Industrial Rotogravure Printing Machine & Gravure Line
Engineered to eliminate high-speed register drift and volatile solvent loss across multi-layer flexible packaging, OYANG's industrial rotogravure printing machine (high-speed gravure printing machine) lines deliver synchronized continuous roll converting up to 400 m/min. Utilizing dedicated Electronic Line Shaft (ELS) servo drives and heavy-duty 75mm nodular cast iron frames processed on Japanese MAZAK CNC centers, our presses maintain an automatic register tolerance of ≤±0.05mm across thin BOPP, PET, BOPA nylon, aluminum foil, and coated kraft paper, curtailing startup substrate waste to < 0.25%.

5 Key Advantages Across the OYANG Gravure Series
How precision Japanese machining and thermodynamically optimized drying eliminate register drift and solvent waste.
Mechanical Rigidity & Dynamic Resonance Control Standards
At line speeds reaching 400 m/min, rotational inertia and cylinder impression forces risk harmonic micro-vibrations in lightweight fabricated frames. OYANG eliminates dynamic register drift through structural rigidity standards verified across in-house Japanese MAZAK & OKUMA CNC lines:
| Structural / Dynamic Subsystem | Engineering Tolerance & Material | High-Speed Performance Guarantee |
|---|---|---|
| Wall Panel Casting | 75mm QT500-7 Nodular Cast Iron | High internal damping capacity absorbs operational vibrations, shifting resonance frequencies far above the 450 m/min zone. |
| MAZAK CNC Panel Planarity | ≤ 0.015 mm overall flatness | Precision-bored shaft centers guarantee parallel cylinder contact across 1,350mm web widths, preventing uneven nip pressure. |
| Dynamic Register Locking | ≤ ±0.05 mm (longitudinal & lateral) | Integrated B&R / Kersai ELS bus automatically compensates cylinder phase angles within 10 milliseconds during roll splicing. |
| Tension Closed-Loop Stability | ≤ ±0.3 kgf dynamic deviation | Low-inertia floating dancer rollers compensate web elongation across thin 12μm PET and 15μm BOPA barrier films. |
By combining stress-relief thermal annealing with box-type rib reinforced wall frames, the press maintains absolute mechanical alignment across 24-hour continuous converting cycles, eliminating color ghosting, doctor blade chatter, and cylinder deflection.
Tower Dual-Station — Non-Stop Roll Change at Full Speed
All models feature a tower-type dual-station unwind and rewind structure. When a roll reaches its terminal diameter, the servo-driven turret arm rotates and automatically splices the web at full operating speed (up to 400 m/min). This eliminates line deceleration, avoids registration shifts during changeovers, and delivers uninterrupted output across 24-hour manufacturing shifts.
≤±0.05mm Register Accuracy — Closed-Loop Dynamic Tension
A low-friction ultra-light dancer roller coupled with high-resolution magnetic powder brake and dual servo infeed units provides continuous real-time tension compensation (≤±0.3 kgf). The high-speed fiber-optic pre-registration system locks colors in a single pass during ramp-up, minimizing substrate waste during machine startup.
ELS Electronic Shaft — One-Key Setup & 3,000-Recipe Storage
By replacing mechanical drive shafts with Austrian B&R or Kersai servo motion controllers, each print cylinder operates as an independent virtual electronic axis. The system synchronizes phase angles via high-speed Ethernet POWERLINK bus. Operators can recall tension curves, oven temperatures, and register offsets for up to 3,000 repeat orders in under 2 minutes.
Fully Enclosed Ink Trough — Solvent Loss Reduction
HONOR 3.5 PLUS and HONOR 4.0 feature a Teflon-coated, aerodynamically sealed ink system. By preventing ambient air induction across the ink surface, volatile organic solvent evaporation is curtailed by over 30%, saving up to ¥600,000 annually per line. The rigid box-type doctor blade features 3D micro-adjustment to prevent ink spitting and blade chatter marks.
Thermodynamic Drying Efficiency & Heat Recovery
Featuring variable-frequency air recirculation with nozzle jet velocities exceeding 40 m/s, OYANG ovens generate high boundary-layer turbulence to evaporate solvents with minimal substrate heating. Five-sided rock wool thermal insulation limits exterior shell temperatures to below 40°C, reducing electrical consumption by 15–20% compared to conventional air impingement systems.
8-Step Rotogravure Printing Process
How roll-fed substrates pass through the intaglio printing units to achieve precision packaging films.
Dual-position turret with flying splice mechanism changes full-speed rolls up to 400 m/min without tension disruption.
Ultra-sensitive floating dancer roller actively compensates web expansion, providing stable ±0.3 kgf infeed tension.
Independent servo motors drive the engraved cylinder, applying micro-dosed inks directly with ≤±0.05mm register accuracy.
Nozzle velocity exceeding 40 m/s accelerates solvent release, ensuring complete drying with residual solvents below EU food packaging thresholds.
Internal spiral-flow water-cooled rollers (Φ150mm) rapidly cool films back to ambient temperatures to prevent post-print stretching.
Servo-controlled taper tension algorithm dynamically matches increasing roll diameter, eliminating telescoping rolls.
Linear cutter and pre-drive roll rotation execute non-stop automatic core switching when the target length is completed.
High-density printed rolls transfer straight to OYANG solvent-free laminators and pouch making machines with zero edge-trim waste.
