ICE USA 2017 Preview
...Continued from page 10. can process working widths of up to 2,000mm and produce narrow cuts from five millimetres on. Converters that handle thin and delicate
materials, such as adhesive film or thin alufoil, will be best suited with the RU 1. Another highly flexible slitter rewinder, especially for the conversion of metallised films and packaging films, is GOEBEL IMS’ XTRASLIT 2. The machine is equipped for a highly productive performance. With its working widths of up to 3,600mm, XTRASLIT 2 allows for narrow cuts from 180mm. Conversion of material thicknesses is possible between two and 400 μm, while the compact machine design requires only minimum space. Visitors at ICE USA will be able to find out more
about the company and its range of products, with the focus on machine availability and quality.
DELTA MODTECH BOOTH 710
Unveiling new gauging for narrow web
BOOTH 901 NDC Technologies will debut the latest innovations for narrow web gauging applications at ICE USA. The new line-up includes the 8000-SLIM web gauging system with ultra-compact SlimTrak scanner and ConvertIR gauge for fixed-point coat weight and moisture measurements. NDC will also be exhibiting the Beta LaserMike LaserSpeed non-contact length and speed gauge. The new 8000-SLIM web gauging system with
SlimTrak scanner is a compact measurement system on narrow-web lines. The SlimTrak scanner has a small cross-section footprint for tight-space installations and supports NDC’s most popular gauges, such as the IG710 and SR710 infrared gauges or a Gamma Backscatter gauge. The new ConvertIR gauge provides fixed-
point, non-scanning on-line measurement of paper moisture or coat weight of coatings on paper and films. This infrared gauge is based on the company’s proven optical filter technology. ConvertIR delivers NDC’s pedigree of long-term stability and accurate measurement
EBEAM TECHNOLOGIES BOOTH 1173
Delta ModTech’s stand at ICE USA will feature several machine demonstrations, including: Flex EDGE Laser Technology, for markets that
demand flexibility; new job setup is quick and the ability to recall saved products speeds up changeovers. This system is completely portable and can be used inline or offline with various configurations to allow for production and R&D use in both roll-to-roll and sheet-fed. Complex Converting demonstration – This Delta
ModTech system will feature a variety of processes, including tight tolerance rotary die cutting, multi- layer lamination and precise part placement. This system is designed to offer precision parts while minimising waste of expensive materials. Other Delta ModTech systems may include capabilities such as semi-rotary, full rotary and laser cutting as well as heat seal pouching. Frontier Booth 624 will feature Dynacoat, this
coater is a compact and completely self- contained lab-scale coating system that sets the industry standard for coating process optimisation. Delta ModTech and Frontier provide converting, packaging and coating solutions for customers in the diagnostics, transdermal, electrode, wound care medical, pharmaceutical, security, automotive, electronics and label manufacturing industries. Engineers will be on-stand to discuss specific
application requirements and help customers develop a total solution. Delta ModTech and Frontier systems are custom designed and engineered to meet precise requirements to improve profitability and reduce risk.

At ICE USA, Davis-Standard will highlight its liquid coating technology and its processing systems for converting applications – the dsX series. The company’s liquid coating technology includes a curtain slide coater, constructed of
Visitors to the ebeam Technologies stand will learn how the company’s Inkjet Dryer (EID) system enables food packaging converters to mass produce inkjet-printed personalised labels and packaging
without the food contamination risk from photoinitiators that are required in UV-cured inks. On its stand, ebeam will exhibit its EID, said to be the world’s first electron beam system for curing
inkjet inks on Food Contact Materials (FCMs). Attendees will be able to discover more about the production of high quality, durable, food-safe finishes achieved through printing with ebeam-curable inkjet inks and inline curing by the EID. Karl Swanson, VP global sales, ebeam Technologies, comments: “Converters looking for ways to help
their food brand customers differentiate their product through personalisation and eliminate challenges should visit us at ICE USA to discover how ebeam technology solves these problems. Food packaging converters are keen to avoid the risk associated with photoinitiator migration from UV inks used on indirect food contact materials. With ebeam, this issue is eliminated because the EID provides a compact curing stage for photoinitiator-free ebeam-curable inks.”

stainless steel for ease of clean-up and which includes a mist removal system. And in extrusion coating, Davis-Standard offers the dsX flex-pack to provide converters and package printers with a high-value, competitively priced system. Benefits include product consistency, bonding strength, greater uptime and reduced waste. Davis-Standard technology also supports cast
and blown film applications; the dsX s-tretch is the first cast film line features integrated pre-stretch capabilities as an alternative to traditional pre- stretching methods. Processors can take advantage of thinner films, higher line speeds and improved film strength. In blown film, the dsX flex- film is designed for applications in printing and laminating, flexible packaging, collation shrink and bag making, hood shrink and surface printing.

performance, independent of changes in ambient conditions such as lighting, temperature or humidity. ConvertIR is available in two configurations: a single gauge with Operator Interface (OI) for post dryer or conditioner moisture measurements, or single-point coat weight, and a dual gauge with both instruments connected to a single OI to provide left and right coat weight measurements for manual control. Also on display is the Beta LaserMike
LaserSpeed gauge from NDC. LaserSpeed measures the length and speed of any moving surface with better than +/- 0.03 per cent accuracy and without contacting the product. It is suitable for replacing error-prone, high- maintenance contact encoders.
