The new MGE Pressmate units have been built to optimise the reliability, productivity and quality of today’s high-speed printing presses and maximise performance. Initially, the range is aimed at small to medium format offset and web presses and will be extended to large format over the next 12 months.

The Pressmate circulators are compact, water dampening units designed for use with offset and web presses providing refrigeration, circulation to and from the press and alcohol control. The Pressmate MX1 and MX2 fount additive dosing systems provide accurate and reliable single and multiple circulator dosing. They can both be mounted directly onto the circulator or the MX2 can be mounted on the wall.

The optional auxiliary tank provides a cost effective dosing solution for all Pressmate circulators. It is mounted on a detachable shelf on the back of the unit and provides a reservoir of up to 20 litres of pre-mixed fount solution. The extensive Pressmate range will consist of Dampening and Circulation Units, Roller Chillers and Combination units, Fount Dosing Units, Varnishing Units and Reverse Osmosis Units.

Also on display are new fully automatic perforating rewinder suitable for various types of film called the Epsilon VI. Key to the design is an alternative braking system said to improve production rates at different roll lengths. The Epsilon VI is suited for the production of both shorter and longer length rolls and supports a web width of between 250 and 600mm as standard and gives a production rate of 2-3 rolls-per-minute for 300m rolls.
