With increasing demand in the printing industry for equipment that enables more frequent and faster job changes on press, Flint Group officially launches the new rotec\u00ae ULW Bridge<\/em> to join the lightweight family of sleeves and adapters.<\/p>\n The rotec\u00ae ULW Bridge<\/em> (Ultra Light Weight) is a polyurethane adapter offering up to 65% reduction in weight compared to similar products in the market \u2013 a significant weight decrease improving safety and handling for press operators. The rotec\u00ae ULW Bridge<\/em> is suitable for all press widths and offers particular benefits where higher wall thicknesses are most commonly used, such as in cantilevered mounter applications and unusually large print applications, including corrugated pre-print.<\/p>\n This ultra lightweight adapter is currently available with two different air supply systems – air sourced from the air cylinder (Unifit<\/em> version) or from an external air source (Airo<\/em> version). This new generation adapter is available with a wall thickness starting at 30 mm and face lengths up to 2000 mm. Flint Group understands the industry requirements for products that accommodate more frequent job changes and increased efficiency as run lengths for print jobs continue to decline. The lightweight family of rotec\u00ae Sleeves and Bridges, including the rotec\u00ae ULW Bridge<\/em>, are just some of the latest solutions from Flint Group that make the work environment more productive and safe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Flint Group launches the new rotec Ultra Light Weight Bridge adapter, easier handling for press and pre-press operations, improved health and safety standards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":29024,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7731],"tags":[7797,7798],"class_list":["post-30592","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international-en","tag-flessography-en","tag-flexo-sleeves-en"],"yoast_head":"\n
\nDeveloped together with customers, this new generation adapter has been validated in applications on plate-mounting equipment and on presses running up to 450 m\/min for the last 1-2 years.
