All of its presses using water-based, food-safe, sustainable inks that meet current and anticipate future regulatory and environmental standardsThe discussions at SuperCorrExpo will include Koenig & Bauer Durst’s new entry-level Delta SPC 130 Core industrial production single-pass press aimed at converters looking to transform to digital production or upgrade from their current digital system, including the possibility for in-field upgrades to increase throughput and/or application range. It will deliver the series’ most impressive price performance ratio for converters with media sizes up to 51 inches (1.30meters) by 83 inches (2.1m) for corrugated box plants. It will be suitable for converters with annual production volumes of between 32 and 54 million sq ft (3 and 5 million sq meters) annually by printing 197sq ft/min (60m/min) on coated and 295 sq ft / min (90m/min) on uncoated boards.Based on Koenig & Bauer Durst’s established, market-proven Delta SPC 130 FlexLine Automatic press, the Delta SPC 130 Core will have a number of features including a compact Eco+ energy-efficient Dryer. It has its own semi-automatic Feeder and a Core Single Sheet Down Stacker.An example of the hybrid press approach possibilities from Koenig & Bauer includes how its RotaJET can be equipped with flexo sleeve units pre-inkjet, post inkjet and OPV to the exact customer requirements. Koenig & Bauer’s Controlled Open Ink Policy where customers can directly agree on ink and primer pricing and delivery with certified ink partners.
Another hybrid solution will involve the Durst P5 Super Multi-Pass Printer, which sets a new benchmark for high-volume digital printing. As an LED hybrid solution, the P5 SMP can process both roll and sheet materials. The P5 250 WT will be spotlighted as an example of Durst’s new generation of printers incorporating its own Water Technology. The system, which prints from flexo quality up to super litho quality with odorless ink, is highly suitable for a range of corrugated packaging and display applications.
Daniel Velema, Koenig & Bauer Durst’s Managing Director, said: “The North American corrugated industry is a key player to bring attractive, safe and sustainable packaging to over half a billion people. To this end, we and our partners help corrugated printers and converters as trusted advisers and business partners with the widest range of products and services. We firmly believe that digital printing can and will play an ever-increasing role, complementing and optimizing printers’ and converters’ existing printing infrastructure.
“An open exchange of thoughts and best practice are essential to the industry to make it more profitable and sustainable, which an event such as SuperCorr provides. See you at our must-visit stand (1046) where we will be showcasing the latest product developments, supporting the industry’s technical developments, as well as connecting with our new and existing customers. I look forward to catching!”
