drupa 2012: Offsetting Digital’s Advance
Ferrostaal Equipment Solutions North America, the distributor for Ryobi presses that now oversees a network comprising 17 dealers with 40 salespeople and 60 service technicians, showcased an eight-color version of its eight-up Ryobi 920 series perfector running at 16,000 sph. Three intermediate drums provide consistent reversal of sheets and high-reliability sheet transfer. The drupa press was also equipped with an instant LED-UV curing system that reduces energy consumption by as much as 75 percent in comparison to conventional dryers, according to John Torrey, president.
