Peripherals.

FoilStar

The cold foil module FoilStar supports a whole host of unusual surface finishing effects for labels, packaging, and highquality commercial work – giving you access to brilliant metallic effects that will add considerable value to your customers’ print products.

• For traditional UV and LED UV offset applications
• Flexible use of one to six transfer webs enables the needs to be optimally adapted to the particular print job
• Short makeready times through inline finishing using conventional offset printing plates
• Motif changes within a few minutes
• Printing of fine elements as well as solids in one pass

ScrollStar

Compressed air compressor - energy-efficient pneumatic compressor with oil- and condensate-free scroll module and refrigeration dryer:

• Compact design, minimal footprint
• Simplicity and reliability
• Energy-efficient
• Extremely low noise level

PowderStar

Our PowderStar units are optimally integrated into the respective Speedmaster and designed to achieve perfect pile formation and flatness in the delivery with as little powder as possible. With the PowderStar AP 262, Heidelberg offers a professional powdering unit that is linked to the press control system and features precise powder metering.

The PowderStar AP 500 for straight printing presses and the PowderStar AP 500 Duo for perfecting are the high-performance systems for powder application. Here is what characterizes them:

• Simple operation via Prinect Press Center with fully automatic presetting for repeat jobs (CAN connection)
• The Powder Assistant (optional) - for optimized, practice-oriented powder quantity setting according to the ink layer thickness in the print image and the substrate
• Up to 50 percent lower powder consumption
• Less soiling of the press and the surrounding area means less cleaning and improved productivity
• Easy operation from the Prinect Press Center
• Fully automatic presetting for repeat jobs

CleanStar

CleanStar effectively minimizes powder emissions from the delivery, reduces odor emissions when using dispersion and UV coatings, and efficiently removes waste heat generated by drying processes.

• The amount of dust in the pressroom is cut dramatically
• Ammonia emissions are reduced to a level well below the statutory limits
• Less cleaning is required on the press and in the pressroom
• Aerosols and dust particles are retained in an exhaust air purification cabinet and the purified exhaust air is led outside
• The self-cleaning system prevents the buildup of powder and reduces the risk of powder falling into the delivery
• Optimally coordinated with sheet travel and stacking
• Easy access to the sheet guide plate and powder tube

InkStar

InkStar is a fully automatic ink metering system for standard 2-kg ink cartridges with following advantages:

• Constant filling level and level monitoring
• Ink consumption indicator
• Shorter makeready time due to automatic filling
• Reduces ink consumption by 3-5 % due to less waste compared with ink cans
• Full integration into the press control system via CAN connection

AirStar

AirStar Pro - air supply cabinet with unique energy- and space-saving turbo radial blowers, combines virtually all individual blowers providing vacuum and blast air in a single, central air supply cabinet and is designed to deliver optimum energy efficiency.

• Automatic presetting of air volumes based on blower profiles for all standard grammages
• Manual corrections can be saved for repeat jobs

InsertStar

InsertStar is the tape inserter system integrated into the delivery. It combines a run counting function and a marking function for waste sheets in a single device – all controlled via the Prinect Press Center. These functions make InsertStar unique on the market.

• Counting and marking function in one device allow a great variety of utilizations
• Counting function with tape insertion according to defined counting intervals for shortening subsequent process steps
• Marking function as another element of the quality assurance. The operator can select the predefined events
• Marking of sheets with errors in the print image is possible in conjunction with Prinect Inspection Control
• Individually configurable position for easy processing

CutStar

The Push to Stop CutStar shortgrain sheeter offers impressive processing of thinner substrates thanks to higher printing speeds and steady sheet travel. It is installed directly in front of the feeder.

• Make ready time savings up to 50%
• Higher speeds of up to 30%
• High level of automation
• Ease of use
• Reduced maintenance
• Benefit from both - the cost advantages of roll-fed stock and the flexibility of sheetfed offset printing
• Ideal complement for processing thin label papers or foils (e.g. in-mold labels) at high production speed

Star peripherals for the dampening system

CombiStar CAN:

Combination of central dampening solution conditioning and inking unit temperature control, integrated in one cabinet:

• Precise alcohol metering with AlcoSmart
• Metering of dampening solution additive with Fluidos
• Fresh water connection
• Filter for dampening solution filtration
• Conductivity measurement in the dampening solution
• Integration into the press control system and Remote Service capability via CAN connection

FilterStar:
Fine filtration system for the dampening solution. Cabinet with 2-step filtration (prefilter and main filter) increases the changing intervals for dampening solution clearly. Filter soiling is indicated at the Prinect Press Center – the filter can be replaced during production (recommended for alcohol-free printing)

HydroStar CAN:
Dampening solution conditioning system for stable conditions in the dampening system.

StaticStar

StaticStar Compact and StaticStar Advanced reduce the electrostatic charge of sheets and enable high production speeds to be achieved.

• Reduces electrostatic charges and optimizes sheet separation
• Excellent reliability in production, even with difficult substrates
• Individually adjustable ion blowers at the feeder pile
• Reliable sheet travel, even at high production speeds
• Short makeready times thanks to straightforward operation via the CAN connection
• Special equipment available for foil printing (foil package)
