Faster Printing with Single-pass Multi-drop DTO printing technology
The QUANTIX DIGITAL single-pass digital printing technology delivers higher productivity, and the high-quality graphics are printed in a single pass maximizing your printing speed.
The NOVUM CAN model of DTO digital printing systems are running in production decorating beverage cans at 80ppm in a single machine, and when ethernet linked with two or three NOVUM CAN units the printing speeds rise to 160ppm or 240ppm respectively. One industry standard Palletizing and Depalletizing unit can be utilized with 1, 2 or 3 NOVUM CAN machines without complications or system upgrades required. With this modular approach you can grow your digital can printing services in steps.
The NOVUM CAP model runs wine bottle screw top caps at speeds up to 240ppm (2-up production in a single unit) and the NOVUM CAP model will decorate both the cylinder as well as the top of the screw caps in a single pass. Aluminum caps are bowl-fed into the system automatically.
The Quantix Digital single pass/ multi-drop printing technology replaces the competitors multi-pass variant (which involves multiple passes around the cylinder to create a like looking graphic) and therefore our single pass/ multi-drop printing process is dramatically faster and economical. The productivity and reliability of the Novum DTO digital printing systems for decorating round products is markedly higher when compared with other digital printing systems currently on the market. Furthermore, the straight-forward approach to the systems engineering and design make these QUANTIX DIGITAL DTO digital printing systems easy to operate and maintain.
