A fourth Delta SPC 130 press from Koenig & Bauer Durst for Schumacher Packaging

Radebeul, Germany 04.02.2025

Koenig & Bauer Durst has announced that Schumacher Packaging Birmingham has started full commercial digital production with its Delta SPC 130 single pass high volume digital press for corrugated markets.

The FlexLine Eco+ with six colours is the first installation in the UK and will be a central focal point as Schumacher Packaging expands its presence in UK markets as one of the UK’s leading plain and printed cardboard manufacturers.

Koenig & Bauer Durst’s Delta SPC 130 – part of its portfolio providing the most automated, productive, single pass water-based presses suitable for food packaging – will be a key presentation focus for Schumacher Packaging Birmingham with its presence at Packaging Innovations (Stand K76) at the nearby NEC on February 13-14. Jochen Sproll, Koenig & Bauer Durst’s Strategy & Business Development Manager, will also be on the stand.

Schumacher Packaging Birmingham, together with Koenig & Bauer Durst, will also be hosting an official Open Day at its plant on March 13 from 09.00 to 14.00.

The Koenig & Bauer Durst Delta SPC 130 in Birmingham is the fourth taken on by Schumacher Packaging. Two others are at its headquarters in Ebersdorf, Germany, and the another is at Saica in Wroclav, Poland, formerly Schumacher Packaging. They also have six-color capabilities. The installation is at the heart of a €30 million euro investment that also involves upgrading its Birmingham manufacturing base and two nearby warehouses.

Koenig & Bauer Durst’s FlexLine Eco+ press features an eco-plus drier that reduces drying times to cut energy consumption and associated costs, as well as speeding up productivity for maximised capacity. The Delta SPC 130 can print on uncoated materials with speeds of up to 80 meters per minute.

Darren Melville, Managing Director of Schumacher Packaging Birmingham, said: “As an innovator and pioneer in the industry, we want to show new ways of working towards sustainable production. And moving to sustainable, cost-saving digital production is a centrepiece of our strategy, which is why we are delighted to have launched full-scale commercial digital production with the Delta SPC 130 from Koenig & Bauer Durst. This is a true partnership.

“As consumers become more environmentally conscious, brands are under increasing pressure to adopt eco-friendly packaging solutions. Many are working towards ambitious 2025 extended producer responsibility (EPR) for packaging targets. This is where the best of corrugated board and digital print can converge to deliver recyclable packaging with zero-waste designs.”

Daniel Velema, Managing Director of Koenig & Bauer Durst, said: “With the increasing emphasis on sustainability, companies such as Schumacher Packaging recognize the huge benefits that digital brings with highly automated systems in corrugated packaging and board markets. They and their customers can see the benefits of changing from offset and flexo, particularly as run lengths are getting smaller and order lead times become ever shorter.

“Digital printing, in essence only printing what you want, when you need it, has always been a technology with strong sustainability credentials and an opportunity to reduce paper consumption. The ability now to add paper weight reductions to further lower cost and consumption is also a very powerful argument for digital transformation.”

Ο Όμιλος Durst, κορυφαίος κατασκευαστής τεχνολογιών ψηφιακής εκτύπωσης και παραγωγής, ανακοινώνει με υπερηφάνεια το P5 X, τη νεότερη προσθήκη στην οικογένεια P5.
Ο Christoph Gamper, Διευθύνων Σύμβουλος και συνιδιοκτήτης του ομίλου Durst, σχολίασε: «Ο P5 X αποτελεί απόδειξη της δέσμευσής μας για συνεχή ανάπτυξη στον τομέα της εκτύπωσης μεγάλου μεγέθους (LFP). Συνεχίζουμε να διευρύνουμε τα όρια με νέες τεχνολογίες, επεκτείνοντας τις δυνατότητές μας για να καλύψουμε τις εξελισσόμενες ανάγκες των πελατών μας. Ο P5 X, περήφανα «Made in Durst», αντικατοπτρίζει την αφοσίωσή μας στην καινοτομία, την ποιότητα και την αξιοπιστία, προβάλλοντας ό,τι καλύτερο αντιπροσωπεύει η Durst».

