The start-up of the Iridium printing machine by A.Celli Nonwovens sold last year in Mexico to Avintiv, part of the Berry Plastics Group, was concluded on November 28, 2015.
Avintiv's investment at the beginning of 2015 was part of its expansion plans for the Mexican production site of what was then PGI, with the clear intent of expanding the production of specialty materials in the American continent. The Iridium Flexo printing system purchased by Avintiv, capable of printing variable width products in the range of 1600 mm to 2150 mm, is equipped with four colors, extendable to a maximum of six colors, and can attain a production speed of 450 m/min, guaranteeing the customer the utmost level of flexibility, many aesthetic advantages and high performances.
Besides the printing unit, the project also includes an unwinding system and a “Nexus” winder equipped latest generation of in-line slitting system: state-of-the-art A.Celli Nonwovens technology with specific functions for registered printing. Additionally, an integrated shaft handling and finished reel handling system, a dust suction system and all the engineering work for line commissioning in order to guarantee excellent quality levels.
