Ukrpolygraphmedia, based in Kiev (Ukraine) has invested in a new shaftless Goss Uniliner press comprising heatset and coldset towers for the production of magazines and newspapers.

With a cut-off of 600mm and a speed of up to 75,000 copies per hour, ot will be the first Goss double-width press to be installed in the country.

Gregory Shverk, print plant manager of Ukrpolygraphmedia, commented: "The Goss Uniliner press is the first of its kind in our market and we are very pleased to be pioneers in this respect.

As an existing user of the Goss Community press we have come to see the Goss brand as a symbol of quality both in terms of products and excellent customer service and support." The Uniliner press will be installed during this Autumn.

One four-high tower will have three form rollers and a heatset drying package and a 2:3:3 folder with quarterfold capabilities.

A four-high coldset tower with two form rollers will have a 2:3:3 folder with quarterfold and double parallel capability.

Gregory Shverk continued: "The 2:3:3 jaw folder is a very versatile piece of equipment, which suits a wide variety of product formats.

The addition of the quarterfold attachment will enable us to enhance our product offering with the ability to produce 3" x 6" school and paperback books." The press will be fully equipped with the Goss Digirail digital inking system, which is said to consistently provide the precise quantity of ink, allowing pre-setting systems to be fully utilised to deliver high quality, extremely low start-up waste and reduced operator intervention.

It will also be fitted with Goss OPCS level three press controls for advanced presetting.

Level three controls are said to allow for the pre-setting of many press parameters including ink keys, web tension, circumferential and lateral adjustments, in-feed gain (coldset) and tension (heatset), cut-off compensation, RTF gain, lap adjustment and folding cylinder diameter adjustment.

Shverk explained: "We hope that this level of control will significantly reduce the time it takes to complete jobs, maximising both our productivity and our profitability." Peter Selby, sales director at Goss International commented: "This is a landmark sale for Goss International in this region in the double-width market.

The Uniliner press is designed for high-speed, high quality printing and will certainly put Ukrpolygraphmedia in a good position for securing its future as a leading printer in the region.

The unique system that has been provided will enable the company to remain competitive and will play a key role in the publisher's future success.".
