As a strong and reliable partner of worldwide press manufacturers and printers for more than 30 years, technotrans has set market standards with the development of highly precise cooling systems and other press peripherals, to fulfill higher expectations. All beta.line components can be operated from a central control unit wether basic or high-end configuration. FLEXIBLE IN CONFIGURATION AND OPTIONS technotrans reacts to the rising demand for individual and flexible solutions for sheet-fed ancillaries, with the new modular design of its dampening solution circulator, ink unit temperature control, and filtration. THE MODULES beta.d State-of-the-art dampening solution circulator: each model is equipped with cooling and filtration, alcohol and additive dosing, and offers further options such as ph and conductivity measurement. beta.c An essential part of a professional solution. Dampening solution circulator and ink unit temperature control combined in one modular unit minimum space requirements and maximum efficiency. Refrigeration units Highly productive refrigeration units are the reliable base for extensive cooling concepts. beta.z With the beta.z multi-zone temperature control unit for sheet-fed offset printing, technotrans offers a solution that ensures perfect results in waterless and conventional offset printing, even under the most difficult conditions. AT A GLANCE: high flexibility in terms of configuration and options clearly reduced space requirements refrigeration unit can be set-up at distance multicom control console incl. remote diagnosis via Internet and press control interface modular design allows addition of further functions beta.f A compact fine filtration unit which continuously and efficiently operates in bypass to the dampening solution circulator. Its two-step filtration method permanently keeps the dampening solution cycle free of contamination from the circulator all the way to the dampening solution trays at the print units. The tank As a matter of principle, the tank is located centrally in the cabinet. This leads to improved ergonomics and easier access for servicing. The beta.d module is available as an air-cooled (ill.) or water/glycol-cooled unit. An intermediate dampening solution tank including pre-filter functionality, ensures a constant return flow with reduced foaming. Additive containers The electrical switchboard, additive containers and dampening solution tank are integrated within the unit to ensure easy accessibility. Additive containers are integrated into the cabinet, eliminating the risk of spillage or accident. Refrigeration units Inside the air-cooled cabinets, the compact refrigeration unit with compressor/evaporator is located underneath the tank whilst the condenser has an upfacing air exhaust. The refrigeration unit for water-/ glycol-cooled cabinets is also located underneath the dampening solution tank. The cabinet can easily be connected to an external cooling system. Pivoting connectors allow great flexibility during installation. The filter bag efficiently cleans the tank: softflow up to 300 % larger filter area compared to normal filter mats.

The first priority is to lower operating costs, with significant potential to reduce power consumption. At the same time, precise dosing, accurate measuring and control technology and high-quality filtration also play a major role. Of importance here also is the requirement of offering users not only single components for certain functions but an integrated solution. The highlight of the beta.line eco+ is its greatly reduced energy usage. The total of all functions with this system lowers fixed costs by at least fifty percent. Environmentally-friendly printing and conservation of resources are conclusive arguments. As well as the reduced power usage, the beta.c eco+ offers additional features.

beta.z MULTI-ZONE TEMPERATURE CONTROL beta.f FINE FILTRATION UNIT ALWAYS THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE FLEXIBLE FIELD OF APPLICATION PRESS SPEED AS ADDITIONAL CONTROL VARIABLE DECADES OF EXPERIENCE TWO-STEP FILTRATION DRASTICALLY REDUCED OPERATING COSTS Multi-zone temperature control units enable stable production conditions, even when using paint with different viscosity. This is indispensable for high level waterless and conventional printing especially under difficult conditions, such as IPA-reduced or IPA-free printing and when using spot colors. E. g. at banknote and security printing THE PROCESS: The temperature in the ink temperature control circuits is controlled on the basis of the return flow temperature of the associated ink units or, particularly in waterless offset printing, using an IR temperature sensor in the ink unit of the printing press for a direct control of the ink roller surface temperature. In other applications, or if other requirements have to be met, the system can also be used to control the feed flow temperature. If required, the press speed can be used as an additional control variable, allowing an even more precise temperature management. The entire system is designed as an atmospherically closed system incorporating a pressure expansion vessel and a pressure relief valve, offering maximum protection against corrosion and algae growth. Small leaks, e. g. in the area of the cylinder rotary unions, are compensated for by an automatic water refilling device. The beta.f fine filtration unit has been developed, based upon years of experience in dampening solution circulation for sheet-fed offset presses. It operates continuously and efficiently in bypass connection to the dampening solution tank of the circulator. The compact beta.f cabinet unit relies on a two-step filtration method. The pre-filter system with its filter cartridges is used to thoroughly pre-clean the dampening solution and to relieve the strain on the main filter module. The main filter is used for intensive cleaning of the dampening solution using a powerful deep-bed filter. The quality of the filter modules is perpetually monitored by integrated pressure sensors. The result of this continuous bypass cleaning process is a perfectly decontaminated dampening solution and a clean system from the dampening solution tank to the dampening solution trays at the print units. As the dampening solution system requires only minimal cleaning, the operating costs are drastically reduced whilst press availability is maximised. Occasional maintenance work can be carried out easily due to the units practical design. ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE: compact and user-friendly fine filtration unit based on a two-step filtration method: pre-filtration followed by a deepfiltration process. particularly suited for use with UV and special colors, e. g. iriodin, gold, silver, white paint or print varnishes ideal filtration quality and extended filter life-cycles from 6 to 12 months longer dampening solution service life reducing disposal costs for used dampening solution reduced need for consumables: water, IPA, additives, and filter material maintenance costs are significantly reduced permanent quality control of the filter modules with integrated pressure sensors Filter changes can be done with a few simple steps safe and efficient: the dampening solution cycle is completely unaffected by the continuous bypass filtration ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE: each ink unit is temperised by a separate circuit perfect ink viscosity due to individually temperised ink units separately temperised ink ducts ensure stable pre-defined conditions heating function for quick machine availability and reduced spoilage optional temperature measurement inside the ink unit via IR- sensors optional intrusion of engine speed for reference variable (setpoint) optionally press speed can be used as an additional control variable optional water backfeed to automatically compensate small leakage atmospherically sealed system prevents production related damage through corrosion and algae growth individually connectable to central control unit of the printing press or external data remote control multi-zone temperature control beta.z meets high requirements even under difficult conditions due to its incredibly simple bypass principle, the beta.f system can be easily retrofitted to the entire technotrans range of dampening solution circulators
