Eco Xtra Ring

  • Easier mounting
  • Up to 90% more efficient air flow
  • Added durability
  • Reduced wear from sleeve mounting over time
  • Improved return on investment

Specifications

  • Includes aluminium endplates
  • For use on all Airo & Unifit type adapters (PU, Carbon, ULW)

Availability

  • Currently commercial (EMEA, APAC, LATAM)

Success Story

These new carriers with the ‘metal ring at the end’ is a remarkable improvement that makes mounting of printing sleeves fast and simple.

Even more remarkable is that it extends the useful life of the adapter itself. We would like to add this technology to all the adapters we use on press.

rotec® Ω Technology Conductivity

  • 10-year warranty on conductivity
  • Conductive from base to surface without mechanical parts
  • No weak points in the base for longer product lifetime

Specifications

  • Available on all rotec products used in solvent-based ink applications
  • Conductivity noted in the rotec® name with Ω

Availability

  • Currently commercial (global)

Conductivity is needed to ground the sleeves and adapters to the press in applications using solvent-based ink with a flash point below 55°C to avoid explosions/fire.

  • Better protection image

    rotec® Ω technology

    • Contact with mandrel through full conductive base sleeve
    • No mechanical parts, no weak points in the base
    • 10 year warranty on conductivity
  • Alternative method image Mechanical ball valve
    • Creates single-point contact with mandrel through spring and ball valve
    • RISK: springs can fail losing connectivity, therefore no longer conductive
  • Alternative method image Metal connector pin
    • Creates a single-point contact with mandrel through connector pin
    • RISK: weak point in base leading to cracks, mounting issues and potential damage to the press

Compressible Endplate

  • PVC – no metal
  • Protects entire edge of the sleeve and the base
  • Compressible to absorb shocks during handling

  • non-metal
  • durability
  • fall-protection

Specifications

  • Minimum wall thickness >11mm
  • Decreases print length by 6mm

Availability

  • Coming soon (EMEA, APAC, LATAM)

Comparison to Aluminium Endplate

Endplates protect the base sleeve and edge by preventing liquids and environmental conditional from penetrating the sleeve.

Compressible endplates take that edge protection to the next level
  • Protect from fall damage during handling
  • Especially good for large sleeve dimensions, which are harder to handle
  • Contributes to longer sleeve/adapter lifetime
