At the next Drupa 2021, that will be held in Dusseldorf in April and at the next Plast 2021 in Milan in May, bfm will be present with a novelty for the flexographic printing sector: the new range is represented by a New flexo Stack type "SIRIO 6/8 COLORS S PLUS ".

The new Sirio is a 6/8 color "Stack type" machine, designed for printing on various plastic materials for the packaging market but also suitable for paper materials, in line with the extruder or from reel to reel.

The printing developments ranges from 350 to 1200 mm on widths from 800 to 1800 mm. The machine is composed of an unwinder with different solutions: fixed, shaft-less or revolver, 6/8 color printing unit with motorized counter-printing axis, electric grinding and pneumatic inking. The drying unit is composed of an intercolor system and a drying box with gas or electric heating and a winder with different winding possibilities. The maximum production speed is 250 meters per minute.

The employed technical contruction solutions , and the "CANTILEVER SYSTEM" for the change of "SLEEVES" for both anilox and clichè, have allowed to reduce drastically the work -changes.

The automation platform of this machine was designed with support from Bosch Rexroth, the industry leader in printing and converting machine automation

This model is the “right compromise” between cost and performance: in this case, the use of IndraDyn MBT torque motors, which move the color unit made up of counter roller -clichè-anilox, guarantees great dimensional compactness and the right printing precision. The use of the digital drives of the IndraDrive M series guarantees constant position synchronism between the different printing elements, with consequent maintenance of the register both at high speeds and during acceleration and deceleration. Initial registration is very quick and can also be performed when the machine is stopped, significantly reducing energy waste and material waste. Among the novelties of S-Plus, the new graphic interface, designed on 21 ”, is simple and intuitive but at the same time complete for the management of all the machine functions.
