Melsungen. Pharmadrucker GmbH opened its doors in mid-May and, in cooperation with SCREEN Europe, presented modern solutions for the printing and finishing of package inserts. Selected partners and suppliers were given the opportunity to present their solutions for this area of application.
Particular attention was paid to the further processing of digitally printed leaflets from the roll. The trade fair was taken as an opportunity to invest early in a new outsert and insert folding machine from GUK. As a reliable and flexible partner and thanks to the good personal contact between Conrad and Felix Fischer and GUK sales manager Herbert Herrmann, the machine was built in record time and installed in time for the trade fair. GUK was thus able to offer visitors a valuable and exciting insight into reliable leaflet production on a brand new FA53 AT machine.
Equipped with unwinding and cross-cutting units from Hunkeler, the inkjet-printed 40gsm paper is fed into the folding machine. The paper printed on the digital printing systems from Screen currently has the best properties for further processing. The high quality requirements for package inserts are easily achieved on the GUK system. The folding units with up to 24 pockets can be set precisely using digital roller settings and are ideally equipped thanks to an hhs water groove and Xcam camera system. The 90 degree deflection module saves space and makes the machine extremely user-friendly. The additional modules, such as the Turn&Tab labeler, enable the production of tagserts in addition to outsert production. A high level of process stability is achieved and the high quality requirements are met with the label inspection and ejection diverter. The carefully selected, very international audience was visibly impressed by the high quality, durability and reliability of the system. The special thing for GUK was to have over 50 direct customers gathered in one place and to be able to inform and discuss current developments and challenges directly. As a solution provider, such intensive and informative discussions are important for decisions on future business development.
