A prototype of a new generation Gallus press will be unveiled at the Gallus Innovation Days in Switzerland which runs from 20-22 September. The event looks set to attract about 1,000 visitors from all over the world.
The new generation of label press is equipped with flexo printing units and features an innovative new construction which can be configured to a customer’s requirement in terms of the level of automation or the web width. Gallus will launch the first series machines with a width of 440 mm. The future modular platform principle will make it possible to configure everything from basic models to fully equipped versions with varying degrees of automation, all to the known Gallus quality level.

With its maximum speed of 200 m/min and extremely short setup times, these printing presses are the fastest narrow-web machines that Gallus has ever built. The Gallus engineers paid particular attention to achieving the highest possible level of productivity, using features such as precise register accuracy regardless of speed, extremely straightforward operation even at low levels of automation, a very short web path from printing unit to printing unit and exceptionally easy changeovers. The first deliveries of these new machines are scheduled for the second quarter of 2017.
“Gallus Innovation Days are always popular and we believe this time round the new machine platform we will inspire our customers from all over the world,” says Matthias Marx, Head of Corporate Communications at Gallus Group..
The machines being demonstrated include the Gallus Labelfire 340 and Heidelberg Omnifire 250, both digital models, the Gallus ECS 340 equipped with GEW’s Rhino LED UV drying and the Gallus RCS 430 featuring “Metallic Doming”, a Gallus combination printing process based on rotary screen printing from Gallus, on various substrates
