Metal decorating solutions for efficient production:

Metal Printing: State of the art offset printing technology

In terms of productivity, flexibility and cost-effectiveness, metal decorating presses from Koenig & Bauer MetalPrint lead the field.
The MetalStar 4, the high-performance model, is the fastest metal decorating press on the market and, as a unique selling point, offers numerous automation features that are not commonplace in metal decorating.
The Mailänder 283 scores with its reliable performance even with challenging sheet thicknesses and qualities and combines Mailänder technology, which has been tried and tested for decades, with the latest metal decorating features. The new MetJET ONE is our first digital printing press integrated into a production line and the easiest entry into digital metal decorating.

Metal Coating: Reliable coating with three-way rollers or anilox systems

The MetalCoat meets the highest requirements in terms of quality and productivity for the coating of metal sheets. With its proven 3-roller coating application or the anilox system, the MetalCoat is up to any challenge. Both challenging coatings and demanding substrate qualities are handled reliably and at high speeds.

Metal Drying: High efficient energy saving ovens for coating and printing lines

Saving energy is one of the most pressing challenges of our time. When it comes to saving energy and purifying exhaust air, Koenig & Bauer MetalPrint has still consistently pursued every available opportunity and developed numerous innovations. The HighEcon drying oven allows gas cost savings of up to 70 per cent compared to older systems.
We support our customers in saving energy and offer individual concepts. With integrated systems such as the HighEcon or EcoTNV drying ovens, the exhaust air is not only purified, but also used to generate heat for the drying process. The solvent in the exhaust air can be exploited to save energy. Gas consumption can be reduced to an absolute minimum and the energy demand of existing systems can be optimised through intelligent organisation of the production process. Per example the hot exhaust can be used to heat or cool the company offices, to produce hot water or for the energy-efficient cooling of production lines.
