VACUFOIL, the high performance foil transportation system with the ability to process foil rolls with large diameter and longest foil pulls at highest machine speeds leading to excellent foil saving capabilities and huge net production output.

The newly developed interface features a touch optimized screen with self-explanatory icons and controls. Higher security and easy learning trough context-sensitive real time help is available. The Intuitive instructions for hands on training, can reduce familiarization time for new operators. If requested, a quick remote support by the Gietz Service Helpdesk is possible.

The patented SMART Register sheet registration system compensates for inaccurate sheet cut and infeed errors, as well as sheet distortion, through the alignment and registration of the sheet by reading of print marks or the sheet edge.

A solid construction at a high automation level combined with maximum operating comfort allows dynamic sheet transportation at highest production speed. Connections to pallet logistic systems are possible.

Initial instruction and training in software handling included

The FSA 870 Compact gives the option for an enlarged stamping area. The runnable size sheet size then extends up to 870 x 600mm /34.3" x 23.6" for board, and 855 x 600mm /33.7" x 23.6" for paper. The enlarged stamping area of 800 x 592 mm / 31.5" x 23.3” typically allows for one additional row of dies.

The FSA 870 Compact is also available in a high pile configuration, which allows folding carton manufacturers to work with deeper piles, reducing change times and increasing productivity.

High-speed die-cutting, embossing or a combination of both is made easy, using the standard die-cutting chase and make-ready plate. This multifunctional use is a benefit of the FSA 870 Compact.

The standard machine can be extended by a second stamping station for hot foil stamping and blind embossing. Another possibility is to add a web sheeter or different substrate un- and rewind solutions as well as other machine components.

The press features a dynamic foil web transport for up to 2 foil feeds. The 90 degrees rotating foiling unit allows for the foils to be run along with or transverse to the substrate web running direction. The friction un- and rewinders allow the use of single or multiple webs and thus offer maximum application flexibility.

The dedicated substrate feeding device allows for an integration in all kinds of webfed systems. An infeed and outfeed web buffering system enables a perfect synchronisation to be achieved between the platen press. It is possible to vary the infeed and outfeed substrate web speeds. The system can run with rotary, semi rotary or combination drive web presses. The press does work as a standalone with its own substrate web unwind and rewind unit or cross cutter.

The unit can be supplied for incorporation into all current and established narrow web printing / converting / finishing machines or with own substrate web unwind device and rewind device / cross cutter to run as a stand-alone finishing system.

The user-friendly design of the machine makes set-up and change over straightforward. The setting of dies and counterparts is easy, without any disconnection of the substrate web. Perfect make-ready possibilities are accessible underneath the counter plate. The changing of foils is user-friendly and handled conveniently on top of the machine.

The maximum embossing area of 430 x 610 / 16.9" x 24" allows a wide range of applications. The press can be integrated into a wide range of web systems.

The large stamping surface of 430 x 610 mm / 16.9“ x 24“ allows for a huge range of application possibilities, coping 1:1 with the print repeat.

With a maximum stamping area of 550 x 610 / 21.65" x 24" the system allows for a huge range of application possibilities and can be integrated in a wide spectrum of web fed systems.

The foil feeding device consists of rollers, graduated bars and brake blocks. There is a specific reference numbering to position the foil, starting from the unwinding section and reaching to the hot foil stamping unit. This system allows perfect stripe application in the longitudinal substrate web direction. Additionally, an electronic web guide system allows perfect alignment between the substrate web and the hologram stripe.

A rotary system carries out the hologram stripe application. Foil and substrate web are constantly unwound. The foil tension of each hologram foil web is individually adjustable. A special pressure wheels system allows maximizing the applicable number of foil webs.

The secure machines are able to run either Pancake or Criss-Cross bobbins. Criss-Cross bobbins allow a high production output due to the high amount of foil meters on the roll. Both kinds of foil reels are precisely controlled when feeding into the machine.

The stripe transferring takes place both for metallised and demetallised holograms across the whole length and the whole width of the foil surface. Immediately after the application, a suction unit removes the foil carrier film waste and thus the final product is ready for the next production step.

The standard cold gluing unit applies dispersion glue on the blanks in the required shape by means of foam rubber pads on gluing wheels. Also available are high-pressure hot or cold glue spray systems.

The Gietz HTF machines are designed for a maximum operating comfort. Swing away delivery stacks allow optimal access to the forming stations, which enables a comfortable and quick set-up. The horizontal delivery of the completed trays simplifies the removal of erected trays at optimal height and with a minimum number of operators.

Fixed forming stations are suitable for running repeat jobs due to the dramatically reduced setup time. Their pre-setting normally takes place at our production site in Gossau, Switzerland. Customers can also set them up on site, for which Gietz supplies the material.

Enlarging the Gietz HTF 940 with a tray edge reinforcing station is quick and easy at any time. Fixed by hot glue, single or double folded reinforcement flanges are possible either on the inside or on the outside of the carton tray. This reinforces the trays for stronger resistance and better handiness.

The EasySet forming station offers an interesting alternative for job changes of trays that vary in size but are the same or similar in design.
Under the conditions mentioned, it enables quick set-up and changeover, significantly reducing the set-up time.
