Single-pass technology

Novum’s single-pass technology provides higher productivity: pictures are printed in a single step, maximizing printing speed despite the limitations set by commercial printheads.

This state-of-the-art technology replaces the usual multi-pass variant, which entailed several printing stages and therefore a dramatic slowdown of production rates: Novum’s productivity is markedly higher when compared with available first-generation printers and adding Novum to existing manufacturing lines provides a low-cost implementation without affecting well-established production efficiency and performance.

Network Dialogue

With Novum, we envisaged a thorough interconnection with the web: Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things are borders we already crossed. Innovative concepts enable this cutting-edge digital printer to access both Internet and Intranet, sending and receiving data which may be crucial to face the many challenges a global market must needs pose.

Using Novum you will be able to move past the traditional idea of packaging supplies: you won’t just have a number of cans and containers at your disposal, you will also be in a position to sell production spaces, thereby allowing your clients to establish in real time the amount and kind of products and still leave them room should the need for modifications arise during the completion stage.
“Time to Market” is thus dramatically cut to an absolute minimum.

Being always online, Novum can keep looking for the most cost-effective spares you may need, on the basis of your printing schedule. The stock is constantly kept to the minimum level which has been set and ink shelf life is equally monitored.

Novum can be remote controlled by means of an app running on all sorts of portable devices : smartphones, tablets, laptops, smart watches. This simple, user-friendly solution makes it very easy for the user to control and manage the unit.

Novum also come with an advanced pre-emptive maintenance system intended to support the user’s technical personnel: the purpose is to minimize downtime and maximize production.

Flexible solutions

Novum features a modular design, designed to meet current requirements while assisting the user in winning a greater share of the growing market of inkjet-printed cans.
Further basic modules can be installed in time to create a single, well-integrated system with higher productivity.

Thus, Novum can be configured and modified to meet the user’s current requirements: the system is envisaged to be scaled up and evolve if higher production levels are needed, in order to meet the requirements which may arise from future market demand.

Novum  modules can be added and installed later on, when needed. Thus only a low initial investment will be necessary, but your company will still be able to forge on and reach the ever-changing goals you will set for yourself.
Another beneficial aspect of our modular approach is connected with the evolution of digital technology: Novum has an open architecture, so improvements developed by printhead manufacturers and ink producers can be easily incorporated in the system.

Minimized consumption

Novum takes advantage of its own ‘Green Technology’ to turn can decoration into a low-impact, decidedly sustainable process.
Inkjet printing system intrinsically feature a number of pros, such as:

– lower waste when loading a new lot,
– no emission of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and no heat wasted to dry the ink, which positively affects the environmental sustainability of the printing process

But in addition to that, Novum’s peculiar features make it superior to its first-generation counterparts.
Because of its small size, Novum offers the following benefits:

– a smaller footprint
– less material is used to manufacture the printer, also easing its disposal at the end of its useful life
– substantially lower energy consumption per print—since printing speed is higher
