Edited by the Printingtalk editorial team Nov 3, 2008

D and K's Comet Thermal Encapsulation Machine had its European launch at Total Print! Expo this month.

The Comet has been developed with the Trade Encapsulator and Card Market in mind.

The Comet has a working width of up to 540mm and and runs at speeds of up to 25m per minute It benefits from being modular in construction and its adjustable height makes it fully compatible with a range of feeders and cutters.

The 260mm-diameter Teflon-coated pre-heat rollers make for scratch-free results and the large 75mm diameter heated nip rollers, with advanced rubber compound, give maximum heat transfer for higher running speeds.

The Comet has PLC control with modem link to enable remote diagnostics, swing-out mandrels for easy film loading, pneumatic operation of all rollers to allow differing pressures on nip and pull rollers, and ample cooling with variable speed fans, which only operates in start mode to save energy.
