KBA received two awards for its waterless Rapida 74 G press with keyless Gravuflow inking units on the company's stand at Drupa 2004 The press, for which KBA said it has already received three orders after only one day of Drupa on its world debut, was the focus of attention on the Marks-3zet stand in Hall 3 at the Frankfurt Messe

KBA was awarded an emission-tested certificate by the BGDP and the first Emission Reduced Waterless Offset certificate to be issued by the European Waterless Printing Association (EWPA) for the Rapida 74G.

The Rapida 74 G has now become the first waterless sheetfed offset press worldwide to attain this coveted certificate, said KBA.

All those people from KBA who were involved in the press's development and certification also received the EWPA's Innovation Award.

These latest accolades follow awards gained at Drupa 2000 when the Rapida 105 was the first sheetfed offset press worldwide to be awarded an emission tested environmental certificate.

The entire Rapida press range subsequently followed suit.

In order to achieve such an accreditation, all press emissions must remain below the lowest levels permitted by any state within the European Union (EU).

There are two key criteria to achieve such status.

Firstly, the press must support low-emission production and the manufacturer must enable the user to implement low-emission production in the pressroom. Request a free brochure from KBA ...
