Production, workhorse

KSF 5: The 3-tonne workhorse with auto foil feed

When a studio graduates to sustained production, the KSF 5 is the next machine on the bench: three tonnes of pressure, 240 mm of daylight, a sliding table and automatic foil feed that keeps runs moving.

At the bench

Built for the work, not the brochure

The auto foil feed advances fresh foil between impressions so the operator can concentrate on loading work, and the sliding table brings the job out to be changed rather than reaching under a hot head. It is hand-built for shifts, not sprints.

Perfect for
  • Sustained runs
  • Scaling studios
  • Packaging & covers
  • Dense materials
