Final Flexo Dryer (FFD)

Interstation and Final Flexo Dryers dramatically increase productivity, allow you to provide higher quality graphics options and expand the capability of your flexo operation. Final Flexo Dryers ensure optimized drying of ink and or varnish prior to inline die-cutting, minimizing if not eliminating the potential for tracking, marking, smearing and offsetting from sheet to anvil cover, even with inline varnishing and full coverage printing.

In every instance the use of Interstation and Final Flexo Dryers eliminates the need for multiple passes. High graphics printing, varnishing and finishing operations such as die-cutting in a single pass on semi or fully-coated high hold-out board without compromising run speeds.

Control Systems

JB Machinery’s intuitive, graphics based interface gives the operator full and precise control over the entire drying system. Built around a durable color touch screen, the system provides global control over all dryers while allowing individual control of each lamp cassette.

Interstation Flexo Dryer (IFD)

Installed between printing stations, Interstation or Final Flexo Dryers optimize drying of each or selected colors for color-on-color trapping, minimizing if not eliminating ghosting, providing dramatic increases in productivity and product value. Maintenance couldn't be simpler. Turn the latch, lift and the cassette slides out.

Filtered UV Curing

UV provides converters an economic and environmentally safe means to deliver high graphics, protective and functional varnish capabilities, from matte, to high gloss, to wet look finishes, to their customers.  For most applications UV provides a look which competes with film lamination, and often exceeds pre-print. 

UV allows converters to differentiate themselves from their competition, add extra value to the finished product and dramatically increase productivity and drive their customer’s branding with attention-grabbing graphics. For most applications UV provides a look which competes with film lamination, and often exceeds pre-print.

Unlike conventional systems that use air to control the UV lamp assembly temperature, JB Machinery uses environmentally-friendly filtered water technology. Air-cooled UV is also an available option for specialized applications.
