Booklet- and Processing-Machines Clever solutions for (almost) all tasks… www.redchili.ch Our engineers ideas about clever production-technology? These (out of many) solutions show it: Our Booklet-Production Unit for Gallus R 160 and R 200 machines glues and laminates prefabricated Booklets (accurately) onto the simultanously printed web and die-cuts them at the same time. The Processing-Machine Graficon BM 350 performs, depending on the configuration, the following tasks: Screenprinting, lamination, varnishing, diecutting and finishing of preprinted labels or the production of Booklet-Labels. The high-performance Sheeting-Machine Graficon BSM 340 cuts sheets from reels, in stepless formats or controlled by a scanning mark, and stacks the sheets as per the customers request.

98 | L&L GUSTAVO ALTERMAN with an example of a booklet label printed on a Mark Andy press Alterman says has ‘almost never stopped’ since then, running 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In 2002, Raal added a second Gallus letterpress, this time with six colors, also equipped with hot stamping and flat-bed die-cutting. Two years later, the company bought a second Mark Andy – an 8-color 2200. An HP Indigo ws4050 digital press was installed in 2006 – Argentina’s second after Artes Gráficas Modernas – alongside Cartes finishing equipment which provides hot stamping, silkscreen and die-cutting. A third Mark Andy 2200 arrived in December last year, an 8-color fully UV machine. Four Arpeco machines handle finishing and inspection, alongside a stamping machine from a Chinese manufacturer and two machines for numbering and inspection – one built in-house and the second from China – that are equipped with View Factor vision systems and inkjet heads for coding. Today the company employs 60 people and has a monthly production rate of 200,000 sqm. Its wide product range includes Braille, in-mold, booklet, security, thermochromic and shrink labels, as well as labels with aromatic inks and with handles. Raal serves a variety of markets – including beverage, food, home care, personal care, promotional, track & trace, nutraceutical, and batteries and lubricants for cars – but 60 percent of clients are in the pharmaceutical sector. ‘We mainly serve clients who require short runs with multiple changes. There is no reliance on any one customer,’ says Alterman. An example of the company’s short run work could be found on the day of L&L’s visit, with a job of 1,000 labels being sent to an important pharmaceutical client in Uruguay. Up to 10 percent of production is exported to Chile, Colombia, Honduras, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay. An in-house pre-press department, equipped with DuPont Cyrel technology, produces silkscreen plates for the Gallus and Cartes machines, while flexo plates come from a local pre-press company with whom Raal jointly purchased a Kodak Flexcel NX platemaking system. For jobs carried out at Labels Bolivia, files are put together in Buenos Aires that collate information about dies, plates and other specifications and then sent to Cochabamba. While the pre-press department doesn’t handle design work, the company has helped to educate brand owners through regular breakfast meetings about the capabilities of digital printing. ‘It has been a slow process,’ admits Alterman, ‘but it has been worth it.’ The HP Indigo press, which runs two shifts, now counts for around 17 percent of sales. The technological synergy between the plants extends to the Aramis RIP system, handling budgeting, orders and stock control, which is operated in both Buenos Aires and Cochabamba. A workflow system from Argentine supplier SisPro – which will automatically feed data from the presses into the Aramis system – is currently being installed in Buenos Aires and is also due to be implemented in Labels Bolivia. The workflow system also includes coding of each pallet for internal traceability, while specifications of some 22,000 jobs are kept on file. There is a clear focus on synergy and constant communication LABELS&LABELING
