As well as showcasing its latest innovations and partnerships at this year’s Labelexpo Europe, DuPont Cyrel Flexographic Solutions will use the leading European labels event to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its Fast thermal processing system.
From 16-19 September, the Cyrel team will demonstrate how its entire range of flexo solutions will deliver what the company said is “excellence to labels converters through innovation and collaboration”.
“With the DuPont Cyrel FAST 1000 TD at the heart of our display, we’re excited to meet with Labelexpo attendees and present the future of flexo innovation alongside our ‘25 Years of Fast’ celebrations,” said Jan Scharfenberg, business leader EMEA with DuPont Cyrel Flexographic Solutions.
“From booth 5D47 in Hall 5 of the Fira Gran Via convention centre, Barcelona, we will showcase how the innovative Fast system, our entire range of flexo solutions, and a number of exciting partnerships benefit customers across the tag and label industry and beyond.”
The Cyrel FAST 1000 TD system uses dry, thermal technology to process high-quality Cyrel photopolymer plates, eliminating the need for solvent, enabling sustainable flexographic plate processing.
“Building on our legacy of developing customer-driven solutions, the Fast 1000 TD is designed with customer needs in mind. It is easy to install, support, maintain and operate, while at the same time being incredibly robust, extremely cost effective and reliable,” explained Scharfenberg.
“For a quarter of a century, Cyrel Fast technology has enabled tag and labels businesses to supercharge productivity and make their designs a reality faster, cleaner, and consistently.
“The Cyrel Fast solution simplifies complicated operations and makes it possible for businesses to achieve shorter runs and quick turnarounds on a wide variety of substrates, all while minimising the environmental footprint of platemaking operations.”
According to the company, in line with today’s focus on operational efficiency, the DuPont Cyrel Fast system can reduce platemaking time by up to a 75 per cent while the dry, solvent-free process eliminates the need to handle, distil and dispose of washout fluids.
Furthermore, the company said relative to a solvent workflow, VOC emissions are reduced by 99.8 per cent and the global warming potential is reduced by 48 per cent.
“We’re excited to be bringing our innovations to one of the largest events in the European calendar,” said Scharfenberg.
“We’re looking forward to demonstrating just why the thermal processor is named Fast – because of how quickly it can provide the first plate. By enabling busy platemakers to maximise throughput, Cyrel Fast allows even the highest volume operations to keep the presses going longer, faster, and more sustainably.”
The company said the continued success of Fast thermal technology, with more than 1500 installations worldwide, is a testament to the ongoing innovation and dedication of the team, and its ability to continuingly improve and fine-tune to meet changing demands since its launch.
