No manual adjustment needed Integrated substrate delivery section – including web preparation Multi flexo abilities – UV/LED, water-based and solvent inks

PEAK PERFORMANCE THROUGH DESIGN AND AUTOMATION

The FA-26 is built on a clear idea: Transferring the proven strengths of label printing into flexible packaging production. Fast job changes, minimum waste, consistent high print quality and true inline
production – without compromising flexibility.

At the core of the FA-26 is Nilpeter’s unique one-frameunit construction. All printing units are manufactured from identical machine frames, processed in one single operation. This minimises tolerances across the
press and ensures that job parameters can be saved and recalled with a very high level of repeatability.

The result is predictable setups, stable production and less time spent on fine adjustments. The FA-26 supports UV, UV-LED, water-based, and
solvent-based flexo, allowing converters to handle a wide range of packaging structures on one platform. From thin films to heavier substrates, the press maintains precise web control and consistent tension, even at high speeds. Designed in a landscape configuration with a strong focus on accessibility and operator logic, the FA-26
combines ease of use with advanced automation.

Inline converting, coating and lamination options make it possible to go from substrate to finished packaging in one pass – efficiently and reliably. The FA-26 is not about adding complexity. It is about
controlled precision, flexibility and repeatable performance, engineered for the future of flexible packaging. To support different production requirements and application needs, the FA-26 can be configured with a wide range of inline solutions and automation features, including:

Automatic butt-splicer and turret rewinder
Inline slitting
Cold foil
Screen printing
Gravure
Die-cutting
Inline unwind unit
UV-lamination
Heated lamination
E-beam lamination
Optional rail-based solutions
Inert gas solution available
Advanced automation package with extended job
library and job-based machine settings
Automatic register systems, including advanced
camera-based register control and no-mark register
functionality
Advanced press monitoring and data collection for
optimised uptime and consistent quality

UV / UV-LED / INERT GAS

Flexible curing solutions supporting UV and UV-LED, with optional inert gas for enhanced curing efficiency and surface quality.

Hot air

High-efficiency hot air drying designed for
water-based inks and for solvent applications
where relevant, featuring controlled airflow
and stable drying performance.

UV-LAMINATION

Inline UV lamination for consistent bonding
and high-quality laminate structures in a
single pass.

INK CHAMBERS

Actively temperature-controlled ink chambers
ensuring stable ink viscosity and consistent
print quality.

Create your own versatility

The FA-26 is prepared for all Nilpeter value-adding units, OEM-auxiliaries, and with multiple drying and curing options. The innovative landscape design enables unmatched customisation opportunities, allowing you to configure the FA-26 to meet varying printing requirements.

With the FA-26 special features, flexible drying, and curing solutions, the printer can pursue new market opportunities in wider web product packaging, while saving tooling costs, production time, and floor space.
