KBA is Reducing Energy Input on High-Output Presses
DriveTronic SIS sidelay-free infeed
Unlike mechanical or pneumatic systems, KBA’s sidelay-free DriveTronic SIS infeed, which is now available as an option in every format class, requires no air suction and therefore also reduces the amount of energy consumed by the air-supply system.
Energy-saving roller-bearing technology
Smooth-running roller bearings with reduced backlash allow the impression cylinders and transfer drums to be rotated with very little effort using a hand crank. This bearing technology, which has been incorporated in KBA presses for many years now, is a major factor in cutting the Rapidas’ energy consumption. The venturi effect is exploited to reduce the volume of blown air applied at the sheet guides. Spoilers at the transfer drums are effective in preventing undercurrents.
