Simple Conversion

Revolutionary Coating Unit: Unparalleled User-Friendliness

The innovative coating unit, reimagined for versatility and swift transitions between various print jobs, boasts a host of advancements.

Enhanced anilox roller change functionality in the redesigned unit simplifies setup procedures, ensuring safer and quicker adjustments. Additionally, central clamping of the coating plate facilitates faster changeovers, significantly expediting the process.

Integration into the machine control system via the Prinect Press Center XL 3 provides extensive remote adjustment capabilities, including register settings, provision for pressing, and outlet control options.

Extremely adaptable

Your printing needs dictate the process – the decision is yours to make.

Addressing the evolving demands of the printing market requires adaptability. The Speedmaster CX 104 offers flexible configuration options, enabling seamless transitions between conventional and instant drying UV colors. This capability is further bolstered by an additional washing cycle for the inking unit, blanket, and printing cylinder.

Auto Protect feature ensures roller protection during operation. If a printing unit remains idle post-changeover, it undergoes automatic full washing, with roller protection agent application.

Maintaining a clean environment and workspace is paramount. Typically, some overspray occurs in the inking unit. However, the newly integrated and robust ink mist extraction system in the Speedmaster CX 104 efficiently absorbs this, ensuring a cleaner working environment.
