Daco PLD250 bench top rotary die cutter with a semi automatic turret rewinder for the converting of blank / plain labels

Daco PLD250 tabletop rotary die cutter for the production of plain labels.  The machine is equipped with a single rotary die station, rotary slitting and a semi automatic turret rewinder.

Daco PLD250 Tabletop Rotary Die Cutter With A Semi Automatic Turret Rewinder

The Daco PLD 250 offers all the benefits of turret rewinding but with very quick make ready times unlike conventional rewinding. This allows shorter runs to be produced both quickly and more efficiently. 

The machine is available as a rewinder, or with the addition of a rotary die cutter it is a cost effective solution to blank / plain label converting with a production speed of 150m/minute. The PLD is available with either one or two rotary die stations.

The rotary die cutter can also be used as a slitter rewinder for the finishing of pre-printed labels by removing the rotary die from the die unit.

    • Maximum unwind diameter: 457mm (18")
    • 76mm (3") mechanical mandrel
    • Merobel electromagnetic particle brake
    • Automatic taper tension control
    • End of roll function - The user is able to program the roll end diameter – slowdown and/or stop - The system does not use any roll followers or external sensors that can be damaged at roll changes.  The diameter is programmed from the touch screen operator interface.
  • Web guide
    • BST electronic web guide.
    • Ultrasonic sensor – enables guiding of opaque and clear materials.
    • Adjustable web guide sensor.
    • +/- 12.5mm (1/2") correction.
  • Die Station  
    • 153 - 406 (6"-16") die repeats.
    • Rotometrics through hardened anvil - 120T - 15" repeat.
    • Gearing - 1/8 cp, 20 degree pressure angle.
    • A driven matrix stripping roller with adjustable tension control ensures reliable matrix stripping, enabling high speed running even if the matrix rewind becomes unstable.
    • Matrix / Waste Rewind -400mm (15.75")diameter.
    • 76mm (3") mechanical mandrel for waste rewind.
  • Draw Head
    • Silicone nip roller against a driven draw roller.
    • The silicone nip roller does not allow labels to attach themselves to it reducing down time.
    • Fully adjustable to allow for different label stocks.
    • The draw roller is driven by a 1.5Kw (2 hp) motor.
  • Slitting
    • 3 quick set rotary scissor slitting knives (shear knife).

  • Count Facility
    • Labels
    • Linear - metres
    • Programmable auto slow down and stop when the count is reached.
  • Speed - 150 metres / minute - 492 feet / minute  - dependent on material
