Dryer is a new geometry of intermediate rotary printing press dryer. The design features areas of both high and low pressure and comprises a novel system of nozzles and openings for the discharging of heated gas in ex- change for cooled gas. In judging, the dryer was noted for presenting a 15 percent performance increase over conventional dryer designs, improving the yield of the overall drying process and making efficient use of hot air. “The printing and packaging supply chain is under pressure to deliver heightened quality, speed and sustain- ability. To meet these evolving demands, we must be bold in our innovation and find new ways to boost efficiency — and that’s what our Innovation Award platform is all about,” said Christian Zeller, Head of Marketing BU Printing & Con- verting at Bobst. “We’re celebrating the talented minds of the Bobst team and the novel technology patents that make a real difference for our customers, which ultimately signpost the future of effective printing workflows.” Bobst is one of the world's leading suppliers of sub- strate processing, printing, and converting equipment and services for the label, flexible packaging, folding carton and corrgated board industries.

DUROMETER VS. COMPRESSION FORCE DEFLECTION (PSI)

How do you measure die ejection performance?

Our focus is on “PERFORMANCE”! Compression Force Deflection, measured in pounds per square inch (PSI), is an accurate way to measure material firmness at varying compressive levels — a true representation of performance as an ejector in an application. Durometer measures the hardness of a material’s surface. Since it only measures a small point of the surface with limited penetration, the test method is less accurate in determining ejector performance.
