Working Principle

1. Material Feeding: The printing process begins with the feeding of the flexible packaging material, such as paper, film, or foil, into the press. The material is typically unwound from a roll and guided through the machine.

2. Ink Supply: The ink is supplied to the printing units of the CI Flexo Press. Each printing unit contains an ink chamber or fountain that holds and controls the flow of ink. The ink is transferred to the printing plates or cylinders.

3. Plate Cylinder: The printing plates, which are typically made of flexible polymer material, are mounted onto plate cylinders. These cylinders rotate and transfer the ink onto the material being printed.

4. Central Impression Drum: The central impression drum is a key component of the CI Flexo Press. It is a large cylinder that supports the material as it passes through the printing units. The drum rotates, facilitating the contact and transfer of ink from the printing plates to the material.

5. Printing Process: As the material passes through the printing units, the inked printing plates come into contact with the material on the surface of the central impression drum. The ink is transferred from the plates to the material, creating the desired image or design.

6. Drying/Curing: After the ink is applied to the material, it needs to be dried or cured to ensure proper adhesion and to prevent smudging or smearing. Various drying methods can be employed, such as hot air drying, UV curing, or solvent evaporation, depending on the ink and material used.

7. Rewinding: Once the printing process is complete, the printed material is rewound into a roll or sheet format, ready for further processing or packaging.

The CI Flexo Press employs a central impression drum and multiple printing units to achieve precise registration and high-quality printing on flexible packaging materials. The continuous feeding, ink supply, plate cylinder, and central impression drum work in synchronization to ensure accurate ink transfer and consistent printing results.
