Reportedly, all three presses are equipped with Prinect Inpress Control color measuring system, which controls color and register on the fly. A Speedmaster XL 105 press has been operating at the Montelimar Le Teil plant, which specializes in pharmaceutical packaging, for four years. One of the two new machines has been operating, while the other is being installed in the summer.
The third new Speedmaster XL 105 will work alongside two existing Heidelberg presses at the LGR-CFL St Eusebe plant, which focuses mainly on packaging for the pharmaceuticals and healthcare industry.
Philippe Ratte, member of the management board responsible for technology at LGR, said: “It’s impressive how quickly we achieve OK sheets with Prinect Inpress Control, resulting in extremely short makeready times, less waste, and very high quality.
“This kind of highly industrialized and highly productive operation is particularly important for pharmaceutical packaging, with runs starting at just 2,000 sheets.”
