Fischer & Krecke launches Flexpress 6S

The FLEXPRESS 6S answers a market demand for FLEXPRESS
performance in a smaller press. Thanks to its modular design
and to optimized production processes we are able to offer the
6S at an attractive price and with short delivery times.
The new 6S 8C is available in web widths: 900 (35’’), 1100
(43’’), and 1300 mm (51’’). Repeat length ranges from 320/370
mm (13/15’’) to 800 mm (31’’) Features include signature
technologies typical of the FLEXPRESS series, including
pneumatic or hydraulic basic shafts, sleeves, intermediate sleeves, carbon fibre cylinders, servo drives, a
cantilever sleeve system and more. Super quick changeovers and production speeds of up to 400 mpm
(1,300 fpm) allow for superior throughput.
The FLEXPRESS 6S also employs new high efficiency Between Color Dryers that ensure even airflow over the
working width with minimum frictional loss and easy access for maintenance purposes. However, what really
distinguishes the FLEXPRESS 6S is its exceptionally compact, user-friendly design.

‘To achieve this high performance in a compact press, we committed to an overall redesign, including reengineering many details, all orchestrated to improve efficiency while delivering the outstanding print quality typical of our entire
FLEXPRESS series,’ the company claims.
Standard equipment includes automatic winders for rolls up to 1000 mm (39’’) in diameter, web video, edge guide
control, two-circuit drying system, AUTOCLEAN system (inking system with automatic wash-up capability), and a
catwalk for easy access to the bridge dryer and air-conditioned electric container. The range of extra equipment
includes important options such as web treatment, slitting device, or solvent concentration monitoring.
