Druckhaus Delmenhorst added a Commander CL from Koenig & Bauer.
The floor-mounted Commander CL comprises three four-high towers, two KF 5 jaw folders and three Pastomat reel stands with a stripping station and Patras A paper-reel transport system.
It is scheduled to come on stream in the fourth quarter of 2020.
“Our existing Commander CT is already very well utilized, and so we needed to expand our production capacities ready for a series of new jobs which we will be printing from December 2020 onwards,” said Gerhard Tapken, owner of Druckhaus Delmenhorst.
Starting at the end of this year, the new press will be responsible for the production of the newspapers Weser-Kurier, Bremer Nachrichten and Verdener Nachrichten, among others.
Since its initial market launch just a few years ago, Koenig & Bauer has now sold 28 presses of this type to clients in Germany, France, China and the US, and it is currently the most frequently ordered newspaper press.
Established as DruckHaus Rieck in 1822, the company was bought out by Tapken in 2018 and renamed Druckhaus Delmenhorst.
Engineered for a maximum web width of 1,400 mm and a cylinder circumference of 1,000 mm, the new Commander CL can print up to 100,000 four-color newspapers per hour.
Like the existing Commander CT, it incorporates a whole host of automation features. RollerTronic roller locks, inking unit and cylinder washing, fan-out control, color measuring and control systems, color and cut-off register controls and fully automatic plate changes combine to simplify operation and reduce job makeready times, waste and maintenance requirements to a minimum.
