RHINO™ sets new standards with 30’000 strokes and 3D foil

With a 70% performance increase compared to the legendary first RHINO™ introduced in 2010, Pantec offers a stunning fast running answer for the growing requirements for multi-effect foil-embossing. In the wine and spirits labels market, RHINO™ IIS provides best economy for single pass, short and long runs with small, inexpensive and quick setup tools.

Within the last seven years, more than 80 RHINO™ flatbed embossing systems changed the world of wine and spirit label decoration. As traditional label refining with hot foil has a substantial influence on the production costs of high quality labels - and usually also increases lead times, the Pantec in-line capable RHINO™ flatbed multi-foil embossing system changed the production rules and allowed cost effective high end label production in a single pass. With the increasing demand of higher numbers of foil effects, a higher multistroke performance is required by a multi-effect decoration system to ensure an economic single pass production in future. The 30’000 strokes per hour of RHINO™ IIS combined with a higher embossing tonnage ensure that labels with a high number of decoration effects and extraordinary demands on quality can be produced in-line without any loss of overall press performance.

RHINO™: Combination of modern embellishment technologies on a single system helps printers to differentiate

The flat bed embossing system RHINO™ offers everything the market for wine and spirit labels is expecting from modern embellishment, e.g. unique features like registered 3D foil and micro-embossing in combination with different foil colors: all combined on a single, small tool. With the Pantec servo technology, RHINO™ IIS registers 3D lenses at full speed, precisely. Due to the multi-stepping and the format-free multi-foiling of RHINO™, these features are done combined on one single tool, allowing the job to be run in-line in a single pass. 

Today, more than 80 RHINO™ flatbed systems help label printers worldwide to differentiate and offer complex designs cost effectively. RHINO™ systems are running in almost all presses: Mark Andy, Gallus, MPS, Miyakoshi, Nilpeter, OMET, Rotatek, Lombardi and fast running offline systems.

Complex 3 foil design at record speed, live at LABELEXPO

To underline the efficiency of single pass embellishment Pantec demonstrated the production of a sophisticated 3 foil rum label live at their booth with RHINO™ IIS. The design convinced with a precisely registered 3D effect lens, gloss-matt emphasizing with transparent foil and uncoated substrate and 3D beveled nanoembossed brand name. The label was produced with RHINO™ IIS at 30’000 strokes/hour, 70% faster than the legendary RHINO™ which was introduced in 2010. 

RHINO™ Flat bed processing – perfect for uncoated material

Especially uncoated structured papers with a rotary hot foil system slows down a press. The glue for cold foil is absorbed by uncoated materials. Matt gloss effects with cold foil are very limited. For striking embellishment effects, the use of a flatbed in rotary machines is the alternative.  

The RHINO™ series – flat bed multi foil embossing for rotary and semirotary presses

RHINO™ IIS is latest and most powerful of the RHINO™ series introduced in 2010. The RHINO™ IIS is a foil embossing system with 410 x 410 mm stamping area, revolvable head, 30’000 strokes per hour, registered hologram streams and 6 independent heating zones. It runs at 20% higher speed than RHINO II™ 410 introduced two years ago. The pay back inline is multiplied by the higher usage of the entire press. RHINO™ IIS comes with electronic impression control and higher tonnage. 

With RHINO™ II 250L, Pantec offers the ideal machine to start with. With 250 mm embossing length, the machine fits perfectly for typical 2 stroke wine and spirit label designs.  The system is upgradeable to RHINO™ IIS 410 as business and requirements grow. 

The 330 mm wide RHINO™ 330W fits for semi-rotary machines. With 20’000 strokes per hour and a stamping length of 410 mm its suitable highest complex designs and small jobs.
