Handling solutions for printing sleeves

We are a leading supplier of handling equipment for printing sleeves or reels. With our extensive experience and expertise in this sector, we offer solutions specifically designed to meet unique requirements.

 

The reliability of our handler minimizes downtime and ensures that production can achieve maximum output. We understand that downtime can slow down production. That is why our handlers are designed with reliability as a core value. This is especially important in the production of flexible packaging, where various printing techniques are used and print sleeves are changed at high frequencies to meet customer demands.

 

The handlers also offer significant benefits in terms of speed, safety, and ease of use. The proportional speed of the handler ensures that production volumes can be met, while the user-friendly operation is ergonomic and safe. This allows for the movement of heavy products with minimal physical effort.

Benefits of our handlers

One of the added values of a Dotec lifting solution in this industry is reliability. Minimising downtime as much as possible and making sure that production can reach optimal output, the proportional speed of the lifting device enables this. The Friendly LiftAssist helps the operator to handle these reels easily and ergonomically.

Our solutions for your problems

Our solutions for your problems

Printing sleeves and reels are a common product widely used in the reel industry. Handling must be done with care to ensure that the sleeves are not damaged. Over the years, we have developed various techniques and handlers for the many possible processes for printing sleeves.

 

Within different processes, we have developed various handler solutions. Printing sleeves that need to be lifted and/or rotated to integrate them from a rack into a printer or to remove them from the printer. We also have solutions for printing sleeves that need to be cleaned after use. In collaboration with sleeve makers and users, we have been able to innovate these techniques into the best solutions available in the market.

For the different processes, we use various lifting techniques. To place sleeves in a printer, we can grab the print sleeve through the core. The handler can be equipped with preset heights so that the mandrel always comes to the correct height. The long mandrel is equipped with wheels, making it easy to slide the sleeve from the handler into the printer or the other way around. Removing or placing a sleeve in and out of the printer is often a precise and narrow process. For this, our handler provides a safe mobility (float) that facilitates and speeds up the removal or placement of a sleeve.

 

For cleaning sleeves, we have developed a handler that grips the cylinder at both ends. This handler does not clamp the sleeve but only lifts it, allowing it to rotate, which facilitates cleaning.
