The ability to print cases on an
as-needed basis eliminates the need for costly preprinted case inventory,
cutting costs in material waste, warehousing space, and inventory
handling. Kiwi Heavy Duty Flat-Case Printers deliver commercial-quality
printed cases as needed, with clear, sharp bar codes, logos, printed
instructions and handling information.
Model 2482 prints cases at up to 50 per minute (80 per
minute with an available high-speed option). The press is designed for
quick changes of imprint information, minimizing downtime and making
just-in-time printing even more practical. A typical changeover takes
minutes, including complete type change and cleanup.
Kiwi offers several type mounting
systems for the Model 2482. A magnetic printing cylinder using curved
metal plates carrying either permanently mounted metal dies or changeable
Kiwi Channelok is
recommended when frequent message changes are required.
A Flexback printing cylinder onto which flexible plastic plates are
mounted with straps is recommended when large amounts of copy are being
printed. The Magflex cylinder accepts printing dies with flexible magnetic
backing—recommended when small blocks of copy or graphics must be
changed frequently.
The Model 2482-2C is a two-color version of the printer,
designed with the second printing stand mounted on casters for easy
removal for type changes, cleanup and maintenance.
Models 2482 and 2482-2C handle cases up
to 26 inches (660 mm) wide by 44 inches (1117 mm) long, with imprint areas
of 22 inches (559 mm) by 44 inches (1117 mm). Larger one- and two-color
models are available able to handle cases up to 36 inches (915 mm) by 44
inches (1117 mm) with imprint areas of 32 inches (813 mm) by 44 inches
(1117 mm).
All models feature a two-roller inking
system and a 48-inch (1220-mm) circumference printing roller. Power
requirements are 220 Volt, 50/60 Hz single phase service. The 1 HP
enclosed drive motor is fan cooled, with a variable speed dial control.
Available options include the high-speed feature, recirculating ink pump,
a Kiwi Model SC Stacker Conveyor, Conveyor Catcher and totalizing counter.
Special width and circumferential printers can also be supplied.
