This KBA RA 162-6+L is a used six-colour press — sometimes referred to as a six-colour offset press or multicolour sheetfed press — a type of commercial printing machine designed to lay down multiple ink colours in a single pass through the press, delivering high-quality, production-ready printed sheets at speed. KBA, Koenig & Bauer, is one of the oldest and most respected names in the printing machinery industry, manufacturing sheetfed and web offset presses, digital printing systems, and specialist equipment for packaging, commercial, and security printing applications worldwide. This example was manufactured in 2001 and is located in Italy.
The press is equipped with a Colortronic console for remote adjustment of ink fountains and registers, giving operators precise, centralised control over colour from a single workstation. Integrated quality control is handled by the LITHEC Litho-Flash system, and the press is prepared for connection to prepress workflows via CIP4. A preset function provides automatic size adjustment, streamlining makeready when switching between jobs.
On the feeder side, the machine features a non-stop feeder with a steel plate, ionisers for antistatic protection, electronic double-sheet control, electronic missing-sheet detection, a pointing wheel, and photocells. Ink management is supported by automatic ink regulation from the console, ink temperature control, and an alcohol dampening system of the Varidamp type. A Baldwin refrigerator unit with Automix manages dampening solution temperature, and a Baldwin automatic washing system covers blankets, rollers, and impression cylinders. Plate changes are handled automatically, and the press offers circumferential, axial, and diagonal register adjustment. All cylinders are chromed, and the press is prepared for interdeck units between printing elements.
An inline varnish unit is fitted, equipped with a TRESU chambered doctor blade for clean, controlled coating application. The extended delivery section incorporates three ALV3 modules, a WEKO AP260 powder spray unit, and ELTOSCH Drytronic IR plus hot-air combination dryers to cure inks and coatings efficiently as sheets exit the press. Delivery is non-stop, features a steel plate, and is elevated by 400 mm. Cooling is water-based throughout, and a centralised air pump cabin by PIAB manages pneumatic functions across the press.
