Oasis Flower Plant for Plastic, the leading producer of PET preforms and HDPE closures in Saudi Arabia, is to acquire a Comexi F2 MB flexo press in the first joint operation between the two companies. The company has chosen to rely on Comexi’s experience and technology, as it is primarily seeking printing projects to address the needs of various customers, especially those in the beverage sector.
“This is an extremely important operation for us,” says Oriol Rabert, the Comexi Area Manager of this region. “We have demonstrated that our customers, due to our flexographic technology, can achieve identical special colour results as those obtained with a rotogravure press.” This project is in addition to others that Comexi is developing in this region, which also involve the installation of several flexographic printing machines.
Located in Al-Kharj, south of Riyadh, Oasis began operations in 2012. Since then, the company has increased its production capacity every year to manufacture over 5 billion units annually for its customers in the water bottling sector and other industries.
The Comexi F2 MB flexographic press is claimed to not only be the best machine for combining short and medium runs, and but also to manage a full range of flexible packaging applications. The F2 MB features every ergonomic solution of the F2 family. It incorporates GeniusTech solutions to assist printers in conquering the primary challenges they currently face, which include a lack of skilled operators, job length reduction, and an increased number of job changes, among others.
The main importance has been given to solutions that focus on providing the quickest job changeover, such as the GeniusFlow for fast cleaning, various automatic setup solutions, including GeniusSet and GeniusReg to shorten time and minimise waste, or GeniusData, which stores every existing job parameter to be reused, thus shortening the start-up of a new job.
