The machine

By perfectly integrating the new generation of electronics and ergonomically designed mechanical components, the machine is made to deliver optimum performance and productivity.

Pelican’s range of converting equipments is designed and developed to achieve high standards in flexible packaging. Its state-of-the-art technology offers excellence in converting solutions.

Frame Structure

Distinctively designed strong and sturdy, heavy-duty steel frame structure, completely machined on CNC-VMC, maintains accuracy over long dependable life and ensures less vibration even with optimum line speed.

The mechanical construction of each component, which undergoes extensive tests, ensures optimum performance and longer equipment life.

Impression Cylinder Assembly

High-precision grounded, chrome/nickel plated central impression Cylinder: Precisely ground with closer TIR tolerance, assembled on high precision bearings, double wall structured for water circulation.

Control system

Master operator control panel and remote operator control panel consists touch screen operating interface facilitates ease in operation.

Safety of operator, machine and electronic modules are achieved with the help of necessary hardware protection and intelligent software routines.

Web Tension Control

Multi drive servo driven automatic web tension control systems : Load cell based closed loop servo motor control & drive on (I) Unwind (II) Main motor (III) Out-feed (IV) Rewind.

Unwind : Auto web tension control system by using latest generation AC servo motor and drive.
Main Drive : AC servo motor and drive. Out-feed : The system maintains set tension between last printing unit and out-feed precisely and isolates the printing units from tension disturbance of the rewinding zone. The system mainly composed of matt chromium plated steel roller AC servo motor and drive.
Rewind : Auto web tension control system by using latest generation AC servo motor and drive.

Unwind & Rewind Group

Web guiding system for unwind station.
Air Shaft and Safety chucks on unwind and rewind station.

Idle Rollers

Specially designed, dynamically balanced low friction-low inertia idle rollers made of Aluminum alloy, mounted on low friction bearings, enhance rotational smoothness.

Plate Cylinder Group

Hydraulic throw-off system for plate cylinder with separate hydraulic motor ensures continuous rotation of anilox roller which will not allow ink dry-up during machine stop operation.

Ceramic Anilox Rollers

Robotic plasma coated and laser engraved with improved cell structure ceramic anilox rollers with quick change over mounting arrangement.

Chamber Doctor Blade

Specially designed chamber doctor blade group, ensure straight profile of the blade resulting in lesser chamber pressure, better print quality & longer anilox roll life.

Drying & Exhaust System

Drying Chamber: Mainly consists of AC frequency drive controlled heavy-duty blower with connection duct and dampers to balance fresh and recycling air.

The optimized air flow, minimizes heat consumption and avoid solvent retention in the printed substrates. Central Exhaust System: AC frequency drive controlled solvent extraction system to exhaust contaminated air from all the print stations through central duct.

Motorized Web Video Inspection System

Motorized web video inspection system consists of high quality CCD color camera, Industrial PC & Monitor (facilitates sequential inspection of the lateral and entire print repeat of the web).

Motorized Ink Pump

Speed variable, air motorized Ink pump on each station with ink flow/pressure adjusting valve

OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS

Viscosity Control system
An individual system for each printing unit measures and controls the viscosity of the ink. The system is having features like Automatic calibration of the viscosity, Automatic rinsing, Programmable process parameters, Synoptic display of the alarms, Function chronometer at the unit, self cleaning operation etc.

Turret System

Turret system with flying splice facilitates automatic reel change-over without stopping the machine. The whole function is controlled and supervised by the high performance PLC/PPC.
The system mainly composed of push button initiated motorized rotating disc, pneumatically loaded automatic splicing arm, PU covered pasting roller and cutting blade assembly etc.
Pneumatically expanded shafts and safety chucks to hold the reels.
