Industry Sectors : Labels (matrix extraction)

The Impact matrix removal system was developed to meet the needs of the modern label producer.

The system incoportates a special non-stick coating which combined with oil injection prevents the sticky pressure sensitive material sticking to the internal surfaces of the system.

The system can be fitted to any narrow web press up to 500mm wide and solves a previously impossible task of removing sticky matrix waste, eliminating the need to rewind the waste on press.

The system can be incorporated into an existing waste removal system or be supplied as part of a complete centralised system.

The Impact matrix removal unit can be fitted on the non-operator side of the printing press. Each unit incorporates a precision trim cutter to cut the continuous matrix into small manageable pieces.

The waste can be collected in a central location and removed from site without problems. Remove all types of matrix, including thin films Eliminates press down time Avoids print register re-adjustment Allows faster run speeds Removes rewind tension problems
