WHY THIS RACER 1000?

✔ Dedicated Converting Solution
The RACER 1000 provides an economical way of separating printing and finishing operations. Printing presses can remain available for productive printing while appropriate converting operations are performed independently on a dedicated machine.

✔ Additional Production Capacity
A standalone finishing machine can significantly increase overall production flexibility. Jobs can be converted independently from the main printing equipment, helping to optimise workflow and make better use of existing printing capacity.

Potential production benefits include:

• Reduced production bottlenecks
• Increased printing press availability
• Improved production planning
• Independent finishing of printed rolls
• Efficient processing of short and medium production runs

✔ Flexible Integration into Existing Production
The RACER 1000 can be integrated into an existing label production environment as an additional converting platform. This makes it particularly interesting for companies looking to expand their finishing capacity without investing in another complete printing press.

✔ Better Utilisation of Printing Equipment
Moving suitable finishing operations to a dedicated offline machine can free valuable capacity on the main printing presses. This allows higher-value printing equipment to concentrate on its primary task – printing.

✔ Cost-Efficient Entry into Offline Finishing
For converters requiring additional finishing capacity, a compact used converting machine can represent a considerably lower investment compared with purchasing a new complete production line.

The machine can therefore be particularly interesting for:

• Small and medium-sized label converters
• Additional production capacity
• Backup production
• Dedicated finishing work
• Short-run converting applications

FGT MACHINE RATING – 6/10 ⭐

• ✔ Compact dedicated converting platform
• ✔ Interesting addition to existing label production environments
• ✔ Can help free valuable capacity on printing presses
• ✔ Suitable concept for independent offline finishing
• ✔ Potentially attractive investment for smaller and medium-sized converters
• ✔ Useful as additional or backup converting capacity
• ➜ Final rating may be adjusted once the complete installed configuration and technical condition have been verified
