The new machine has been designed to provide a versatile finishing option for converters and offer a quick set-up for short runs of promotional labels in the food, beverage, wine, spirits, cosmetics, personal and home care applications.

Labelexpo Americas visitors can see DigifastOne in action, configured with an unwinder, automatic tension and end-of-reel control, web guide, digital screen unit, lamination unit, laser die-cutting station, a 100 percent vision system for in-line quality control, cutting and rewinding follow.

DigifastOne enables varnishing, die-cutting, counting, cutting and rewinding, and processing of a wide variety of materials, including self-adhesive labels, clear-on-clear (including AD-MDO and UPM PP30), wraparound labels, shrink sleeves, plastic films, unsupported paper, and plastic materials, in a wide range of thicknesses between 12 to 350 microns.

According to the company, thanks to the new Futura open-platform technology and the design for the needs of Industry 4.0, DigifastOne generates a small amount of waste material, significantly reduces set-up times and guarantees a register accuracy of 0.15 mm, even when reaching 100 m/min in the configuration with laser die-cutting.

‘Converters asked us for a non-stop solution: completely digital, both in finishing and die-cutting. No special tools are required to run the machine. A quick set-up is ensured thanks to the laser die-cutting unit, which offers the enormous advantage of not imposing limits on the size and shape of the labels,’ commented explains Matteo Bertoni, Prati area manager. ‘In addition, the DigifastOne is configurable with a double shaft turret rewinder, in combination with the buffer ensuring a non-stop finishing. With the turret rewinder, the operator no longer worries about the rewinding cycle. His work is limited to loading the cores and collecting the finished reels.’

Prati also takes part in the Digital Embellishment trail to explore the full range of digital decoration options, both stand-alone and in-line, with live demonstrations, sample packs, and experts on site to discuss how digital embellishment can transform a converting business.
