It handles a maximum web width of 1400mm and prints up to 6 colors with water-based ink. The central drum locks the film in place, preventing stretch and misregistration at speeds up to 350m/min. RAZP, a trusted manufacturer of CI and Stack flexo printing machines, engineered this press for an Indian dairy packaging converter. When an established Indian machinery distributor sought a specialized printing solution for a local dairy flexible packaging converter, the requirement was clear: high-speed, high-precision printing on thin LDPE/PE co-extruded films without substrate stretch or color misregistration. To address these demanding flexible packaging requirements, ZhanPeng engineered and delivered the customized CI6C-1400 central impression flexo press. Below is the technical breakdown of the machine configuration, factory testing, and successful site delivery. ## Project Background & Technical Requirements Liquid milk pouch packaging demands food-grade hygiene standards, precise color registration on elastic polyethylene films, and consistent ink opacity under cold storage conditions. Stack-type presses often struggle with tension control on thin LDPE films below 50 microns. For this project in India, the end-user converter required: - **Substrate Compatibility:** 40–80 micron co-extruded PE film for liquid milk pouches. - **Effective Printing Width:** Up to 1400mm to accommodate multi-lane layout formats. - **Color Capability:** 6 colors using water-based ink for eco-friendly compliance. - **Registration Precision:** Central impression cylinder architecture to eliminate web stretch during high-speed runs. To explore our full range of satellite flexographic equipment, you can view our products catalog. ## Technical Engineering of the CI6C-1400 Flexo Press The CI6C-1400 model incorporates a central impression cylinder around which all 6 color stations are arranged. Because the PE web is firmly locked against the chrome-plated central drum during the entire impression pass, thermal deformation and mechanical web slippage are virtually eliminated. ### Key Engineering Features: - **Central Impression Architecture:** Ensures precise dot gain control and zero lateral movement on stretchable substrates. - **Advanced Drying System:** High-efficiency inter-deck hot air dryers prevent ink smearing when using water-based inks at high line speeds. - **Enclosed Doctor Blade & Ceramic Anilox:** Guarantees uniform ink metering across the full 1400mm width.
