Hybrid UV Drip-off Machine
28 / 58
Build texture in two coordinated stages.
The Hybrid UV Drip-off Machine combines an offset unit and a flexo unit for offline textured coating. It supports drip-off, spot, selective non-coated areas and full coating on printed substrates.
A water-cooled UV interdeck cassette provides partial curing after the first station. A combination UV, IR and hot-air dryer follows the second station, with an automatic stacker completing the sequence. Two published formats cover different sheet and coating sizes at a stated maximum of 6,000 impressions per hour.
