Used Ci Flexo Presses in Piedmont, Italy

Overview

CI flexo presses (Central Impression) are high-speed flexographic machines built for long runs of labels, flexible packaging and narrow- to mid-web substrates. The central impression cylinder stabilizes the web for accurate registration across multiple colors and in-line finishing. Buyers should review print units, anilox rollers, plate sleeves, drying systems, unwind/rewind capacity, servo drives and utility needs to ensure the press fits their production and integration requirements.

FAQ

What should I inspect when buying a used CI flexo press?

Check the CI cylinder for wear, anilox roller condition, plate sleeve fit, doctor blades, servo/gearbox operation, registration accuracy, and available maintenance records.

Which production specs matter most?

Confirm maximum web width, repeat length, top speed, substrate types, print stations, varnish/lamination capability, and drying capacity.

How do I verify electrical and utility requirements?

Request motor voltages and phases, total power draw, compressed air consumption, oven/heater specs and any special voltage or PLC interfaces needed.

How should a CI press be prepared for shipping?

Provide accurate weight/dimensions, drain fluids, secure moving parts, tag lift points, partially disassemble bulky sections if needed, and use a rigging company experienced with presses.

Do I need OEM technicians for reassembly and startup?

OEM support is recommended for complex commissioning, registration tuning and safety checks, although experienced integrators can handle many installs.

What routine maintenance and spare parts should I stock?

Keep spare doctor blades, anilox cleaning supplies, bearings, seals, belts, servo spares and regular schedules for anilox cleaning, alignment, and lubrication.
