Our products.

Rotogravure presses for packaging and specialties printing.

An advanced platform of solutions for the whole printers’ community.

Thanks to its special design, a service trolley allows for the change-over of:

• The printing cylinder only (no bearings and bearinghousings are needed)

• The inking system only (including ink tank)• Both printing and inking system at the same time

(ink tank on board of the trolley)• Inking system featuring driven inking roller• Optional: complete wash up of printing cylinder and

inking system (ink tank off the trolley).

R983Trolley type gravure press: the Cerutti answer for the carton board printing world.

Quick job change-over thanks to its specilized gravure trolley.The gravure trolley carries• The printing cylinder with bearings and bearing housings• The complete inking system including ink pan(s), ink splash

guards, ink tank with pump

The trolley replacement is carried out by one operator only thanks to a servo mechanism, pneumatically operated.

Available versions:• Reel to reel(with creasing and punching subunits for liquid packing)• Reel to sheeter• Reel to die cutter (rotary - flat bed)

R98X

A trolley type gravure press, where flexibility of job change-over counts.

R972The hi-tech fully automatic flexible gravure press: an innovative press for very short to medium production runs.

The printing stations are equipped with on-board wash-up system and feature completely automatic job change-over operations. This press model achieves considerable savings in its relevant running costs, with the advantage of reducing the amount of its non-productive down-time, thanks to:

• Simplified and faster job change-over operations• Reduction of start-up / running waste• Reduction of the ink return at the end of each production job• Lower running costs• Less personnel required (both on the press and off the press).

Printing unit model ES972

Each unit is equipped with one two-position trolley, enabling automatic removal and replacement by a single operation of old printing cylinder and/or inking system, with parts ready for new production and namely:

• Removal and replacement of the printing cylinder only• Removal and replacement of the inking system only• Simultaneous removal and replacement of inking system and

printing cylinder.

• Available also in the air chuck version.

R1060Top performance rotogravure press for packaging material and specialty printing: a brand-new flexible job change-over solution for the high-end market.

Cerutti presents its high-end gravure line for the printing of packaging materials:the R1060 model, designed mainly for customers requiring high performances coupled with quick job change-over, flexibility and very high printing quality.The innovation consists of a brand-new concept of trolley-carrying of the inking system and printing cylinder, that is displaced in the cross direction of the press axis.

Trolley type printing press

The printing cylinder is supported during change-over time by the trolley frames, while in working position by bearings fitted to the printing unit side-frames.No need of bearings and bearing housings to be mounted on the printing cylinder.The displacement of the trolley in the press axis cross direction is servo assisted.The flexibility of the change-over is such that, independently on each printing unit, only the printing cylinder or both printing cylinder and inking system can be replaced.

R990The brand-new Cerutti quick job-changeover solution for the narrow web market!

Cerutti presents its gravure line for the printing of packaging materials:the R990 unit, dedicated to the short run market and specifically designed to satisfy the needs of customers requiring quick job change-over and very high printing quality.

Non-trolley type printing press

The printing cylinder sleeve is mounted on a mandrel permanently fitted to the printing unit side frames.This system gives the printer the possibility of using, on the same press, either a light weight printing cylinder sleeve or a standard one, thanks to the unique printing cylinder sleeves locking solution.The printing cylinder sleeve and the inking system, when in working position, are supported by the printing unit side frames.

Sheeter UP900It’s the solution for carton board industry, combining the flexibility of an in-line sheeter with the gravure printing quality.

Independently driven and digitally controlledSuitable both for long and short runs, thanks to its easy and quick setting features. It handles materials spanning from paper to heavy carton board. Both infeed pulling group and knife cylinder are independently driven allowing for a perfect cut to print register.

The sheets, after being cut by the knife cylinder, are slowed down by two successive sections of driven belts, which deliver the sheets as a shingle.

The shingle delivery allows for a perfect pile formation with the possibility of a diverting system for automatic waste rejection.

The R1080 Gravure Press SeriesA newly born Cerutti gravure line! A new solution “off-the-shelf” to the needs of packaging printers: a modern hi-tech printing press at competitive price, equipped with easy handling trolley system.The new Cerutti R1080 Series ideally completes the models of existing press series R980 enhancing the quality / price ratio, thanks to the full integration of the auxiliary equipment needed to operate the press.

24/7 Cerutti Service.

A global supplier has to be available to his customers at any time. Our 24/7 remote assistance service is ouranswer to this market request.

A number of highly qualified specialists in Cerutti are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to support customers with Cerutti presses, allowing them to maximise press up-time.

The 24/7 service has been more recently coupled with a preventive maintenance/auditing service in order to anticipate potential issues and eliminate them before they can put into jeopardy press productivity. Our 24/7 service has been able to support customers all over the world spanning from Australia to the Middle East, to Europe, to Africa and America: the proof that any customer can get benefits from our service.

Our 24/7 service has grown in the number of customers subscribing to it and we believe it will grow more and more.

These are the reasons for success of our initiative:

1. The prompt reply of our technicians day and night has been able to minimize press down-time for fault correction. If spare parts were necessary to solve the problem, the on-line access to the supplier network has allowed our specialists to provide replacements for the damaged items in the shortest time.

2. Those who joined the program were allowed on-line access to the drawings and electronic manuals of the installed presses and they were supplied with comprehensive instructions on how to use manuals to carry out maintenance in the most efficient way.

3. The analysis carried out on a continuous basis by our specialists on the presses under contract and the relevant information provided to the end users, has allowed them to achieve a greater knowledge of press operation, drive details and controls of their presses; thus resulting in optimization of functioning with minimum waste of time.

4. The electronic equipment used by our 24/7 specialists enables them to monitor the origin of press stops and fault history of the presses. This has helped our technicians to identify the recurrent causes of the faults and to eliminate improper usage of press controls by recommending correct electronic set-ups in order to minimize occurrence of problems on the press.

5. Our specialists have prepared a data base of questions and answers to eliminate possible press malfunctioning. This tuition activity for customers enables an exchange of information aiming to supply them with details of the latest available technology on the market and with the possibility of retrofits to improve machine performance.

So, in few words, the 24/7 service is a way to improve efficiency therefore margins.
