The flexographic market is going through a technological growth explosion, which has spurred innovation at Edale. Converters are no longer simply looking for a faster press – they are looking for ways to make their entire production operation more efficient and more profitable. This technology will be showcased at LOUPE Americas.
“The United States, Canada, and LATAM are important growth markets for Edale, and we are investing in building a presence and commitment on the continent,” states Andre Beaudoin, business development, Edale. “Being part of the wider Canon organization also provides an important platform in the Americas, giving us the opportunity to leverage Canon’s presence and relationships while continuing to bring Edale’s specialist flexographic expertise to the market.
To meet demand, Edale has engineered the FL4p, which will be highlighted at LOUPE Americas. This precision-focused label press has been developed specifically around the needs of modern label converters, with a strong emphasis on automation, fast changeovers, consistent quality, a fast ROI, and making every run more profitable.
Edale’s latest innovation focuses on the tagline, “Turn Potential into Performance.” Its flexo presses incorporate automation and servo-driven technology designed to simplify operation, improve repeatability and reduce the time and materials required to get jobs into production.
“We always look at technology from the converter’s perspective,” remarks Beaudoin. “The important question isn’t simply what technology we can put on a press; it is how that technology improves the economics of production.”
Edale has developed its portfolio to address different stages of a converter’s investment journey. The FL4e has been designed to provide an easier and more accessible entry point into flexographic production. Meanwhile, the press maintains the high engineering standards and quality associated with Edale.
In addition to the FL4p, Edale will highlight the wider development of its portfolio at LOUPE Americas. This includes the FL6p, the company’s fully servo-driven carton press, which has been developed for the demands of modern folding carton production that also includes single pass product embellishment when needed.
