Entry level for caps

At the K 2013 show Moss introduces the new dry offset printing machine model MO 3062/4 for the decoration of plastic caps for water and soft drink plastics bottles. This new model, which completes the range of printing machines especially manufactured by the company for printing the top flat side of plastic caps, can print up to 1250 pieces per minute (75,000 pph) and it has to be considered as an "entry level" printing machine, in comparison to the superior models from the Italian manufacturer, which can reach productivities of 2,500 and 5,000 pieces per minute.
The processing cycle provides that each cap is subjected to the following operations: orienting and channeling towards the automatic loading device; loading on the piece holder wheel with continuous spinning (no indexing); removal of dust and static electricity and flame treatment; 4-color printing plus UV drying; unloading and quality control by means of a camera which inspects each piece; passage in the piece counter to fill the boxes with the exact pre-set number of closures.
