Hamada Series Landscape-Format Specifications & Features


Hamada B252A, Hamada B452A, Hamada B452A-I and Hamada 552HIRC Landscape-Format Offset Presses

Only Available in Iowa & Nebraska

The two-tower Hamada B252A, the four-tower Hamada B452AI, and the five-tower Hamada 552AI print sheets up to 20-15/32" x 14-3/8" (520 x 365 mm). These fully featured, landscape-format Titan presses are simple, yet powerful, to deliver superior performance for the short or long multi-color print run.

The advanced 16-roller inking system (including 3 form rollers) was computer designed to achieve optimum print quality on every solid, screen and halftone. A 5-roller continuous dampener applies a stable, thin water film to the plate. The system includes a chiller / re-circulator and can be run either integrated or segregated to suit stock and image.

Operator-friendly controls include push-button operation and automatic sequencing. Semi-automatic blanket cleaning both washes and dries to save time. A delivery non-marking cylinder makes running heavily inked jobs much easier.

Double-diameter shaft-less impression cylinders, triple-diameter transfer cylinders, helical-cut drive gears and tapered bearings add to precision performance and smooth, reliable printing. Pneumatic control mechanisms decrease the number of moving parts to extend press life and reduce maintenance costs.

Stream feeding promotes accurate registration and allows a wider variety of stocks to be run. This compact system features pre-piling which allows an operator to load paper while the press is running. The register board is easy to adjust and has both mechanical and electronic double sheet detectors. Running register for horizontal and vertical image adjustments maximize productivity.

A swing gripper in-feed plus operator and non-operator side pull guides ensure excellent register even at high speeds. Micro-adjustment of the sheet skew is done easily by turning a knob. Easy Plate Setting (EPS) allows quick, accurate mounting of metal or polyester plates with no tools. An operator can hang a plate in about 50 seconds, greatly reducing make-ready time.

Ink Control SystemModels B452AI and B552AI include an Ink Control System that allows the 35mm segmented ink fountain keys and ink fountain sweep to be controlled from a computer console. This system makes adjustments easy and delivers consistent ink balance and color tones throughout the run. Optimum ink settings for any job can be stored for recall and fast set-up when re-printing at a later date. On the Hamada B552AI, sheet registration is also controlled from the console.
