Rotografure

Since 1990 Uteco has produced rotogravure printing presses for applications including flexible packaging, printing on aluminum, security applications, wallpaper, PVC, wood, foil, labels and sleeves.

In 2003 Uteco introduced a new range of electric line-shaft rotogravure presses. Thanks to experience and technical knowledge developed in the field of gearless flexo presses these machines now offer significant technical developments such as direct drive on engraved cylinders shafts, Synchro Web® or Strechreg® for printing of thin and stretchable materials such as 25-30 µ polyethylene.

Uteco rotogravure presses can be equipped with appropriate winders best suited for film, paper, paperboard. These winders can be single or double position winders and can be supplied in either shafted or shaftless executions.

Electric, diathermic oil, steam or gas heating systems can be supplied for individual stations or for the entire press.

Coating/Laminating

Uteco's coating and laminating machines were first introduced in the early 1990's.Uteco  has concentrated its production on special high performance coating machines  equipped  with  automatic  winders, the possibility to combine various coating trolleys as well as both horizontal and vertical drying hoods. Uteco completes its line of coating machines with two simple and compact modular models which can be upgraded at any time to accept laminated materials of both solventless adhesive type (Rainbow) as well as water, solvent/solventless based combined in one machine only (Mistral).
