Edale launch the new Alpha Multi

March 2010 will see the launch of the new Edale ‘Alpha Multi’, designed and manufactured in house at Edale. The Alpha Multi has all the benefits of the renowned Alpha yet can print up to 9-colours in a footprint of just 5 square metres. The Alpha Multi can be purchased as an upgrade to an original Alpha or as a brand new stand alone press. The new Alpha Multi has the same short web path and quick job change as the original Alpha and offers all the benefits of a modular machine but at a fraction of the price.
Edale is the UK’s leading manufacturer of narrow web flexographic presses and converting machinery, with an impressive record of innovation and development. The award-winning Alpha is Edale’s compact three, four or five-colour flexopress available in 250 mm and 330 mm web widths, with a footprint of just 2.5 square metres. With sales of the Edale Alpha now at well over 150 machines, in over 50 countries around the world this compact press is becoming the favourite with both large and small companies alike. Following changes in the market worldwide, Edale are demonstrating to be ahead of the competition, cost effective and creative, this is being proved with the latest development of the Alpha - the Alpha Multi. Talented designers and engineers have recently designed and manufactured in-house this new flexopress which can print up to 9-colours in a footprint of just 5 square metres.
The unique twin stack arrangement has the added benefit of allowing one stack to be in production whilst the second stack is being made-ready. Martin Jackson, Director of Kingfisher Labels, purchased the first Alpha Multi from Edale and said, "The compact footprint and its ability to run a 5-colour or a 9-colour thread up ensures minimum waste which appeals to Kingfisher Labels as it allows maximum flexibility on existing projects as well as providing expanded capabilities as future trends and production requirements dictate."
Edale Ltd is holding an open event to new and existing customers during the first week of March to experience the new Alpha Multi.
The event will be held at Edale’s new facilities in Hampshire.
