Hot Stamping Cylinders

Overview

Bunting® Hot Stamping Cylinders are made from solid steel to achieve ideal heating characteristics for foil stamping.

Bunting® Hot Stamping Cylinders allow precise registration and fast setups right on the press, without time-consuming cool down, and provide top-quality foil transfers even at top press speeds. Benefits include:

•     Replace costly hard tooling with economical flexible plates that store flat to save valuable space.
•     Eliminate make-ready time and materials.
•     Get even, rapid heat transfer from solid steel construction.
•     Maintain precise register with powerful surface-mounted magnets.
•     Reduce false starts and spoilage.
•     Run direct to anvil with durable steel-backed silicone plates.
•     Save the cost of cushion rolls.
•     Get superior results on thin films, plastics, and adhesive-backed labels with reduced stamping pressure
•     Save with this economical alternative to solid tooling.
•     Make short runs more profitable.

Operation:

•    Cylinder temperatures are not to exceed 450°F at any time. (Magnets may start to lose strength, cylinder may swell and foil may burn above these temperatures).
•    80-150 FPM line speeds are typical, with higher speeds distortion becomes an issue.
