Apex and BFM join forces to unveil innovative flexo stack press

July 21, 2021 Off By Sebastian Reisig

Free Registration is NOW OPEN for the July 8, 2021 live digital event unveiling BFM’s Sirio S-Plus equipped with Apex anilox sleeves

Broadcasting live from BFM’s Solbiate Olona headquarters in Italy, the unique technological innovations of the Sirio S-Plus will be unveiled, including:

  1. Consistently higher print quality;
  2. Better workflow efficiency and productivity through easy and precision-register job changes;
  3. Greater substrate flexibility thanks to the machine’s ability to process various types of polymeric or paper materials — including raw organic origin;
  4. Compact footprint, ergonomic lay-out, and modern design.

    The Sirio S-Plus press is a 6/8-color “stack type” machine designed for packaging printing on different plastic materials but also suitable for paper materials — either in-line with the extruder, or from reel-to-reel.

As a partner in BFM’s event, Apex International has supplied for the press eight next-generation HD Anilox Sleeves employing UltraCell+ engraving technology which enables stability and repeatability in the printing process, delivering accurate ink volumes for the consistent-quality results. Thanks to Apex’s proprietary UltraMelt laser-engraving process, UltraCell+ provides a more efficient ink-to-plate transfer, faster cleaning, and extremely high resistance to corrosion, scoring, and scratches.

The flexo community is invited to attend this at no-cost via live-streamed internet connection. BFM’s novel innovations deployed in its new press, in combination with Apex anilox sleeves, embody a distinct refinement and evolution of flexography.
