Hammer Packaging Reports Successful Start-Up of New Speedmaster CX 102

KENNESAW, GA—July 19, 2011—Hammer Packaging became the first U.S. customer to install a Heidelberg Speedmaster CX 102 press earlier this year, and has nothing but praise for the performance of its latest addition since the new press commenced full production during the first week in April.

The Rochester, NY-based company, among the largest producers of high-end package decorating in North America, chose a UV-capable Speedmaster CX 102-8+L with CutStar roll sheeter, Prinect Press Center with Intellistart operator guidance system and integrated Wallscreen. An integrated IST UV system utilizes the new Electronic Lamp Control (ELC) that enables the system to operate at very low energy consumption and take up 50 percent less floor space.

“Heidelberg has delivered a machine that absolutely lives up to its advance billing,” said Lou Iovoli, vice president of strategic partnerships. “Because press technology has improved so greatly and so quickly, it’s critical that a new machine perform to expectations in short order. The Speedmaster CX 102 does what Heidelberg said it would do.”
