    KBA-Sheetfed has recently delivered two long presses, each with 17 printing, coating and drying units.

    Since 2012, Amcor has successfully run what is by far the world’s longest medium format press, a Rapida 106 with 19 printing and finishing units, at its tobacco packaging manufacturing site in Rickenbach, Switzerland. KBA-Sheetfed has recently delivered two almost as long units of this highly automated medium-format series, each with 17 printing, coating and drying units, to Amcor Tobacco Packaging sites in Mexico and Poland.
     
    In September, two identical machines have been delivered to Amcor’s respective sites by 14 trucks. The installation of the first long Rapida 106 in the Amcor plant in Lodz, Poland, will commence in September.
     
    Rapida 106 is a complex machine that consists of a coating tower, two drying units, 10 printing units, double-coating equipment and triple delivery extension. Both machines are designed for a maximum production performance of 15,000 sheets per hour and are integrated in an automatic substrate logistics system.
     
    For a high level of finishing diversity, the printing and coating units are equipped for UV/mixed operation. IR/TL/UV systems are located in the drying towers and in the delivery extension. Both presses are prepared for the subsequent retrofitting of a ColdFoil Infigo SF 110 cold foil module.
     
    Customers want more flexibility and shorter runs. This is why more and more orders are moving from gravure to offset presses. Amcor Tobacco Packaging is now investing in particularly long presses as they allow for offset high-quality packaging printing with elaborate finishing to be produced in one run and therefore make the process faster and more efficient.