 Σχεδιασμένος για εφαρμογές υψηλών προδιαγραφών σε αγορές όπως της Visual Communication, Signage POP/POS, Industrial, Packaging, Large-scale Decoration  και Specialty packaging,  ο P5 X είναι κατασκευασμένος για να πληροί τα υψηλότερα πρότυπα ενώ είναι επίσης οικονομικά προσιτός σε όσους θέλουν να εισέλθουν στο «Champions League» της ψηφιακής εκτύπωσης.
Δοκιμασμένος σε πελάτη της Durst, την εταιρία Archimede κοντά στην Πάντοβα της Ιταλίας – έναν κορυφαίο πάροχο λύσεων οπτικής επικοινωνίας και προβολής για κορυφαίους πελάτες λιανικής και πολυτελείς μάρκες – στον οποίο είχε εγκατασταθεί για filed test για κάποιους μήνες, ο P5 X απέδειξε την ευελιξία και την ποιότητά του.

Ο Andrea Riccardi, Head of Product Management του Ομίλου Durst, τόνισε: «Ο P5 X αντιπροσωπεύει τον τέλειο συνδυασμό προηγμένων χαρακτηριστικών και οικονομικής προσβασιμότητας, ανοίγοντας  νέες ευκαιρίες για όσους επιδιώκουν την τελειότητα στην ψηφιακή εκτύπωση».

H πλατφόρμα P5 ενσωματώνει συστήματα υψηλής τεχνολογίας, υβριδικές (Hybrid) λύσεις και ολοκληρωμένες λύσεις λογισμικού, υπηρεσιών και μελανιών. Με τον P5 X, η Durst παρουσιάζει έναν εκτυπωτή επίπεδης επιφάνειας (True Flatbed) με προαιρετικές επιλογές εκτύπωσης σε ρολό (Roll 2 Roll) , που μοιράζεται τα πλεονεκτήματα ολόκληρης της πλατφόρμας της  P5.

Ο P5 X ξεχωρίζει με την υψηλή ακρίβεια, την ποιότητα, την ευελιξία, τη χρηστικότητα και τα προηγμένα χαρακτηριστικά του:

