As the industry moves toward smart, efficient, eco-friendly printing, equipment performance is what truly shapes an enterprise’s core competitiveness. Changhong’s new Gearless CI Flexo Printing Machine 6-color with non-stop roll changing resets industry standards through innovative tech. Combining full-servo drive systems and non-stop roll changing, it scores dual breakthroughs in precision color registration and zero-waste production. This advanced gear ramps up productivity for packaging and label printing firms, redefining the value of high-end flexographic printing solutions.
I. Decoding the Core: What is a Gearless Flexographic Printing Machine?
A Gearless Flexographic Printing Machine represents the high-end evolution of flexo printing technology. It replaces traditional mechanical transmission systems with full-servo drives, serving as the core upgrade for achieving higher printing precision and operational stability in modern press equipment.
Its core working principle hinges on independent servo motors—they precisely control each printing unit’s operation, letting speed, tension, and pressure adjust dynamically in real time. This totally eliminates common headaches with traditional mechanical drives: machine vibration, roller marks, and registration deviations.

Versus conventional models, full-servo flexo printing press stands out with clear advantages:
● Holds stable registration accuracy of ±0.1mm, hitting a max printing speed of 500 meters per minute.
● color setup faithfully reproduces subtle color gradients and intricate graphics/text.
● Built-in data storage saves key parameters—registration positions, printing pressure included—and retrieves them fast. This slashes plate change and setup time significantly, dropping start-up waste rates to an ultra-low industry standard.

II. Core Breakthrough: The Revolutionary Value of Non-Stop Roll Changing Functionality
Changhong's 6 Color Gearless CI Flexo Printing Machine is equipped with a dual-station non-stop roll changing system, which completely resolves the longstanding industry challenge of mandatory machine shutdowns for roll replacement in conventional presses, realizing seamless continuity in the production process. Compared with traditional single-station equipment, it offers three revolutionary advantages:
1.Doubled Efficiency & Leapfrog Productivity Growth
Traditional presses need to shut down for roll changes—this takes time and breaks the production rhythm. On the other hand, this full-servo press uses a dual-station non-stop roll changing mechanism. When the main station’s material roll is nearly used up, operators can pre-load a new roll on the auxiliary station. High-precision sensors monitor roll status and trigger automatic splicing, boosting production continuity significantly. It’s ideal for long-run orders and continuous production, raising daily output notably.
2.Zero-Waste Production & Direct Cost Reduction
Shutdowns for roll changes in conventional equipment usually cause material waste, higher energy use, and increased labor costs. But the non-stop roll changing system keeps tension steady during switches via precise servo tension control and pre-registration, avoiding pattern misalignment for true zero-waste production. The entire process is fully automated, minimizing manual work. Paired with a closed dual-scraper ink supply system, it cuts down on ink and power consumption sharply, effectively controlling overall production costs.
3.Versatile Material Compatibility & Maximum Operational Stability
Most traditional non-stop roll changers struggle with material compatibility and tend to have splicing issues when handling films and deformable substrates. Changhong’s press adopts zero-speed automatic butt splicing, ensuring precise end-to-end alignment of material rolls. This prevents damage to flexographic resin plates from improper splicing. The press handles a wide range of materials reliably—including OPP, PET, PVC plastic films, paper, aluminum foil, and non-woven fabrics. Splicing stays highly stable and accurate, with the equipment boasting an extremely low maintenance rate.

III. Versatile Adaptability: Meeting Full-Scenario Printing Needs
Boasting wide material compatibility and high-precision printing, Changhong’s new Gearless Flexographic Printing Press fully meets diverse printing demands in packaging, labels, and hygiene products. It’s an all-round printing partner for multiple industries.
1.Packaging Material Printing: Quality & Efficiency in One
It works with various packaging substrates—PP, PE, PET plastic films, aluminum foil, paper included—suiting high-end packaging production for food, beverages, daily necessities, etc. For plastic film printing, full-servo precision pressure control enables low-tension printing, avoiding film stretching and deformation. This keeps registration accuracy consistent throughout production, resulting in printed products with vivid colors and sharp graphics/text.
2.Label Printing: Precision for High-End Demands
Tailored for label printing, the press efficiently handles large-volume production of food labels, beverage bottle labels, and more. Its 6-color configuration accurately reproduces complex graphics and color gradients, while high-line-screen halftone printing meets the needs for fine text and intricate patterns.
3.Special Material Printing: Expanding Application Boundaries
This press handles non-woven fabrics for tissues and hygiene products reliably. Flexographic plates’ elasticity and low-pressure printing let it deliver solid quality—even on thick or uneven substrates—without damaging the material. It also works with eco-friendly water-based inks, meeting the hygiene industry’s strict environmental rules and opening up more uses.
