ETI Converting launches new high-speed rotary die-cutting machine for liner of 12, 18 and 23 microns

ETI Converting has launched a new high-speed rotary die-cutting machine for thin liners down to 12 microns thickness.

Called the Pellicut, this equipment can die-cut PS material at a speed of 750ft/min (225m/min) on a 26in(660mm) web width. It uses a standard flexible magnetic die.

ETI Converting says a patent-pending W anti-deflection system avoids pressure cutting variation and reduces risks of die marks on the liner. An equalizer system corrects any thickness inconsistency on the magnetic plates.

This system will be available as an option on the Cohesio, but will also be sold separately with unwind and rewind to die-cut any thin liner PS material . The unit can be retrofitted on any printing machine with web widths from 13-26in (330-660mm).

‘We have sold the first unit to a big US converter to die-cut one of the largest label orders in North America,’ said Maxime Bayzelon, vice-president of ETI Converting.