  • Ακρίβεια και πιστότητα
    Οι μαγνητικοί γραμμικοί κινητήρες (Magnetic linear motors) στους άξονες X και Y εξασφαλίζουν ακριβή και αξιόπιστη κίνηση σε ολόκληρη την επιφάνεια εργασίας. Αυτό το προηγμένο σύστημα επιτρέπει ταχύτερη και απλούστερη τοποθέτηση υλικών χωρίς συμβιβασμό στην ακρίβεια, ακόμη και σε υψηλές ταχύτητες.
    Το μέγιστο πλάτος εκτύπωσης για τα φύλλα εκτύπωσης είναι 3,25×2,15 μέτρα. Mπορεί να εκτυπωθεί ένα ρολό με μέγιστο πλάτος 3,5 μέτρα ή δύο ρολά πλάτους 1,6 μέτρα μπορούν να εκτυπωθούν το ένα δίπλα στο άλλο.
  • Τραπέζι εκτύπωσης με Πανίσχυρο Vacuum
    Ο P5 X είναι εξοπλισμένο με τραπέζι Vacuum, που διαθέτει 12 επιλέξιμες ζώνες. Οι τέσσερις μεγαλύτερες ζώνες μπορούν εύκολα να ρυθμιστούν χρησιμοποιώντας μεμονωμένους διακόπτες για να προσαρμόζονται στο πλάτος του υλικού εκτύπωσης, βελτιστοποιώντας την ισχύ αναρρόφησης ανάλογα με τις εφαρμογές εκτύπωσης. Επιπλέον, o εξοπλισμός διαθέτει λειτουργία αντίστροφου vacuum (Reverse Vacuum) για γρήγορη και αποτελεσματική αφαίρεση του φύλλου – ακόμη και φύλλου με μεγάλο βάρος – από το τραπέζι μετά την εκτύπωση.
  • Ευέλικτη διαμόρφωση χρωμάτων
    Ο P5 X προσφέρει 10 κανάλια χρώματος που μπορούν να ρυθμιστούν ώστε να ανταποκρίνονται σε συγκεκριμένες απαιτήσεις. Τα κανάλια περιλαμβάνουν μελάνια από τη σειρά P5, που συνδυάζουν CMYK, White, Fluo, Orange, Violet, Light-Cyan, Light-Magenta, Light-Black, Varnish και Primer (αστάρι), παρέχοντας την απόλυτη προσαρμογή για μια ποικιλία εργασιών, εφαρμογών και υλικών εκτύπωσης.
  • Βελτιστοποιημένη χρηστικότητα και ευελιξία εκτύπωσης με:
           o Twin Printing Mode – Λειτουργία παράλληλης εκτύπωσης: Συνεχής ταυτόχρονη εκτύπωση σε δύο σημεία του τραπεζιού για αυξημένη παραγωγικότητα και αποδοτικότητα χωρίς χρόνους αναμονής.
          o Reverse Printing – Αντίστροφη εκτύπωση: Επιτρέπει την εκτύπωση με ένα πέρασμα λευκού μελανιού σαν πρώτου και σαν τελευταίου (one pass white under and over) χρησιμοποιώντας μία μόνο κεφαλή εκτύπωσης .
         o Multitrack: Υποστηρίζει ταυτόχρονη εκτύπωση σε έως και 12 κανάλια (6 ανά πλευρά) με διαφορετικά αρχεία ή μεγέθη φύλλων υλικού.
  • LED multifunctional status bar
    Το Status Bar παρέχει βασικές πληροφορίες σχετικά με το σύστημα εκτύπωσης. Δείχνει την ετοιμότητα του συστήματος, τον υπολειπόμενο χρόνο εκτύπωσης, την κατάσταση των μελανιών και άλλες πληροφορίες, αλλάζοντας το φωτισμό led ανάλογα με την προβαλλόμενη ένδειξη και επιτρέποντας στους χειριστές αποτελεσματική παρακολούθηση και γρήγορες αντιδράσεις σε οποιαδήποτε κατάσταση.

Ο P5 X κατασκευάστηκε σαν user-friendly εξοπλισμός. Ο εργονομικός σχεδιασμός του εκτυπωτή  με μικρή απόσταση από την άκρη του τραπεζιού, επιτρέπει να φορτώνονται και να ξεφορτώνονται τα φύλλα υλικού άνετα σε όρθια θέση. Τα χαρακτηριστικά ασφάλειας περιλαμβάνουν μια φωτεινή κουρτίνα (light curtain) πάνω στο φορέα των κεφαλών εκτύπωσης που επιβραδύνει την εκτύπωση σε περίπτωση που κάποιος πλησιάσει πολύ κοντά στον εκτυπωτή, εξασφαλίζοντας μέγιστη ασφάλεια και αποφυγή ατυχημάτων.

Ο P5 X περιλαμβάνει επίσης φιλικές προς το χρήστη ενδείξεις LED που δείχνουν τη σωστή τοποθέτηση των φύλλων υλικού και προσδιορίζουν ποιες σειρές vacuum πρέπει να ενεργοποιηθούν. Οι μαγνητικές ακίδες (magnetic pins) τοποθετούνται εύκολα, απλοποιώντας όλη τη διαδικασία ρυθμίσεων πριν την εκτύπωση.

Field tested by Archimede near Padua in Italy – a leading provider of visual communication & display solutions for top-tier retail clients and luxury brands – the P5 X proved its versatility and quality.
Andrea Riccardi, Head of Product Management at Durst Group, highlighted: “The P5 X represents the perfect blend of advanced features and accessibility, opening new opportunities for those striving for excellence in digital printing.”


The P5 platform integrates high-end systems, hybrid solutions, and comprehensive software, service, and ink solutions. With the P5 X, Durst introduces a true flatbed printer with roll options, sharing the benefits of the entire P5 platform.

The P5 X excels with its high precision, quality, versatility, usability and advanced features:

Precision and Accuracy,
Magnetic linear motors on the X and Y axes ensure precise, reliable movement across the entire workspace. This advanced system allows for faster and simpler positioning without compromising on accuracy, even at high speeds.

