Rotogravure Cylinder Manufacturing and Tooling by Heimann Hamm

German manufacturer Graphische Technik und Handel Heimann GmbH has delivered dedicated solutions for rotogravure packaging and decor printing for over 50 years.

The company covers every cylinder manufacturing phase from electrolytic copper plating and mechanical turning to precision diamond engraving and final hard chrome finishing. Integrated tooling guarantees consistent cell transfer across long industrial production runs.

Engineering Advantages of Heimann SmartRakel Doctor Blade Clamping

The patented Heimann SmartRakel blade clamping mechanism provides rapid and secure blade changeovers without requiring multiple manual adjustment screws.

Uniform pneumatic and mechanical pressure distribution prevents blade buckling under thermal expansion in heated ink pans. The system shortens setup times between printing jobs and protects expensive gravure cylinders against premature scoring or edge chipping.

Natural Diamond Engraving Styli for Electromechanical Engravers

Heimann produces precision engraving burins exclusively from select natural single-crystal diamonds to meet tight geometric tolerances on modern engraving heads.

Precision ground cutting angles ranging between 110 and 140 degrees generate consistent pyramidal cell geometry without tearing copper cell walls. Exceptional diamond hardness ensures extended operational lifetimes across large cylinder engraving batches.

Residual Solvent Analysis in Packaging via QFID-100HR Gas Chromatography

The QFID-100HR analytical system provides automated laboratory inspection of volatile residual solvents across printed flexible plastic and paper packaging.

An integrated headspace sampler eliminates manual liquid extraction, injecting volatile headspace vapor straight into the chromatographic separation column. With an automated 8-minute cycle per vial, operators adjust drying tunnel airflow in real time to meet food safety standards.

Double-Sided Contact Substrate Web Cleaning for High-Speed Presses

Heimann C02-0070 web cleaning systems effectively remove slitting dust, paper lint, and electrostatic charge from both sides of running substrates prior to printing.

Specially formulated elastomer contact rollers continuously lift debris from film or foil webs, transferring contaminants onto renewable adhesive rolls. Pneumatic pressure controls ensure gentle, uniform cleaning across delicate films without inducing substrate stretch.

Inspected Second-Hand Printing Machinery Relocation and Turnkey Setup

The used equipment portfolio from Heimann Hamm features tested rotogravure presses, flexographic printing machines, and solventless laminators from European plants.

Specialist field engineers conduct comprehensive mechanical audits, match-marked dismantling, heavy-cargo transport, precise alignment rigging, and trial test printing on the client site with full commissioning verification.
