Automotive Products Printers
The range of Apex Oil and Fuel Filter printers has been specially developed in consultation with customers from around the world to provide the highest quality print capabilities, combined with speed and ease of operation to handle short-run production efficiently and economically.

There are different types of printers available to suit most types of filter, from the very smallest, right up to lengths of 12″ (304mm), and diameters up to 6″ (152mm).

Apex has solutions offering a variety of production speeds and print methods to suit most applications. Machines typically operate in speed ranges up to 200 parts per minute.

Developments in UV ink technology, combined with the new Flexapex printing system developed by Apex, now enable printing through a modified offset process to give near silkscreen density and quality at offset printing speeds. This new system provides the potential for substantial cost savings, compared to silkscreen or gravure (pad printing) systems, through lower origination costs, faster changeovers, and higher running speeds. Further benefits include the use of inks that do not contain volatile solvents of the type used in air-dry inks in gravure and pad printing processes – an increasingly important consideration in the light of current trends in ecological and Health & Safety legislation – and the capability to print multi-color images in perfect register.

S-40 Multi-lane Cap Top Printers
Pictured below is a derivation of the well-proven Apex S-40 type machine which has been specifically designed for printing onto the tops of the aluminum closures commonly used in the wine and spirits industry. The machine is available to handle a variety of capsizes, depending on customer requirements.

Typically the system will be designed to print the caps after the first draw stage, as this allows color to be wrapped around the cap top on the subsequent second and third draw stages of the cap formation. It is, however, possible to print at any stage in the manufacturing process as may be required for specific production needs.

The operation involves feeding and orientation of the caps from bulk, transport into the system, scrubbing with alkaline to remove drawing lubricant contamination, pre-treating with flame, tape cleaning, base coating with primer, UV drying, top printing in up to 4 colors, UV Drying, Clear Coating, UV drying, and exit into a bin or to a bulk loader.

The complete system has an approximate production rate of 550 to 600 parts per minute, with the actual speeds being dictated by the feeder and the quality, consistency, and size of the caps.

Product category: Labeling
CP-2000 Cap Top Printer
The CP-2000 is a purpose-designed, high-speed rotary printer, for imprinting in up to four colors on the tops of metal and/or plastic bottle closures. The machine configuration can be readily adapted for varying product diameters and lengths and offers solutions for other hollow tubular shaped products requiring end cap printing.

The CP-2000 can be provided with pre-heating or other pre-print treaters, Ultraviolet dryers, and clear coat stations in addition to the 4 colors dry offset printing.

The CP-2000 can be interfaced with appropriate pre and post-print handling equipment to meet many automation requirements.

Depending upon product size and shape, production speeds of up to 2000 parts per minute are achievable.
