Koenig & Bauer (KBA) pioneered the keyless inking technology for many decades. Waste-saving keyless inking units, which do away with cumbersome roller trains, were already used in anilox letterpress, flexo and anilox offset web presses in the 1980s and 1990s. In the field of waterless offset, they are today to be found in the sheetfed Genius 52 UV and in the compact newspaper press KBA Cortina.
The know-how which has been accumulated over many years of practical implementation is in future to benefit also the metal packaging branch. At MetPack 2017, KBA-MetalPrint GmbH is presenting the CS MetalCan, a new printing system specifically for mass beverage can production, which was engineered together with fellow subsidiary KBA-Digital & Web Solutions in Würzburg and is now to be marketed under the new label CanSolutions.
With its 10 keyless inking units for an indirect letterset process, automatic plate and blanket changers and many further innovations, the CS MetalCan is set to redefine the standards in beverage can decorating.
The CS MetalCan further expands the portfolio of printing solutions offered to the metal decorating branch by KBA-MetalPrint. In combination with the drying systems CS PinOven and CS BeltOven, KBA-MetalPrint now offers complete printing solutions for the 2-piece market segment, complementing its standing in the production of 3-piece cans.
