FLEXOGRAPHIC solutions

Built on proven web‑fed expertise, our FLEX Series benefits directly from KPS (formerly CPS) know‑how in flexographic printing.

We provide both full flexographic presses for premium folding carton production and flexo printing and coating units integrated in hybrid configurations to address a wide range of packaging applications.

These systems combine reliable and sturdy design with high‑quality print results across a wide range of substrates.

Key advantages:

  • Stable and consistent print quality over the entire run
  • Fast job changeovers and reduced waste
  • High flexibility across substrates and applications
  • Proven web handling and automation from Komori‑Chambon engineering

Main Applications

Komori-Chambon expertise

  • FLEX Series

     

    PrimoFlex, PowerFlex and TwinFlex machines are designed to cover from high‑performance printing to advanced dual-deck configurations, allowing converters to select the right solution for today’s requirements while securing long‑term production flexibility and growth.

  • Hybrid configuration

     

    Komori‑Chambon combines different printing technologies on one production line.

    This approach allows each process to be applied where it is most relevant while maintaining a controlled and consistent workflow.

  • Flexibility

     

    Each flexo unit is configured according to the ink types and related drying device.

    It ensures a fully optimized and controlled production flow.

  • Reliability

     

    Servo‑driven technology combined with advanced safety systems delivers accurate register, stable web control and reliable high‑speed operation.

  • ADDED VALUE

  • CHANGEOVER

  • The design to print is split by color and transfered onto flexible printing plates
  • The initial printing costs in flexo are low when conventional plates are used (rubber)
  • HD flexo plates (photopolymers) come at a higher price but deliver a higher printing quality.
  • Automatic circumferential and lateral registration
  • Automatic on/off from main desk of anilox roll and impression cylinder
  • Heater temperature controlled with pre-setting (air temperature).
  • The inking system includes: Chambered Doctor Blade System, Coating circulation and automated cleaning, Automatic internal functions
  • The driving and pressure adjustment of the printing cylinder and of the anilox cylinder are motorized as well as the side register setting
  • Ink circulation is controlled thanks to a viscosity and level regulation.
  • Depending on the ink type, water-based or solvent-based, the flexo unit in configured either for air drying or for UV or EB drying.
  • The web path is either vertical or horizontal.
  • Coating and reverse printing can be performed with the flexo units
  • Offset and rotogravure units can be combined depending on the job constraints
  • Job changes are easy to operate thanks to the ink washing sequence, the lightweight sleeve design and the semi-auto bearing parking sequence

Available configurations

  • Config 1

  • Config 2

  • Config 3

  • Config 4

ROLL TO ROLL By-pass

 

The press includes a rewinder right after the printing units
The converting stage will be proceeded offline

For more flexibility, the line can include a rotary die-cutter and a by-pass to transfer the web to the rewinder

ROLL TO ROLL Direct

The press includes a rewinder right after the printing units
The converting stage will be proceeded offline

ROLL TO BLANKS

 

The best configuration to take the maximum profit of your production line.

The inline rotary die-cutter, placed right after the printing stage, can be followed by a high speed delivery solution.

The carton roll is transformed into ready-to-ship blanks within 10 seconds.

ROLL TO SHEETS

The printed web can be converted in sheets thanks to a sheeter.

The sheets can be converted offline with a flat bed die cutter.
