Balanced Automation

Apex Series is a Servo Gear Driven CI platform—servo control plus precision gear transmission for converters upgrading from conventional gear drive to higher automation and register efficiency.

01

Servo Gear Driven Control

Servo motor control combined with precision gear transmission improves printing stability and production efficiency.

02

Automatic Register Control

Camera-based register control maintains consistent color alignment during continuous production.

03

Automation & Production Efficiency

Servo gear automation reduces operator load and improves uptime on continuous flexible packaging jobs.

04

Efficient Production Balance

Designed for manufacturers requiring higher automation than conventional gear drive—Balanced Automation without flagship complexity.

Film Handling & Substrates

Flexible Packaging Focus

Unlike paper converting, flexible packaging performance is defined by thin-film tension stability. Apex Series is engineered for low-elongation film handling across PE, PET, BOPP, CPP and laminated webs.

01

Closed-loop tension control

Independent tension zones continuously correct stretch and speed change on thin films.

02

Low elongation film handling

Stable web path control reduces elongation-related register drift on PE and laminates.

03

Edge guiding

Precise edge alignment keeps film tracking stable through continuous multi-SKU production runs.

04

Corona treatment compatibility

Supports corona-treated film workflows for reliable ink wetting and adhesion on PE / BOPP / PET.

Applicable Films

Snack & confectionery

PET

Barrier & food packs

Mazak 5-Axis Machining Center

Central cylinder slides and core mounting frameworks are milled in a single-stage clamping setup for consistent CI drum alignment in continuous production.

Heavy-duty gantry milling for Apex Series flexible packaging flexo press

Heavy-Duty Gantry Milling

Processes monolithic cast-iron wallboards (up to 120 mm thickness). Reduces structural vibration for stable multi-shift film converting.

Production ROI

Apex Series improves production ROI through servo gear automation, stable long-run output and balanced CapEx for industrial CI film production—keeping industrial reliability on film webs.

01

Faster SKU changeover

02

Reduced setup waste on film webs

03

Lower material loss

Apex Series 8 Color · Multi-Color Packaging Capability

Flexible packaging print samples from Apex Series CI flexo press

01 · Snack Packaging

Thin-film tension + register stability

Maintains solid coverage and brand graphics on BOPP, PET and PE snack films at speed. Suitable for confectionery, chips and industrial film converting where edge sharpness and color density must hold across long runs.

02 · Stand-Up Pouches

Stable print on laminated structures

Delivers clean boundaries and vivid dots on PE / CPP / composite laminated pouch structures. Controlled drying and closed-loop register protect brand graphics where film stretch and heat load can otherwise shift color-to-color alignment.

03 · Frozen Food & Coffee Packaging

Brand color for frozen food and coffee bags

Supports brand graphics for frozen food packaging and coffee bags on BOPP, PET, PE and laminated structures. Servo gear drive and automatic register keep color consistent through continuous flexible packaging production.

Why Upgrade · Servo Gear Driven vs Conventional Gear Drive

Apex Selection Logic

Apex pages use a different comparison logic from Master. Here the question is not “why buy flagship”—it is why upgrade from conventional gear drive to Servo Gear Driven automation, register control and production efficiency.

Buyer reason

Upgrade path — CI Flexo · Balanced Automation

LISHG Series Roles

Note: Master selection logic (flagship vs conventional) is not used on Apex pages. Apex owns the upgrade story: Servo Gear Driven vs Conventional Gear Drive (mechanical gear, no servo). Series cut: Apex = long-run Servo Gear Driven; King = Sleeve CI multi-SKU flexibility.

Apex vs King: Same speed class, different job mix — Apex = Servo Gear Driven · long-run stability · balanced automation; King = Sleeve CI · frequent changeover · multi-SKU flexibility. Choose King when SKU switches dominate; choose Apex when long-run film output and ownership cost dominate.
