Bar Graphic Machinery (BGM) took to Labelexpo Europe to showcase several of its new and latest technologies, including its 370eDSRT Easy Load Die Cut Slitter Semi-Automatic Turret Rewinder.

The 370eDSRT boasts rotary die-cutting speeds of up to 250m/min and features a two-spindle semi-automatic turret that splices material and advances tails onto cores. A tail layon system applies tails to the cores during operation.

Dies receive support from a bottom guide rail system for effortless loading, improving setup time while reducing damage from incorrect loading. The dual-spindle design allows operators to pre-load cores on one spindle while the other rewinds.

The company said users report productivity improvements of up to 60 per cent.

“With a 720mm unwind capacity, which then moves on to the lay down horizontal die station for easy loading, this machine is made to be fast, efficient, and to improve productivity,” BGM operator Tom Padgett said.

At the event, BGM also launched a 22-inch finishing system, the BGM Elite 550iSR, featuring large capacity unwind with integral roll lifting and CAP constant air pressure technology.

The Elite 550iSR incorporates BGM’s latest GPS gear positioning system, enabling operators to load master rolls into the braking system position with self-alignment requiring no operator intervention.

The CAP system delivers constant air pressure to the unwind mandrel, while the large-capacity unwind includes integral roll lifting capabilities. The 550mm wide machine targets self-adhesive label finishing applications with 1m diameter unwind and integral roll lifting.

Standard features include constant air pressure to the unwind mandrel, automatic compensation braking and digital roll end capabilities. Options encompass dual rewind configurations, automatic inspection systems, razor units and venturi extraction. This machine is also available as a 26-inch configuration.
