The new-generation CombiStar from Heidelberg is now available. It is now equipped with more energy-efficient pumps and electronically controlled compressors that cut energy costs by up to 50 percent.
Units such as the CombiStar are the third-highest consumer of electricity in a press after the main motor and the air supply system. In the case of presses with dryers, they occupy fourth place. In the new CombiStar, the inking unit pump for temperature control circulation is fitted with an electronically controlled drive and the refrigerating units now have an energy-efficient digital scroll compressor. Stepless adjustment of the refrigerating units to the cooling capacity required by the machine significantly boosts the system's efficiency.
The CombiStar Pro combines dampening solution conditioning with inking unit temperature control. It also incorporates free-cooling technology for further energy savings.
