The lightest, most rigid and most stable sleeves for flexo
For printing all kinds of materials, on both wide-web and narrow-web presses.
The seal stops solvent and ink from getting in, which is what finishes off most sleeves.
They absorb frontal impacts, so they don’t get damaged prematurely when mounting and dismounting.
Reinforced register notches in any wall thickness and an integrated cutting guide that makes positioning easier.
Wall thickness from 0.9 to 195 mm · maximum length 1,800 mm · working temperature up to 80 °C · they mount on an air cylinder with 6 bar and 12 litres per second
The sleeve is built on a glass fibre base and closed with a polished 5 mm outer layer, the one that takes the plate. What changes from one to the other is the number of layers, and with it the stiffness.
Standard
Glass fibre base, compressible layer, high-performance foam, glass fibre reinforcement and outer layer. Light, for everyday work.
Reinforced
It adds a second foam and a second glass fibre reinforcement: more stiffness, conductive properties and less bounce at high speed.
The register notch has stainless steel embedded in a rigid composite: it holds the sleeve in place under pressure and speed, and protects the positioning pins of the press.
Every sleeve comes with a zero axial register line, and the diameter tolerance is ±0.020 mm. That repeatability is what lets the plate be mounted always in the same position, also when an automated system mounts it.
On request, additional axial or radial lines and register slots on one or both sides.
With BS pneumatic technology. The mounting layer optimises vibration damping and the honeycomb structure provides rigidity without weight.
The lightweight-body alternative, for easy, fast and high-precision mounting.
