Flexibility and efficiencyPatras – modular systems formaterials logisticsWhatever the press, whether offset, flexo or digital, for many

companies, Patras is a tried and tested high-performance

transport system for reel transport to and from manual and

automatic unwinders and re-winders.A modular design strategy allows the system

to be customized to suit specific production

scenarios and printing-plant architecture. The

choice of options ranges from a manual version

– for printers with a low throughput of reels –

to completely automated systems controlling

goods inwards through to reel storage and

disposal of residual reels – for large plants

consuming a high volume of materials.

Patras can deliver enormous time and cost

savings – as well as waste reduction – thereby

significantly enhancing the efficiency of your

plant. Koenig & Bauer plans and implements

logistics solutions designed to suit your layout

and business management and control of the processes

on modern control consoles represents a

decisive advantage. Patras and the latest fully

automatic Koenig & Bauer autosplicers are

networked to an integrated logistics solution

via a production management system. Manual

interventions are an exception.03

Patras – systems for materials transportModular design – from manual to completelyautomatedThe Patras modular reel-supply system can handle

reels with a maximum diameter of 1,800 mm

(70.9 in), a maximum width of 2,800 mm (110.2 in)

and a maximum weight of 6 t (6.6 US tons).04

From manual to completely automatedPatras MThe budget-priced standard version, Patras M,

consists of a manually operated transfer table

and reel trolleys (viz. trucks) along with the

associated rails and turntables. Reel stripping

and splice preparation are also M is engineered for small to medium-sized press installations. Subsequent

automation in the reelstand zone is no problem

because the foundations have standardised

dimensions and predesigned installation paths.A low-cost version of Patras M is also available

with a reduced foundation. It accepts reels

840 mm (33 in) to 1,000 mm (39.4 in) in width

and no more than 1.3 tonnes (1.4 US tons) in

AA choice of automation levels, storage and

transport systems allows Patras A to be

configured to your precise specifications.

Equipment includes SRVs (storage and

retrieval vehicles), AGVs (automated guided

vehicles), automated reel-stripping and splice-preparation systems, high-bay stores, chimney

stores, tipping stations and slat conveyors

etc. Here Koenig & Bauer acts as the main

contractor, thus ensuring that the systems
