Another new web finishing machine is the Av-Pro web thermography unit from Glendale, Arizona-based Form Flo Equipment Manufacturers. With a maximum rated speed of 500 fpm, the unit sets new productivity benchmarks for this process.
Web finishing also plays an important role in manufacturing the growing number of small roll products sold by forms suppliers. This category includes thermal and other types of labels for on-site imprinting, forms for point-of-sale printers, ATM forms, lottery tickets, general purpose la-bels and rolls of fax paper. The specialized slitting and rewinding equipment needed for production of small rolls is found in many label and paper converting plants, and several forms producers have also added small roll capabilities.
