Speedmaster SM 52 - User Report: Rhy Druck AG
Rhy Druck AG, Diepoldsau (Switzerland): "One of our presses
- the Speedmaster
SM 52-5+D - is a piece of equipment on the highest technical level."
Rhy Druck AG in Diepoldsau (Switzerland) was founded in 1993 as a one-man shop. Even then Managing Director Jörg Spirig trusted Heidelberg and his first investment was a single-color GTO 46. Jörg Spirig has been working on the press himself since the beginning. In 2000, Markus Murschetz joined Rhy Druck and is now responsible for the prepress of the shop. Nicole Spirig and a trainee are also part of the team.
Quality, originality and speed are the factors that Rhy Druck wants to convince their customers with and not just the price. They have specialized in processing different stocks such as self-adhesive or synthetic materials, e.g. foils, rigid or soft PVC, to stand out from their competition. Jobs that seem to be too difficult for other print shops are exactly right at Rhy Druck AG.
In November 2005, Jörg Spirig replaced his Printmaster GTO 52-4 with perfecting with a Speedmaster SM 52-5 with an Inline Die Cutting unit and extraction device. This is the first press in Switzerland with the integrated die cutting unit - printing and finishing can now be done in one single pass. Cutting, kiss cutting, creasing or perforating are not a problem any more and the shop can now meet the increasing demand for finished products with their Speedmaster SM 52-5+D. In future, the Rhy Druck AG production team wants to focus on medium and long runs of self-adhesive material and foils with die cutting.

In the meantime, Jörg Spirig has become an expert of the
Inline Die Cutting unit, he is absolutely thrilled with this
technology. He agreed to show his Speedmaster SM 52-5+D to other
interested customers of Heidelberg Switzerland AG and so at the end
of March 2006 more than 40 guests joined the live event at Rhy
Druck AG.
Jörg Spirig himself worked on the press to show that it only takes a few minutes to set up a demanding die cutting job.
A four-color label job was printed, kiss cut and die cut inline. The die cutting waste was extracted and disposed off directly in the waste bin at full production speed.
