take a closer look at the KBA Rapida 75.It offers you ideal prerequisites for thehandling of a broad substrate range.

Why is that so? Double-size impressioncylinders and transfer drums are todayalmost a matter of course. It is in thecylinder geometry that you will discoverthe subtle differences. The sheets arepassed from the first to last unit withan absolute minimum of curvature. That

ensures even smoother sheet travel.Another ingenious detail is the fact thatsheets are fully printed before transfer.To minimise the stresses placed on sen-sitive substrates. And sheet travel moni -toring? That is standard.

You handle a lot of jobs which requireprinting on both sides of the sheet?Then you should definitely consider aKBA Rapida 75 with convertible perfec -ting unit. Three double-size cylindersensure that the sheet also stays in time

when turned. And the next benefit:There are no restrictions placed on yoursubstrate flexibility in perfecting mode.With fully automatic mode conversion,you are furthermore free to scheduleyour work as you please. The press isready to resume production within aminute. All at the press of a button!

A smart concept for maximum flexibility.Put it to the test!

special effects. And coatings acceleratethe print process when you need to printthe reverse of the sheet immediately.Come in and join us – in the world ofdecorative and cost-effective inlineproduct refinement.

Gloss and matt finishes, all-over andspot coatings, scented varnishes andother special applications – the possi -bilities are endless. The coating towerof the KBA Rapida 75 is the reliablebasis for your creativity. With chamberblade and anilox roller, just like itslarger-format counterparts.

Varying coating thicknesses and exactmetering? With exchangeable anilox

rollers you are prepared for practicallyevery eventuality. The constant bladepressure against the roller ensures aparticularly even coating. And alsocounteracts blade wear. Coating changes?Automatic washing systems are an in -valuable aid. You are back into produc -tion without delay, and even savegetting your hands dirty.

Coating without drying – unthinkable.To allow the coating sufficient time tospread and dry, the small Rapidas alsoboast an extended delivery, with hot-airand infrared dryers to guarantee thatluxurious final touch.