 

Powerful Vacuum Table
The P5 X is equipped with a vacuum table featuring 12 selectable zones. The four larger zones can be easily adjusted using individual sliders to adapt to the width of the print material, optimizing suction power. Additionally, the vacuum can be reversed for quick and efficient material removal.


Versatile Color Configuration

The P5 X offers 10 color channels that can be configured to meet specific requirements. Channels include inks from the P5 series, combining CMYK, White, Fluo, Orange, Violet, Light-Cyan, Light-Magenta, Light-Black, Varnish, and Primer, providing ultimate customization for a variety of projects, applications and media types.

      o Reverse Printing: Enables one-pass white over and under printing using a single printhead.
      o Multitrack: Supports simultaneous printing on up to 12 channels (6 per side) with different images or board sizes.

  • LED multifunctional status bar

    The status bar provides operators with key information about the print system at a glance. It shows system readiness, remaining print time, ink status, and more, allowing for efficient monitoring and swift reactions to any situation.

The P5 X is built with operator convenience in mind. Its ergonomic design minimizes outer edges, allowing boards to be loaded and unloaded comfortably in an upright position. Safety features include a light curtain on the print carriage that slows down the printing in case of interruption, ensuring maximum safety. The P5 X also includes user-friendly LED indicators that show the correct positioning for boards and identify which vacuum rows should be activated.

Durst Group Celebrates 1,000th Customer for Durst Workflow Software

 

 

Brixen, Italy – August 22, 2024 – Durst Group, a leading manufacturer of advanced digital printing and production technologies, proudly announces that Forge Graphic Works has become the 1,000th customer to install Durst Workflow software. This milestone, celebrated in May 2024, marks a significant achievement for Durst Group, highlighting its rapid growth and dedication to providing cutting-edge solutions to the printing industry. Forge Graphics, renowned for its innovative and high-quality graphic solutions, joins a distinguished list of customers benefiting from Durst Workflow’s advanced capabilities.

Based in Portland, Oregon, Forge Graphic Works is a team of design and print experts specializing in large format printing and graphic manufacturing, installation, and fulfillment services for retail, events, interiors, and experiential marketing programs. The company operates as a hybrid of design agency, printer, and fabrication shop, focusing on quality and long-term relationships by designing with efficiency in mind from the start.

Previously utilizing a third party RIP, Forge Graphic Works found the process labor-intensive with limited automation, often leading to errors.
Todd Ebersole, Strategy Director of Forge Graphics explains. “We wanted a more advanced workflow solution with integration in other parts of our business like scheduling, pricing, and automation of common tasks that save us time and prevent re-work.”

At the Printing United trade show, they discovered Durst Workflow and Durst Lift ERP. Impressed by a vendor partner’s success with these solutions, Forge Graphic Works was particularly drawn to the vertical integration with Lift ERP and key modules within Durst Workflow, such as Verification, Impose Editor, and PDF Proof Approval.
Configurable as all-in-one solution integrated with Lift ERP, Durst Workflow resulted particularly attractive, providing a single point of contact for implementation, training, and troubleshooting.

Forge Graphic Works operates several printing system from different vendors, all of which will be driven by Durst Workflow. The new software system, combining Durst Workflow and Durst Lift ERP, will allow them to efficiently and visually plan jobs and production schedules, make quick adjustments to maximize throughput and minimize downtime, and provide detailed analysis of the impact of rush jobs or shifts in customer deadlines. Additionally, real-time feedback on job costing on a per-project level will reduce purchasing labor, ensuring materials and special-order items are sourced quickly and efficiently.

Michael Deflorian, Business Unit Manager, Software & Solutions at Durst Group, adds, “We are thrilled to welcome Forge Graphic Works as our 1,000th Durst Workflow customer. This milestone underscores the significant impact our solutions have on the industry. We are committed to delivering integrated, user-friendly solutions that drive efficiency and profitability for our customers, and we look forward to supporting Forge Graphic Works in their continued growth and innovation.”
