The Most Successful 4/2 Web Press in its Class
The Commander CL has been the most successful 4/2 four-high tower press in the mid and top performance classes since its market launch in autumn 2011. Depending on the cut-off, the press can run up to 110,000 c/h (55,000 r/h), making it one of the fastest newspaper presses in the market. The Commander CL (= Classic) features user-friendly H-type printing units and its intelligent modular construction allows the press to be customised to meet the individual needs. Alongside standard manual plate changing this press is available with optional automatic or semi-automatic plate changing for faster makeready, and can also easily be upgraded at a later date. This equates in investment security and the flexibility necessary to meet changing production demands. Other benefits include short set-up and washing cycles, easy maintenance, an optimised operating concept with clear displays, and minimal production costs. What is more, the Commander CL is engineered for variable web widths and can be extended with hot-air dryers. Further options include fast presetting via PressNet and single-button start-up and run-down via EasyStart and EasyClean-up.
