New RMGT press for Glossop Cartons

Packaging Solutions

Following Glossop Cartons’ move to larger Stockport based premises, the company has announced details of its latest litho press investment: a six colour plus coater RMGT B1 machine, purchased from MPL Ltd, a division of M Partners.

The purchase represents Glossop’s fourth RMGT B1 press buy. Commenting on the choice of machine, director Jacky Sidebottom-Every, said: ‘These presses are the most reliable printing machines on the market. One of our RMGT presses was recently recognised as having produced work for two years solid without a service visit – that is the sort of productivity we are buying into when we purchase these presses, and it is the sort of ‘never let you down’ experience that our customers expect from us.

Jacky added, ‘We look forward to the arrival of the new press and to offering our customers an enhanced print quality, coupled with increased productivity and improved reliability.’

The new press is a 1050 mm machine, capable of handling stocks from 0.04 mm through to 1.00 mm. The machine will be equipped with a chamber coater and will incorporate fully automatic simultaneous plate change, which offers a 75 second complete plate change on the press. The installation will also include RMGT’s latest wall screen monitor for viewing press status at a glance.

The new machine joins a Mitsubishi V3000, incorporating inter-deck UV drying and IR, as well as air knife, printing B1 format sheets. The presses are capable of printing on all types of substrates, including board, foils, and plastics, all with exceptional results.
