Dutch Printer Extends KBA Production Capacity
Dutch printing house Janssen Pers Rotatiedruk, a longstanding KBA customer based in Gennep, has ordered an extension to the single-width Continent web press it installed in 1999.
The new floor-mounted press is engineered for reels of 3.18 metres in width (125.2") and consists of a double reel stand, eight printing couples, an asymmetrical turner-bar superstructure to handle up to 12 ribbons and two variable folders positioned back-to-back, each with three deliveries.
This configuration supports production with 4 or 6 pages around the forme cylinder circumference and cut-off variability from 300mm to 530mm (11.81" to 20.87").
Up to 144 pages can be printed per impression at a web speed of 15.5 metres per second (3,051 feet per minute).
The asymmetrically designed press superstructure that will enable each ribbon to be fed into either folder will mean that if it is necessary to shut down one folder, the complete production can be fed through the other.
Furthermore, it is not necessary to exchange the forme cylinders for a new imposition layout, said KBA.
When utilising both folders with 6-around production, a total of six different products can be produced, each with 20 pages in A4 format.
With one production run it is possible to output a 120-page product consisting of 6 different sections added the company.
Such flexibility is particularly interesting in the USA where high-volume products are often supplemented with numerous inserts and reply cards.
The press has been prepared to be upgraded with two formers and four devices to add such cards. Request a free brochure from KBA ...
