They benefit from a high level of automation and are extremely easy to operate thanks to the CAN connection to the Prinect Press Center. This shortens makeready and production times, ensures stable production conditions at all speeds, and delivers top print quality.
Faster, better, and more cost-effective – our Star peripheral devices enable you to enjoy all the benefits of an integrated solution across all Speedmaster format classes. What's more: they require far less dampening solution, washup solution, and powder and generate far less waste. This cuts costs while also making an important contribution to green printing.
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.
The 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 uniform, finely metered powder application. It ensures a reliable production with minimal powder consumption due to the unique nozzle technology with stabilizing air. The automatic adjustment to the sheet size, multi-step sheet width scale and automatic speed compensation characterize this powder spray system. It is completely integrated in the press control for easy operation from the Prinect Press Center and supported by the optional powder assistant for fully automatic presetting of the powder amount.
In addition to the PowderStar AP500 and PowderStar AP500 Duo, the PowderStar Pro for straight printing presses and the PowderStar Pro Duo for perfecting are equipped with a finer format width adaption to enable further powder saving.
The new PowderStar XL Duo is the peak performance system for highest production requirements. Compared to the PowderStar Pro it ensures up to 15 percent less powder consumption and up to 45 percent less machine and environmental soiling.
Supported by the optional Powder Assistant, it enables zonal powder application and reduces the powder consumption based on the ink coverage. In addition, the integrated Powder Shutter ensures that excess powder between two consecutive sheets does not get into the machine or the environment.
CoatingStar is a universal coating supply unit suitable for a wide range of coatings. Its power, combined with automatic rinsing programs, reduces makeready times by facilitating coating changes and cleaning of the coating system.
CombiStar CAN:
Combination of central dampening solution conditioning and inking unit temperature control, integrated in one cabinet:
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 Compact and StaticStar Advanced reduce the electrostatic charge of sheets and enable high production speeds to be achieved.
Our high-end drying systems for conventional ink, coating applications, UV and LED UV printing achieve outstanding drying results at top speeds with highest energy efficiency. Perfect coordination between sheet travel and dryer optimizes drying and quality, even with maximum machine speeds, high ink coverage or challenging coatings. Discover our unique product range:
Compressed air compressor - energy-efficient pneumatic compressor with oil- and condensate-free scroll module and refrigeration dryer:
The cold transfer 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.
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.
The Push to Stop CutStar reel 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.
InkStar is a fully automatic ink metering system for standard 2-kg ink cartridges with following advantages:
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.
