During the event, Prati and Gallus demonstrated the complete label printing process workflow, ranging from printing on the Gallus EM280 to slitting and rewinding on the Jupiter TC400.

A company statement released by Prati says, “With its ability to process a wide range of substrates from flexible packaging to cardboard and from paper labels to booklets, the Jupiter TC400 covers the needs of the most demanding customers.”

At the event, the demonstrations focused on two typical job outputs, the first with film substrates and the second with self-adhesive paper labels.

Prati says when processing film substrates, the machine is equipped with three different rewinding tension measurements that are controlled by the Varycontrol software.

As a result, the material is kept in constant web tension avoiding any stretching of the flexible substrate. An air-driven separator allows rewinding of all rows in a single shaft without crossing the substrates or damaging the web edges.

The company continues, “The Jupiter TC400 activates the inspection system when processing self-adhesive labels. A missing label or the presence of waste and flags forces the web to move to the correction table.”

“For the rewinding process, the Varycontrol system keeps a steady tension on the plank and a variable tension on the substrate, therefore obtaining large size reels without any conical distortion.”
