Vakuumtransport – Sichere Bogenführung für industrielle Druckmaschinen

Stable sheet guidance even at high speeds: Vacuum transport systems from DUO-Technik ensure precise material flow and maximum process reliability in printing and converting facilities.

Why Use Vacuum Transport in Printing Presses?

In modern printing and finishing systems, demands on production speed, registration accuracy, and process stability are constantly increasing. Lightweight, thin, or large-format sheets, in particular, are prone to fluttering, slipping, or unstable travel.
Vacuum transport systems stabilize the material flow through targeted vacuum control. The sheet is held securely on the transport element, ensuring smooth and reproducible running even at high machine speeds.

Vacuum Conveying Systems by DUO-Technik

DUO-Technik’s vacuum conveying systems are designed for continuous industrial operation and can be flexibly integrated into existing machine designs.
Key features:

  • Uniform vacuum distribution

Technological Advantages of Vacuum Transport

  • Precise Sheet Stabilization

    The controlled vacuum system securely holds the sheet in place on the transport element. This reduces fluttering and positional deviations and improves process stability, especially at high speeds.

  • Improved registration accuracy

    Smooth material flow supports subsequent process steps such as printing, coating, or further processing and contributes to consistently high product quality.

  • Gentle material handling

    Vacuum transport enables low-contact handling of sensitive substrates and reduces the risk of damage or marks.

  • High integration flexibility

    The systems can be integrated into both new machines and retrofit projects and can be adapted to different layout requirements.
