HEIDELBERG SPEEDMASTER SM 52-2 P – 1999

The Heidelberg Speedmaster SM 52-2 P (1999) is a proven B3 offset printing press known for its precision, durability, and consistent performance. Designed for commercial printing environments, this machine supports both straight printing (2/0) and perfecting (1/1), providing flexibility for a wide range of print jobs.

The press is equipped with Alcolor alcohol dampening to ensure stable ink-water balance and consistent color reproduction. Cooling is handled by the HydroStar Compact Baldwin Basic Liner refrigeration device, maintaining optimal operating conditions during production.

Automatic plate loading via AutoPlate significantly reduces makeready time, while register remote control allows fast and accurate register adjustments directly from the control console. The machine also features automatic wash-up devices for ink rollers, impression cylinders, and blanket cylinders, ensuring clean operation and reduced downtime.

A low pile delivery system makes this press suitable for space-efficient production environments. The separate air drying unit with lubrication system enhances sheet drying and protects mechanical components, contributing to long-term reliability.
