Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) made its debut in format class 6 in June 2008 when packaging manufacturer Friedrich Freund GmbH (Freund) in Georgsmarienhütte took the world's first Speedmaster XL 145 into service just a short time after drupa 2008. Now, after around 18 months of production, Freund's initial assessment is positive. In direct comparison with the other format class 6 press in operation, the Speedmaster XL 145 achieves 30 percent shorter makeready times and a roughly 25 percent higher production speed. "With ever shorter runs and quicker job changes, the short makeready times and high production speed of the Speedmaster XL 145 are particularly welcome," underlines Managing Director Karl-Heinz Freund. "What's more, the print quality is of the consistently high level we have come to expect from Heidelberg," he adds.
The company, which primarily works for the food industry, is also impressed by the service concept Heidelberg offers for the press. "Right from the start of the project, we had dedicated contacts at Heidelberg who provided us with a highly efficient customer service both during and after commissioning. Our staff also received comprehensive training on the new press. Since the end of the field test, press availability has been in excess of 95 percent," continues Freund. The press currently operates in three shifts with an average net print output, including press- and job-related auxiliary times, of more than 10,000 sheets per hour.
