Applies Proven Technology for Quality Bottle Branding

Kammann Machines, Inc. has announced that it has successfully transferred its precision-based screen print technology to the direct bottle branding process. The Kammann K15-F is a universal screen-printing machine for the decoration of cylindrical, conical, oval and flat containers.

"Direct bottle branding offers many advantages over conventional label printing, and the K15-F was designed to provide the most versatile, highest-quality direct printing on the market," said Steve Gilbertson, President of Kammann. "In addition, our production partners allow us to provide a turn-key solution to companies that want to create a high-quality image while realizing cost savings and ecofriendly processing."

The K15-F offers the advantages of screen printing, along with superior production methods:

- Superior Look and Feel. Direct screen printing supports a vast variety of strong opaque colors and a Superior tactile feel to the container, for a high-quality image.
- Simplified Tooling. The K15-F’s simplified retooling method saves companies hours in retooling time and training.
- Eco-Friendly. Direct printing eliminates labels and glue that typically add years to the decomposition of the container. Screen printing also results in cleaner recycled scrap.
- Circular Design and Compact Footprint. Changeover times are minimized with the K15-F, due to 16 bottle carrier stations in one pass of the round indexing table. In addition, the K15-F is offered in a space-saving footprint, and can minimize handling by being placed closer to the molding machines feeding it.

Kammann has provided field-proven precision-based print and converting solutions since 1978, and sets the standard for innovation, performance, and superior design.
