Bringing digital versatility to metal decorating: The MetJET ONE combines digital inkjet technology with flexible short-run production workflows.
MetJET ONE
Multi-Pass Digital Metal Printing Machine
- High print quality delivered through modern digital inkjet technology
- Speeds up to 390 sheets/hour support reduced cost of ownership
- Short set-up times and UV-LED curing lower operating costs
- Scalable configurations precisely adapted to your specific production requirements
- Intuitive HMI and clear architecture simplify digital press operation
- Extended colour gamut via light inks and optional white ink
The Cost-Effective Entry into High-Quality Digital Metal Decorating
The MetJET ONE has turned the vision of an affordable digital printing solution for the metal packaging market into reality. The result is digitally decorated metal packaging that meets even demanding requirements. This is made possible on the one hand by sheet handling modules, which have been familiar to the market for years in connection with analogue production systems. On the other hand, the printing unit optimised for metal printing contributes significantly to ensuring that sharp and high-precision printing results are stacked at the end of the production line.
Unique features include Venturi transport systems, the innovative integration of a gripper system in material transport, a robust and reliable inkjet system with a resolution of up to 900 x 1,200 dpi, and a feeder and stacking system couldn’t be better suited to the industry.
This combination delivers high cost efficiency and operational flexibility to strengthen your competitive edge and long-term profitability. The result: a versatile, long-term investable printing platform engineered to confidently adapt to demanding and rapidly changing production requirements.
- Roller conveyor systems and turntable for customised pallet loading from several directions
- Easy and fast changes of pallets
- Alternative pallet loading and unloading via chain conveyors available
- Single sheet feeder for automated substrate handling
- Simple operation thanks to local controls and optional logistics for fast loading
- Specific upgrade packages for aluminium and scroll sheets
- Electronic synchronisation to the printing unit
- Robust and durable design including double sheet control and ejection
- Single sheet stream coming from the feeder is precisely aligned at three intermediate positions using Venturi transport systems
- Gripper closure on the sheet
- To maintain high alignment accuracy, the sheets remain in the gripper lock until controlled transfer to the throughfeed of the printing unit
- Multi-pass UV-LED Inkjet system with integrated UV-LED curing designed for high-resolution printing
- CMYK + Light Cyan + Light Magenta + optional Spot White
- Maximum resolution of 900 x 1 200 dpi
- Performance of up to 390 sheets/hour and integrated safety system to safeguard the print heads
- Operator’s cockpit for easy and intuitive operation of the printing unit
- Transfer of the printed sheets on three lanes and transport to three intermediate positions
- Direction change: accurate, synchronous delivery of three sheets on one lane to the following line components
- No manual format adjustments needed
- Acceleration of the sheets to standard speed ensures free selection of downstream units
- Easy ejection of single sheets for visual inspection
- Alternatively: Interface for second feeder and hybrid use of the line (dedicated use of downstream line units without digital printing – particularly if MetalCoat is installed)
- Inline coating for optimised process efficiency
- Inline inspection for continuous quality control
- Conveyors for special applications
- Modular architecture enables multiple box design options to facilitate quick and frequent job changes
- Suitable for tinplate or aluminium
- Smooth, quiet and controlled stacking reduces sheet damage to maximise sheet usability across the pile
- Convenient unloading with optional roller or chain conveyor tracks

1) Printability is decisively influenced by the flexural rigidity and evenness of the substrate and can be qualitatively limited in the edge area (upgrades available for optimisation). 2) A stricter tolerance of max. +/- 1.5 mm must be applied to any deviation of a sheet from the optimum flatness – whether due to damage or waviness. However, any deviation from the optimum flatness will have a negative impact on the print quality and/or the production speed. 3) Depending on quality, format and thickness of sheets, inks, etc. as well as colour setting specification of the printing job. Achievement of the listed capabilities may be subject to optional equipment. | ||
