The Robinette Company Invests in First
MIRAFLEX
Third Flexographic Press from W&H in Three Years
LINCOLN, RI, October 2008 – Windmoeller & Hoelscher Corporation announces the
sale of
a 52” (1,320 mm) 8-color MIRAFLEX CM printing press to The Robinette Company of Bristol,
TN, where it will be installed next to their other two W&H presses in the spring
of 2009.
W&H's MIRAFLEX CM was developed for economical, high-quality CI flexo printing
and introduced
to the public at INTERPACK 2008 and Drupa 2008. It is a perfect fit for The Robinette
Company,
a full-service flexible packaging and specialty converting manufacturer serving the
food, beverage, construction, textile and health care markets from two modern 100,000+
sq.ft. facilities in
Tennessee. “We chose the MIRAFLEX for several reasons: large diameter winders, high
speed,
fast change-overs, and the excellent W&H support”, explains Joe Robinette, President
of The
Robinette Company.
The MIRAFLEX CM features 8 color decks, a maximum material width of 52” (1,320 mm)
and a
maximum printing width of 50” (1,270 mm). The production speed is 1,640 fpm (500
m/min) and
print repeats range from 14.6” – 31.5” (370 – 800 mm). The press includes setting
of impressions,
51” winders, Turboclean 600A modular wash-up system plus a new design of carbon fiber
doctor
blade chambers for use with water-based inks.
Joe Robinette points out that his company is very pleased with the EASY-SET and uses
it on a
routine basis with good success.
