PMS Offsetdruck starts up a new Rapida 106

A new Rapida 106 has been in operation at PMS Offsetdruck in Wendelstein near Nürnberg since the beginning of March. The five-colour coater press adds a significant boost to production capabilities compared to its predecessor. This is furthermore the company’s first sheetfed offset press from Koenig & Bauer.

Apart from the usual criteria such as production speed, job changeovers and quality, the specialists at PMS based their purchase decision on the ability of the new press to die-cut complicated formes inline. This requires fast conversion of the coater between die-cutting and coating set-ups. After all, 40 per cent of the company’s jobs involve die-cutting, while 60 per cent are coated. At the same time, the Rapida 106 made the best impression in terms of innovative automation technology, for example the DriveTronic SIS sidelay-free infeed.
