“In 2011 I travelled to Cumbria to see the FAMM in action at the SGS plant that serviced Amcor in the region. I was instantly intrigued by the simplicity and incredibly efficient output of the FAMM. I then travelled to Holland and viewed 2 FAMMS in operation at Elopak, again incredible output.”
“We started our capital expenditure in 2012 with the view of installing a FAMM in Moorabbin, Australia early 2013. Within 24 hours of the machine being delivered, we were mounting plates for all 6 printing machines at Moorabbin, and haven’t looked back. It replaced the incumbent 3 manual mounting machines and is currently keeping up with the daily demands of around 120 sleeves per day.”
“The operational effectiveness has improved significantly compared to the old way of mounting. We are especially impressed by the image recognition software that automatically detects the microdots. The quality of the process of mounting plates has never been better and we now have perfect registration and great repeatability of the mounting.”
We consider AV Flexologic to be the market leader in the flexo plate mounting machines field and therefore we have a lot of confidence in their products. In the year 2008 we were looking for a new mounting machine and after comparison with mounting machines from other suppliers, we have made the decision to do business with AV Flexologic again. Especially if you have built up a good relationship for many years with your supplier, you should not just change suppliers. And if you still want to modernize your technology, then you look for the best technological solutions. The innovative and unique technology of the automatic FAMM fits perfectly with our goals. A reference visit to Elopak in the Netherlands, where the FAMM is already in operation, has convinced us and we have ordered the first FAMM in Europe for application in flexible packaging printing. Since November 2008 we have the Fully Automatic Mounting Machine in use, it is performing to full satisfaction.”
“We purchased a SAMM 1500 in 2015 and it has proven us a great deal ever since. We are mounting most of our jobs in advance, so our mounting department has a constant flow of plates to be mounted.
The SAMM allows us to mount job after job on a high pace with higher accuracy than manual mounting. This way, we cover our mounting operations with one machine where others might need two.
With the pressure roller this is history, and it saves our mounting operators a lot of physical effort.” S. Brouwer – Production Manager Altacel
