The Comet RS is a narrow web flexographic label and packaging press for labels, special packaging materials and folding box cartons, which is produced in 4 web widths...

270mm, 340mm, 430mm and 530mm.

The machine is equipped with the latest converting track to allow for converting models to be added to the track for multi-converted products. It has very fast make-ready features with a slide-out Ink Tray cassette which includes tool-less change-over for the anilox metering and print cylinders.

The un-wind and re-wind of the Press is controlled by a unique closed loop tension control plus a variable in-feed, and automatic tension control for excellent Web-print results.

The Print Unit has a special mounting system for exchanging print cylinders. A special contact between the anilox and print cylinder provides superb print results. The registration of the print can be adjusted linear and lateral when the press is in operation during printing.

The Ink Tray has a design to allow for the use of all types of inks; from water based, solvent and UV, allowing to maintain good print speeds when running the Press.

The diameter of the  anilox roller exceeds the standard industry requirement, which allows for better print quality when in contact with the printing plate.

The Press can be custom-made to meet the customer’s requirements with up to 12 Print Towers, in-keeping with Berkeley Machinery’s unique design service. The converting features can be designed to meet the clients needs.

The  Press can be built from 1 to 4 die-cutting stations, a sheeting station, lamination facility, numbering, and special features. Web-video monitoring and inline personalisation can also be added along with an in-line cold and hot foil facility.
