XSYS Catena-BE 48 Aims To Streamline Flexo Plate Processing XSYS has introduced ThermoFlexX Catena-BE 48, the company’s latest product designed to increase efficien- cy and decrease waste in flexographic platemaking. The Catena-BE48, incorporating both hardware and software components, allows integration with the ThermoFlexX TFxX 48 Imager.
Siegwerk, Borouge Collaborate To Advance Circular Economy Siegwerk, manufacturer of printing inks and coatings for packaging applications and labels, has partnered with Borouge, a petrochemicals company that provides inno- vative and differentiated polyolefins solutions, to co-de- velop 100 percent recyclable mono-material solutions to further drive packaging design for a circular economy. The goal of the collaboration is to build a pipeline of solutions enabling converters worldwide to produce advanced mo- no-material packaging, addressing the growing demand for sustainable packaging in the market. “The majority of flexible packaging still consists of mixed materials and because of this multi-material struc- ture, it is challenging to recycle it in the conventional re- cycling streams,” explained Dr. Stephane Bertaux, Head of Brand Owner Collaboration and Circular Economy for Southeast Asia at Siegwerk Thailand. “Here, the switch to mono-material packaging is an essential lever to ease the recycling of packaging and thus enhance its circularity.” One of the first co-development projects between the two partners will be a barrier stand-up pouch using Borealis Borstar technology-based enhanced HDPE FB5600 from Borouge and Siegwerk’s oxygen barrier coating CIRKIT OxyBar BC1582 as well as its primer solution CIRKIT Clear- prime for a smooth deinking of the laminates.
The TFxX 48 Imager can be pre-loaded and prepared for the next job while the previous plate is transferred au- tonomously to the Catena-E 48 LED exposure unit. This automation is said to not only save time but also guaran- tee that job presets are maintained throughout the pro- cess, ensuring that there are no configuration errors, to prevent waste and enhance efficiency.
