KBA begins Drupa installations

KBA has installed the first part of its 270 tonne Compacta 217 commercial web press at Drupa.

The equipment will be installed at hall 16 and a grand total of 13 trucks were needed to move the 70,000cph 16pp press into the Messe Dsseldorf venue.

As the press needs to be ready to print by the start of the show on 6 May, installation and commissioning needs to be completed in three weeks. To meet the deadline, KBA has assigned a 21-strong team of fitters and engineers who will be supported by staff from Muller Martini, Vits and other alliance partners.
