Jet Technologies has exhibited at Labelexpo Southeast Asia in Bangkok, Thailand, for the first time, putting on display the OMET iFlex and Jet iQ machinery.
“This is the first regional show, outside of the countries that we operate in, that we’ve exhibited at. It’s very exciting as we’re trying to grow in the Southeast Asian region,” Jet Technologies director Jack Malki said.
The OMET iFlex 370 was on stand and running live demonstrations, showcasing its ease of use and capabilities. The 14m, 10-colour configuration machine is a narrow web printing press with maximum speed of 190 m/min and printing repeat from 5.5-inches to 18-inches.
The machine is dedicated to the label market as it is able to produce all kinds of labels, including wraparound and shrink labels using its specific Film Asset.
A prominent feature of the OMET iFlex 370 is its iLight and iVision technology, which when combined, drastically reduces set-up time and waste, as the operator needs only a few seconds to adjust the mark by watching the image on the dedicated display.
At the tradeshow, a demonstration of the machine showed a mere one to two minute changeover for ten flexo units and rapid rebooting after job changes, simplifying setup and boosting productivity.
The OMET iFlex 370 is distributed in the A/NZ region by Currie Group, while Jet Technologies distributes it in the Southeast Asian region.
Malki said, “I think Currie Group will agree with me that OMET is a wonderful partner that is at the forefront of technology”.
As for the Jet iQ machinery, Jet Technologies had the Jet iQ M370 finishing machine and the Jet iQ SRI450 on show. This newly launched range of finishing solutions for the label and packaging markets is designed and built in partnership with Polly Automatics.
Attendees got a chance to explore the Jet iQ M370 with Versatex Print Bar, delivering high-build varnish, digital foil, and spot varnish on even uncoated papers. With two semi-rotary flexo units and semi-rotary die cutting, the Jet iQ M370 offers a versatile and powerful finishing solution for any digital press.
The Jet iQ SRI450 demonstrated its high-speed label inspection, slitting, and rewinding capabilities. With a dual rewinder system and speeds of up to 450m/min, this advanced machine promises precision, efficiency, and seamless label finishing.
“We are always complementing printing with finishing, and in A/NZ, we’ve had a big focus on the Jet iQ range in the last year and it has been very well received,” Malki said.
“We’re just trying to show clients what a modern print shop would look like – your printing, finishing, inspecting and rewinding, all with a minimum of people.”
