MARS offers custom designed solutions to electrostatic related problems . We has concentrated on the design and supply of first-class electrostatic printing assist systems and discharging systems, developing real expertise in this area. We has already supplied a great number of ESA systems to customers including member companies of the largest groups involved in the flexible packaging, cigarette package and décor printing industry.
Electrostatic Printing Assist (ESA) is designed to optimize the transfer of ink from the gravure cylinder to the printing substrate by creating an electric field in the area of the nip to assist the capillary action of the gravure process. The result is the elimination or reduction of “dot skip“ or “missing dots“ and the ability to produce quality of a consistently high standard over long running periods without the need to make changes to machine settings (viscosity, impression roller, cleaning the gravure cylinder cells, etc.) along with high productivity and maximum standards of safety. In addition to this, EST electrostatic discharging systems assist customers in the printing and plastics processing industries to successfully “eliminate static charges” in machines such as winders, slitters and laminating machines, so ensuring smooth and safe production processes
Our systems are tested and certified to the latest ATEX safety standards and are characterized by their reliability, their low maintenance design and their user friendliness.
