Gietz FSA 870 Compact
The FSA 870 Compact is used in the print
finishing of folded boxes, for example in the
Food area (chocolate, confectionery) or the Nonfood area (cosmetics), as well as in the print
finishing of printed matter (labels, book covers,
greeting cards or magazines). The FSA 870
Compact is also the machine of choice for many
companies in the Security industry. These Gietz
machines have proved their worth over decades
for the application of registered and hologram
patches and non-registered hologram stripes onto
banknotes, official documents and in the field of
trademark protection.
1. Reliable, fast, precise
The FSA 870 Compact is renowned for its registration accuracy, the excellent quality of the foil stamping and high production speed.
2.Short change-over times
Easy access to the foils and stamping dies, which can be quickly replaced and positioned.
3.150 metric tons of pressure
Maximum pressure at full production speed for the highest level of added value in the foil stamping and embossing process.
4.Dwell time
Due to a mature press mechanism, the dwell times under pressure of the Gietz machines remain unique. As standard, the FSA 870 Compact offers a dwell time that is 25% longer than that of our competitors. This results in lower foil stamping temperatures and less pressure is required. The dwell time can additionally be extended up to a maximum of 2.5 seconds: e.g. for deep, large surface area foiling and embossing.
5. Longitudinal and transverse foil feed
The foil can be fed through the machine in line with the sheet running direction, and/or transverse to it
6. Foil unwinding
Diameter-controlled or externally regulated foil unwinds with pneumatic brake for 1″ and 3″ cores guarantee a precise and smooth foil feed.
7. Hologram application technology
For the application of single-picture holograms for the security industry, Gietz is long established as a well-proven supplier of industry leading technologies.
8. Core competence and service life
Since more than half a century, Gietz has focussed on foil stamping, and Gietz machines are first and foremost designed as foil stamping and embossing systems. User experiences with hundreds of machines have been consistently incorporated and integrated into their design. A Gietz is a Gietz: it foil stamps and embosses giving the highest quality, often for more than 20 years before requiring the first overhaul.
9. Price-performance ratio
The very highest stamping quality, maximum production speed, extremely long service life and reliability. A Gietz machine is well worth its price.
