Cool-down periods are also reduced, meaning quicker changes between single- and double-sided work."

Also getting debuts at the event in May will be the Pictor, an industrial quality 1/2-side laminator designed for short runs, and a scruff resistant ultra matt film, that is being rolled out in a polyester range.
