FSA 870 Compact – The Classic

The FSA 870 Compact is used in the print finishing of folded boxes, for example in the Food area (chocolate, confectionery) or the Non-food area (cosmetics), as well as in the print finishing of printed matter (labels, book covers, greeting cards or magazines). The FSA 870 Compact is also the machine of choice for many companies in the Security industry. These Gietz machines have proved their worth over decades for the application of OVDs (Optical Variable Devices) on to banknotes, official documents and in the field of trademark protection.

The 10 Advantages

1. Reliable, fast, precise
The FSA 870 Compact is renowned for its registration accuracy, the excellent quality of the foil stamping and high production speed.

2. Short change-over times
Easy access to the foils and stamping dies, which can be quickly replaced and positioned.

3. Optimal sheet format
All standard printing machines in the B2 52 x 72 cm format class are covered with the optimal 870 x 560 mm sheet format, or 870 x 600 mm in the optional ESS version.

4. Longitudinal and transverse foil feed
The foil can be fed through the machine in line with the sheet running direction, and/or transverse to it.

5. Foil unwinding
Diameter-controlled or externally regulated foil unwinds with pneumatic brake for 1″ and 3″ cores guarantee a precise and smooth foil feed.

6. Dwell time
As standard, the FSA 870 Compact offers a dwell time that is 25% longer than that of our competitors. This results in lower foil stamping temperatures and less pressure is required. The dwell time can additionally be extended up to a maximum of 2.5 seconds: e.g. for deep, large surface area foiling and embossing.
