Jackrom, a converter based in Venezuela, has invested in a ROTOCON RFP 660S flexo press as its dedicated roll-to-roll flexo press. The press comes alongside a ROTOCON RD 530mm rotary diecutting finishing machine.
Jackrom confirmed the order at ROTOCON Europe’s headquarters in Siek, near Hamburg, Germany.
The ROTOCON RFP S-Series is a modular sleeve-based flexographic printing press. It comes complete with triple servo-driven precision, fast job changeovers, and speeds up to 200 m/m. The press also combines advanced German engineering, automation, and efficiency. In the future, Jackrom can configure the press with a range of expandable smart modules. These include rotary screen printing, hot foil embossing, lamination, multi-layer and booklet labels, and more.
ROTOCON designed the RD 530 mm rotary diecutting finishing machine for wider label and flexible packaging applications. In addition, it features a servo-driven architecture for precision web handling and register control.
“With over 50 years of experience since our founding in 1972, our company’s identity is firmly rooted in our technical knowledge and manufacturing expertise,” states Susana Zaragoza, Jackrom’s managing partner and director of Development and Quality. “We are constantly looking for ways to elevate our know-how to offer the best solutions on the market. We decided to invest in ROTOCON because its technology perfectly aligns with this vision.
“By upgrading to the ROTOCON RFP 660S as a dedicated roll-to-roll flexo press, alongside the independent RD 530mm rotary diecutter, we are unlocking massive production efficiencies,” adds Zaragoza. “This specific setup allows us to be highly competitive and versatile across our two main business lines: high-volume cardboard packaging and flexible films for stand-up pouches. We expect these machines to drastically increase our output speed, reduce waste, and maintain the impeccable quality our clients demand.”
