Dehradun-based Zircon Industries, a labels and packaging converter, has signed a deal with Flexo Image Graphics (FIG) to buy five DCM ATN finishing systems. The deal was confirmed at Labelepxo India 2024. The five DCM ATN machines going to Zircon are: Sleeve 6 Intense, Babycat 4, Sleevcut 5 (two units) and Serval. 

Sleeve 6 Intense is a seaming and forming machine with a non-stop unwinder and rewinder. It’s fully automatic with permanent lay-flat measurement and control, automatic motorized positioning and a micro-edge guide for seam positioning. Babycat 4 is an inspection and doctoring machine designed to operate both ways with seam quality control. Sleevecut 5 is a sleeve-cutting machine with in-line perforation and rewind. Serval is a slitter rewinder of cantilever design with an integrated unwind shaft and two rewind shafts.

FIG has previously supplied a fleet of presses and equipment to Zircon. ‘Currently, we are running multiple narrow-web flexo printing presses from Mark Andy, an array of Rotoflex post-press equipment and others that were bought from FIG,’ shared Sanjeev Sondhi, director, Zircon Technologies. ‘To standardize our post-press units, we have booked five DCM ATN systems from FIG. We found the finishing systems of these machines perfectly engineered with advanced features for optimum quality, productivity and efficiency.’ 

Gourav Roy, director, FIG, said: ‘Zircon is swift in implementing the latest machines and technologies, which eventually make them resilient to produce world-class label and packaging solutions. With its headquarters in Dehradun, Zircon boasts multiple production plants in Noida, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Chennai, backed by a team of around 500 employees.’
