Caesarea, Israel-based Carmel Frenkel (a subsidiary of Hadera Paper) has purchased an EFI Nozomi C18000 single-pass, ultra-high-speed LED inkjet corrugated packaging press.
Carmel Frenkel will be one of the first companies worldwide to have the complete EFI ecosystem for corrugated production with the Nozomi press, the EFI Fiery NZ-1000 digital front end (DFE), the EFI Corrugated Packaging Suite manufacturing execution system (MES) business and production management workflow and EFI Escada corrugator control software. It is the EFI Nozomi press to be installed in the Middle East.
“We are committed to staying on the leading edge of packaging technology,” said Guy Frenkel, CEO of Carmel Frenkel. “We have invested considerable time and effort in evaluating the most-advanced digital corrugated technologies and, with this press, we know EFI is delivering an innovative technology that will be able to handle a variety of print jobs with faster throughput and high output quality.”
Scheduled for installation in the fourth quarter of this year, the Nozomi press delivers operating speeds up to 246 linear feet (75 linear meters) per minute, or up to 10,000 35x35-inch (89x89-centimeter) boards per hour two-up.
With EFI’s digital printing technologies, Carmel Frenkel can reduce turnaround times for new projects from weeks or months to just days and produce smaller quantities or versions of jobs – something that is too costly to achieve using analogue production methods.
“It is clear that the corrugated packaging market is evolving at a rapid pace and having the complete EFI ecosystem will definitely give Carmel Frenkel an innovative edge to continue to stay ahead of the market by delivering greater value to its clients,” said José Luis Ramón Moreno, VP and GM of industrial printing at EFI.
