Discovering FUTURA and the Future of Label Converting With PRATI
Thursday 10. August 2017 - At this years edition of LABELEXPO EUROPE, PRATI will be exhibiting a number of machines with specific configurations from the ever-growing range.
PRATI is Italys leading manufacturer and supplier of technologically advanced label finishing solutions, counting more or less 2,800 installed machines worldwide. At this years edition of LABELEXPO EUROPE, PRATI will be exhibiting a number of machines with specific configurations from the ever-growing range. Many of them will be used during the tradeshow to enable live demonstrations for different label types, offering visitors an opportunity to see PRATI technology in action.
The DIGIFAST will be there in a space-efficient version as well as a top-end model accomplishing high-speed, accurate processing of added value labels as well as wine bottle labels during the exhibition. Managing speeds of 80m/min. and cutting waste to just 18 metres per job, DIGIFAST requires just over 8 minutes for set-up. Greater productivity, much less waste and very little downtime between jobs. The Saturn OMNIA presented 2 years ago in Brussels will be back thanks to the huge popularity this machine has generated since it was launched.
The new FUTURA open-platform technology will have a central role at the exhibition, allowing visitors a glimpse of the opportunities this concept gives, plus the advantages of maximising a single, long-term investment.
