The Ultimate in Press Technology - Ipex

Quality web presses
The smart choice for commercials
KBA is a leading supplier of commercial
web offset presses. Alongside new products
our well-established Compacta presses
incorporate sophisticated technology and a
raft of options for 16 to 80 pages.
Compacta 215
Back in 1997 our 16pp Compacta 215 was
the first press in the world to feature
DriveTronic dedicated shaftless drives.
More than 150 installations are in daily
operation around the world.
Compacta 318
A shaftless press featuring minigaps on the
blanket cylinders, the Compacta 318 has a
maximum rated output of 70,000 24pp
A4 copies per hour and is engineered for
long print runs.
Compacta 408 and 418
Two 32pp web presses for short- and longgrain
products respectively offer a wide
choice of special features. A 40pp version of
the Compacta 418 is also available.
KBA is an engine of innovation in folder
and superstructure technology. DriveTronic
dedicated electronics and shaftless drives
are standard features on all Compacta
presses, while EasyTronic cuts makeready
times and reduces waste during press
start-up and run-down. LogoTronic networks
the press fleet with pre-press and
administrative departments within a JDF
workflow.
C16
16pp presses still represent a sizeable
section of the market and in 2009 we
developed a new, highly automated
model incorporating numerous unique
and innovative features. Called the C16,
it is available in two performance classes,
55,000 or 65,000cph. In a sector where
print runs are rapidly diminishing, the
C16’s fast makeready, low waste levels and
extensive automation address the need for
enhanced efficiency.
Compacta 217
The Compacta 217 launched at Drupa 2004
has a maximum rated output of 70,000
copies per hour and is the ideal tool for
medium- to long-run production.

C48 SG
In 2010 we launched the C48 SG, a 48pp
high-performance short-grain press
which, like the C16, incorporates an array
of innovative features. For example, the
RollerTronic automatic roller bearings
unique to KBA web presses help reduce
wear and tear on the inking rollers and thus
maintenance input.
Compacta 618 and 818
Our Compacta 618 and Compacta 818,
which are upgraded on an ongoing basis,
are available as 48pp, 64pp, 72pp or 80pp
models. They can be configured with a
standard pin folder or with our unique
variable-format V5 gripper folder.
