Bobst has unveiled two new gravure presses, the RS 6002 and RS 6003, each designed to address specific market segments. Bobst is also confirming the re-design of its entire gravure range for flexible packaging, a program which began with the 2015 announcement of the RS 5002 press.
“The flexible packaging industry is becoming highly segmented, requiring geographically and sector-customized products,” Erik Bothorel, head of Bobst Business Unit Web-fed, said. “The RS 5002 gravure line, our first machine to address one specific segment, has been very successful in the emerging countries it was aimed at. The RS 6002 and RS 6003 are designed to bring this same segment-specific approach to other parts of the market.”
The RS 5002 and RS 6002 are available in 1200mm and 700–1300mm web widths respectively, and can run at a maximum speed of 350m/min. The RS 6003 is available in 800-1500 web widths and can run at 600 m/min.
"[The RS 6002] is a robust, reliable, high quality press,” Giovanni Caprioglio, sales director of the Bobst Gravure and Lamination Product Line, said. “The RS 6002, dedicated to sleeve cylinders, features a concentration of BOBST automation technologies that give it fast set-ups, and it is available at an attractive level of investment.” The RS 6002 is compatible with both short and long runs.
The RS 6003 offers a wide range of printing and converting options so users can create dedicated configurations to meet their specific production requirements. Bobst will continue to develop RS 6003 over the next several years.
