Manual Foil Shaft Changer - MFSC
MFSC is an easy tool for preparing fresh reels and empty cores before or during production. The MFSC exist of 1 SPF frame, one extra frame and: Integrated rulers for optimum reel placement. Easily transportable by forklift or pallet truck. Can be positioned on the operator side or the drive side of the printing press 2 (two) additional 3” bi-directional locking shafts.
Overhead Real Manipulator - ORM
The overhead Reel Manipulator reduces changeover times to a minimum. It is possible to load and unload two locking shafts (unwinding & rewinding) at the same time. Changing the reels takes place at ground level, which ensures a very easy and safe operation. With this option, an external crane is not needed.
Shaft Preparation frame - SPF
With the shaft preparation frame, two shafts (unwinding and rewinding can be (un)loaded simultaneously. The frame can then be easily moved by a pallet truck to the desired location to unload the rolls and load the new ones.
The principle of the Vinfoil Venusta SF80/SF110MF
- Continuous foil drive while both cylinder gaps are facing each other by use of the special engineered Direct Foil Drive roller. This Vinfoil technology ensures perfect synchronization of circumference speed of the press with the cold foil web.
- MFU® is redirecting the cold transfer web back into the printing nip after transferring parts of the metallic layer for the first time. Our standard version uses a foil web that can be used up to 2 times and optionally up to 3 times to generate optimal utilization of the cold foil reel
- It is not necessary to stop and restart the foil web with every turn of the cylinder-like in systems using indexing
The principle
UV Film Casting
The UV coating can be applied partly or in solids from a printing unit using an offset plate or from a coating unit using a striped blanket or a flexo plate.
During the transfer of the pattern, the holographic texture of the foil comes in contact with the wet UV coating on top of the printing sheet. During this contact, the UV coating is being cured through the transparent holographic film. The result is a vice versa of the holographic film pattern on the printed sheet.
After the pattern has been transferred and the UV coating has been cured the plastic film is released from the sheet surface. The plastic film for UV film casting can be used multiple times until the pattern on the plastic is fading away or the plastic film gets worn. The number of passes is depending on different parameters such as intensity of UV rays, type of coating, amount of coating, etc.
Foil Saving - MFU
By guiding the foil web back into the printing nip (after transferring parts of the metallic layer for the first time) a foil web can be used up to three times during the same job and foil savings up to 85% can be reached. (Compared to full web and laminated board, depending on the job.)

Foil Saving - MFU
Standard 1 deck
Optional 2 decks
By guiding the foil web back into the printing nip (after transferring parts of the metallic layer for the first time) a foil web can be used up to two times during the same job and foil savings up to 50% can be reached. (Compared to full web and laminated board, depending on the job.)
Optionally you can choose a second MFU® deck. One foil web can then be used up to 3 at the same time, or two webs both twice, reducing the cold foil consumption up to 85% compared to full web productions or metalized board.
Foil Saving - VIFOP
VIFOP is an online software for calculating foil consumption. The consumption is quickly calculated by uploading a PDF file of a job. The results can be exported to your Vinfoil cold transfer module automatically, setting the Multiple Foil Use (MFU) decks and Foil Shaft Changer (FSC). With this pre-set data, your job can start within minutes!

The principle of the Vinfoil Optima SF165MF
Continuous foil drive while both cylinder gaps are facing each other by use of the special engineered Direct Foil Drive rollers (before and after press nip). This Vinfoil technology ensures perfect synchronization of circumference speed of the press with the cold foil web. Web tension is regulated by software which is feeding data to the following Vinfoil’s technologies (patent applied):
- Servo motion control systems with torque control
- DFD rollers
- FT locking shafts
