WKS, manroland Web Systems Unveil 160-page Press

WKS now produces at sites in Wassenberg and Essen with eight manroland web systems commercial web offset presses ranging from 32 to 80 pages. As part of the current investment, several older systems were decommissioned. The two-web 80-page LITHOMAN, with a total of web width of 4.5 meters, is the equivalent of a 160-page press. It produces up to 50,000 revolutions per hour. In addition to the fully-automatic AutomaticPlateLoading APL, the ClosedLoop systems developed by manroland to control inline fanout, color and cut-off registers have also been integrated. These features optimize machine operation and reduce waste.
