This new ‘closed loop’ fountain solution circulation and cooling unit will incorporate a new circulator and filter concept, along with several other important benefits.
Features of the easily integrated system will include constant fount solution pressure, lower energy usage and greater cost efficiency plus reduced maintenance.
Baldwin’s new Maxima unit is the first spray dampening system that has been designed for both heatset commercial and high performance newspaper printing applications.
Maxima incorporates Baldwin’s maintenance-friendly Constant C air curtain technology and a range of control and valve speed options. The system offers proprietary control algorithms, which makes it an ideal partner technology for faster pre-setting of ink and water.
“The difference between newspaper and commercial quality standards are becoming smaller and with more newspaper production sites being multi-title, 24/7 operations, the technical and reliability expectations have increased dramatically,” says Peter Hultberg, managing director of Baldwin Jimek (Centre of Competency for Newspaper Products).
“The technology behind Maxima enables this generation of systems to meet the dampening requirements of all customers. In addition, it can do this with the lowest waste and labour possible and without compromising on print quality, which makes Maxima a life-of-press dampening technology.”
