In August this year, Sunrise located in St. Petersburg, Russia installed their third MPS flexo printing press: a 9-colour EFA 430. To increase production capacity and reduce lead times, the new press will run in tandem with one of two previously installed MPS flexo presses of a similar configuration.  

The installation was led by technical specialists from Ogard, the Russian representative of MPS Systems. The fully automated, servo-driven flexographic EFA machine has a print width of 430 mm and is designed for printing self-adhesive labels and flexible packaging.

Press features include a proprietary automatic print control system (APC) on each of the nine printing units, UV dryers, a movable in-register laminator unit, the MPS web turner bar with multilayer label printing modules, delam/relam unit, as well as a double-sided web cleaning system, corona treatment and a Quick Change Die cutting station.
