The integrated midwave infrared heater enhances substrate compatibility, allowing for seamless printing on a variety of materials.

3. Modular Customization
The QuantumJet Lite MIII offers extensive modular customization options, enabling users to tailor the machine to their specific requirements. Flexographic stations can be added for additional color applications such as CMYK, white ink, or pre-coating. These stations are equipped with UV curing capabilities for efficient finishing. Post-printing modules like cold foil, lamination with UV curing, or additional flexographic units can also be integrated.

4. Lamination
Self-lamination is offering enhanced label durability and a premium finish. The lamination module integrates seamlessly into the production line, applying a protective layer to labels to improve resistance to environmental factors such as moisture, abrasion, and UV exposure.

5. Cutting Precision
Equipped with a semi-rotary die-cutting system, the QuantumJet Lite MIII ensures precise cutting for labels of various shapes and sizes. The die-cutting system supports high-speed operations, maintaining accuracy even at maximum speeds. This ensures consistent quality and versatility, catering to industries that demand precision in label cutting.

6. Slitting, Waste Management, and Rewind
The machine features an integrated slitting station with adjustable blades for clean, precise edge finishes. It can handle multiple widths simultaneously, enhancing efficiency in label processing. The innovative waste management system utilizes a short matrix path for quick waste removal, supporting high-speed die-cutting operations. Additionally, the high-capacity rewind system is equipped with tension control, ensuring smooth and consistent roll winding.
The machine (Qjet) architecture is designed to seamlessly integrate all modules, ensuring a smooth workflow and reducing downtime. Each module is precision manufactured to complement the machine’s core printing capabilities, thereby improving overall productivity and product quality.

The Quantmjet Lite M3 is designed to support a flexible solution architecture. This provides powerful process control and system automation, and simplifies the interaction between the press and all aspects of the printing process. With its flexibility to adapt to diverse production needs, the QuantumJet Lite MIII sets a new standard in label manufacturing, delivering exceptional value to businesses in the printing industry.

Flexo station module

Flexo station

Flexo station – the printing process is using a rubber metering roller, transferring ink onto the Anilox roller then onto the printing plate which then onto the substrate, equipped with water-based flexographic ink, UV ink or clear varnish and UV over laminate. Printing is done from the flexo plate after exposure. Anilox roll options include standard lpi/cm engraving or GTT with channel engraving.

The flexo unit from Gulmen is ideal to install inline generally print down white prior CMYK digital printing and post print, spot printing or clear vanish/UV overlaminate. The flexo station is designed to handle different inks special colours Gold/Silver/Orange/Green etc. Uv curing or IR drying system to handle different substrates and ink types.

The Gulmen Digital team is ready to consider all possible requirements when installing a flexo station for this machine, ensuring that it meets the specific needs of each application.

Finishing/Cutting Integrations

Lamination Module

The machine is equipped with self-lamination liner coating system option for added durability and premium finish.

Post-Printing Modules

Options for cold foil, lamination with UV cure, or extra flexographic units.

Semi rotary Die Cut Station

Semi-rotary Die Station

The semi-rotary die-cutting station is an important advantage for label production machines, especially when integrated with in-line digital label printing. This configuration provides a highly cost-effective solution that optimizes production for large runs, such as 20,000 labels or more. One of the main advantages of using a semi-rotary die-cutting station is its ability to handle a wide range of label sizes, starting from a minimum of 80 mm. This flexibility makes it ideal for the efficient production of different types of labels.

Integration with digital printing provides seamless inline processing, reducing the need for manual intervention and optimizing workflow. This results in faster turnaround times and reduced labour costs, improving overall productivity. In addition, the cost-effectiveness of this system makes it suitable for businesses looking to expand label production without significantly increasing operating costs.

Turret Rewinder Station

The Turret Rewinder Station is used for fast and efficient rewinding of self-adhesive labels.
The Turret Rewinder Station is great for long process and short/small rolls, say with 25.4mm/38mm/40mm/50mm cores. The core change cycle for printed rolls can be a big downtime for long run production, and this is where the turret system is great. You can run production on the first rewinder while the second rewinder is unloaded and reloaded for the next cycle, this system improves production by at least 30-40%.

Slitting Station

– Handles multiple widths simultaneously, enabling efficient label processing and customization.

Waste Removal

– Designed to support high-speed die-cutting, minimizing production downtime.
