New at Interpack: L333 wide-format flexographic printing machine

At Interpack, SIAT introduces the new L333, a wide-format flexographic printing machine developed to increase productivity by processing a wider web.

While the current range presents the traditional L-Series range with 150 mm input tape reel width, the L333 introduces a new wide-format approach with web width up to 300 mm. This allows customers to produce more finished rolls from a single jumbo log.

For example, from a 300 mm web, the machine can produce up to six rolls of 50 mm width.

Key strengths:

  • Wide-format web width up to 300 mm
  • Higher output per cycle
  • Up to 3 colours
  • More finished rolls from one jumbo log
  • Lower cost per roll
  • Reduced processing time
  • Adjustable spacers for different tape widths
  • Maximum roll diameter: 330 mm
  • Temperature management with heating or cooling according to material type
  • Optional primer, release coating, corona treatment and peristaltic ink pumps
  • Flexopol compatibility for in-house cliché production

The L333 is not just another model in the range: it introduces a productivity-driven approach. Instead of focusing only on speed, it focuses on output per cycle, material utilization and cost per roll.


Optional technologies across the range

The SIAT L-Series can be configured with several optional technologies depending on the material and process requirements. Such as: corona treatment, primer coating and release coating as key modules for different printing processes.

Main optional features include:

  • Corona treatment station
