Walter G. Anderson orders fourth KBA Rapida 145

The new Rapida 145 will also be equipped with KBA’s award-winning technology, including a fully-automatic plate changer, ErgoTronic ColorControl and CleanTronic Synchro, providing simultaneous cleaning of inking rollers, blankets and impression cylinders and a dedicated package for inking unit drives.

‘Our headquarters in Hamel is one of the most modern folding carton plants in North America with the most dedicated craftsmen in our industry,’ said Marc Anderson, president and CEO of Walter G. Anderson. ‘We continue to invest in the latest technology to bring our customers high quality, fast turnaround, and low cost on a wide variety of substrates. This new high-performance KBA Rapida 145 press is a key investment for us in which it will double our productivity and add efficiency, all geared toward providing a profound positive impact for our valued customers.

‘Ever since we first saw the new Rapida 145 large format press in action before it was officially announced, we’ve been thoroughly impressed with its performance and production. It was the breakthrough press we were seeking. Our current three Rapida 145 presses run round-the-clock and have become workhorses producing our folding carton work. KBA has the leading reputation in large format and our prior eight KBA presses have operated seamlessly.’
