Feb., 13 / -- At the Flexo 2003 Show, 4-6 March, to be held in Birmingham, UK, Valmet Converting will present the most recent developments in Rotomec flexo printing presses and Titan slitting & rewinding technology for converters of flexible packaging materials and other substrates.

The Rotomec Flexo EG Series of gearless printing presses feature the latest technology making complete 8 or 10 colour printing job changeovers possible in less than 10 minutes. Such reductions to machine down-time, substantially improve productivity and converters' profitability, particularly for short runs.

Rotomec can also provide cost-effective solutions in flexo printing with an extended range of more conventional stack type and CI geared machines.

Titan will have details on the latest developments in its range of slitter rewinders, including the new Titan CT 600 turreted slitter, the Titan SMA range of fully automated systems and of course, the world leading Titan SR7 slitter rewinder - one of the most successful slitter rewinders for flexible packaging materials.

From plastic film to flexible packaging, Valmet Converting has the widest scope of converting equipment and expertise in process solutions for converting a wide range of flexible substrates. The range combines the world-leading brand names of Valmet, Rotomec, Atlas, General, Titan and Midi, with the strength and resources of a major multi-national, Metso Corporation of Finland.
