By: E&P Staff Woodbridge, Ill.-based Tensor Group Inc. said Thursday it has sold a 48-unit, 2 folder single-wide press to NR1 Adressa-Trykk Orkanger in Norway.
NR1 Adressa-Trykk is the newly formed joint venture between two big names in the Norwegian newspaper and commercial printing industries, Adressa-Trykk AS (Adresseavisen) and NR1 Trykk (A-Pressen).
The 12-tower Tensor T-400 press will be installed at a new facility in Orkanger that will produce more than 20 newspaper titles with circulations between 3,000 and 20,000, plus a great number of coldset commercial products for distribution throughout mid-Norway.
The shaftless press is anchored by two Tensor H-50 HD folders, each of which is capable of handling 12 webs with the help of independently driven RTF's. Shaftless commercial quarter folders accompany each folder.
The primary folder is equipped with an upper former for sectioned tabloid newspaper production. Each of the three steep angle formers on the press has motorized tabloid slitters and shaftless stitchers for both newspaper and commercial products. A gluing system is to be installed on the main folder.
The configuration allows for printing 96 tabloid pages of four color at 35,000 iph and 64 pages at 40,000 iph.
The units have spray dampeners, motorized ink fountain rollers, and an EPG remote inking with pre-setting.
The press includes a PDM TwinTurbo web cleaning system and a vacuum dust collection system.
Oddvar Ustad, managing director of NR1 Adressa-Trykk, said the venture chose Tensor because it has used their presses at two other sites.
"The press we're producing now for NR1 Adressa-Trykk Orkanger is probably one of the most highly automated and user friendly presses Tensor has sold," Tensor President Don Gustafson said. "We expect the benefits from the advanced technologies utilized here will result in amazing cost- and quality-efficiencies for the customer."
