CleanStar

CleanStar - 80 Percent Less Powder Dust Around the Press

Powder Extraction Made by Heidelberg
Heidelberg is the first press manufacturer to develop its own powder extraction system. CleanStar largely prevents "stray" powder from escaping from the delivery unit. This reduces the amount of dust in the press and surroundings by more than 80 percent.

Unimpaired Sheet Travel
CleanStar tackles the problem at the source. The delivery is enclosed, and powder-laden air is extracted from it and fed to a waste air cleaning cabinet, where a particle filter removes all of the powder.

The latest generation of presses makes it possible, for the first time, for CleanStar to clean waste air not only from the delivery but also from dryers. This prevents powder dust from contaminating the neighborhood - the print shop stays clean, inside and out.

Heidelberg designed CleanStar specifically for the air flows typical of Speedmaster presses. It does not interfere with sheet travel, paper stacking, or powder application.

The New CleanStar Compact
As of now, the CleanStar Compact is available for print shops which can extract the powder-laden air without filtration. It includes the same components as for the CleanStar, however without a waste air cleaning cabinet.

CleanStar Pays for Itself Fast
The resulting reduction of cleaning work in the pressroom, coupled with shorter downtimes, mean that a CleanStar powder extraction system installed in an eightcolor Speedmaster SM 102 will pay for itself in just six to eight months when used in double-shift operation. More than 40 percent of all Speedmaster SM 102 and CD 102 presses are already fitted with CleanStar before they leave the factory - and the figure is rising.

Benefits

• Reduces dust in the pressroom by more than 80 percent
• Less cleaning required in the pressroom
• Shorter press downtimes
• Perfectly coordinated with sheet travel and pile formation
• Dirt particles and dust that could otherwise be inhaled are extracted in a waste air filtration cabinet
• Self-cleaning particle filter
• Good accessibility of the sheet guide plate and powdering bar - just swing the suction conduit out of the way
