Flexo with Downstream Units

The Downstream Unit is an additional component for flexo machines, that allows various additional finishes to the print. It can be used to print an additional color with water, solvent, UV, EB inks or to apply coatings such as varnishes/lacquers for aesthetic effects or protective functions. 

 

Additional varnishes or inks can be applied in line, without switching to offline processes, reducing downtime and greatly increasing efficiency and productivity. Downstream Units are suitable for coating of heavy weights, carrying up to 4 times paint compared to a standard Flexo color unit.

 

Moreover, our flexo machines can be equipped with downstream units for laminating purposes, both with solventless or solvent-based adhesives.
