Rotocontrol expands with Baumgarten in Brazil

31 January 2012


Securing a foothold in the Latin American market, Germany-based Rotocontrol has received an order for a second RSC slitter/rewinder 440mm web width inspection machine from Baumgarten, one of the region’s leading label printers.

Main features of the Rotocontrol machine that led to the Baumgarten order included its dual rewind with capacity up to 700mm and tension control from 100% servo Bosch Rexroth drives, enabling the company to produce shrink sleeves material at high-speed and efficiently.

Also ordered was the vacuum splice table option, which delivers “unprecedented” operator efficiency by allowing automatic placement of mill-splice/flags, matrix/missing labels and vision detected defects right on the vertical inspection plate/waste rewind for reworking.

The machine is also equipped for a Nikka Research vision system.

“We are extremely pleased with the production results from our first Rotocontrol RSC slitter/rewinder,” commented Ronaldo Baumgarten Jr., chairman of Baumgarten.

“Rotocontrol delivered a high quality technology finishing machine and follow-on support that was promised. We look forward to further production benefits from our second Rotocontrol finishing machine investment.”

Baumgarten claims to be one of the few printers in the world that offers almost all printing systems including Rotogravure, offset, screen-printing, letter-press, flexography, hot stamping, cold foil, embossing and digital printing.

Rotocontrol designs and manufactures leading edge inspection, slitting, rewinding and die cutting finishing machines for the narrow web industry globally.
