Welcome to the Xianghuai Website.We are mainly engaged in designing and manufacturing flexographic printing machines.

The satellite flexo printing machine is a less developed and slower application in the Chinese region, which has a greater relationship with the industry and its historical reasons.The satellite flexo press is an impression cylinder common press,  there is only one impression cylinder. The paper path of this model cannot be changed, and the printed circuit is short.  However, because of the high requirements for the intermediate shared impression cylinder, when the number of units is too large, the machine will be very cumbersome.

However, the advantages of satellite flexo printing are actually very many, except for the advantages of high precision and fast speed. In the printing of large-area color blocks ( the field of printing), there is actually a very big advantage, which is comparable to gravure printing.Since the ceramic anilox roller is used to control the amount of ink to be carried, when the large solid color block is printed by the flexographic printing method, it is only required to have an ink amount of about 1.2 g per square meter without affecting the color saturation. Gravure printing requires 3g/m2 or even higher (there is an article data showing 4~6g/m2). Together with the solvent used, the actual cost is far higher than the flexo printing method.Another advantage is that the user is concerned about the problem - energy consumption, due to the relationship between flexographic printing structure, ink, ink loading, etc., and does not require much heat, the printed work can be thoroughly dried.

Therefore, usually an 8 color flexographic printing machine, under the premise of speed of 300m / min, the electric heating method used does not exceed 80KW / hour. Other printing methods usually require more than 150kw/hour of energy consumption, or even higher.This is a very good news for the current situation of domestic electricity consumption is not optimistic.

Of course, satellite flexo presses still have their shortcomings. Mainly in the printing and reduction, although it can be printed to 175 lines of products, but with the increase in related costs, the overall application is still different from offset printing, gravure and so on. When printing high-line products, it is powerless. This is a common problem of flexo printing and a place for improvement.
