Rotogravure · Medium-Speed Mechanical Shaft
200 m/min Mechanical Shaft Gravure Printing Machine
The 200 m/min Mechanical Shaft Gravure Printing Machine is a medium-speed gravure printing system designed for flexible packaging production. It features a mechanical shaft transmission structure that ensures stable synchronized operation across multiple printing units, providing reliable performance and consistent print quality for industrial-scale production.
This model is widely used in flexible packaging converting plants requiring higher productivity than entry-level machines while maintaining cost efficiency and mechanical stability.
Machine Structure
Production Modules
Unwinding Unit
Shaft-type unwinding with automatic tension control, optional EPC web guiding, and pneumatic or hydraulic roll loading for industrial roll handling.
Printing Unit
Mechanical shaft drive with multi-color gravure stations, precision engraved cylinders, doctor blade ink metering, and independent pressure adjustment per color unit.
Drying & Rewinding
Multi-section hot air circulation drying oven with independent temperature control per printing unit, efficient solvent evaporation, exhaust and ventilation, followed by shaft-type rewind with automatic tension, edge alignment, and roll diameter monitoring.
Printing process: Unwinding → web tension stabilization → multi-color gravure printing → hot air drying → intermediate drying stabilization → rewinding.
