In 2015 the above described press was upgraded with Siemens drives. According to the current owner. And he said the electronics have been upgraded to Siemens only. So any one that knows Siemens can work on it. They set it up so the drives are independent, each of the two folders, each block of 4 press units, the chill stands all work independently.
They also upgraded to Baldwin spray dampening and Baldwin blanket wash. The folders are capable of ½ and ¼ fold. They also installed WPC web guide, closed loop color registration, cut off control and silicone. Press runs a 60-65,000 per hour. Print test available.
The Heidelberg Harris NC900 (often referred to simply as the Harris N900 or N900 series) is a commercial heatset web offset printing press originally manufactured by Harris (later associated with Heidelberg Harris after the companies’ collaboration or merger in the web press division).
Basic Description
It is a roll-fed (web) offset lithographic press designed for high-volume production of printed materials that require heatset drying. This allows the ink to dry quickly on coated or uncoated paper via heated ovens, preventing smearing and enabling faster running speeds for glossy or high-quality output.
- Type: Heatset web offset (blanket-to-blanket configuration typical for these models).
- Common configurations: Available in 4-color or 5-color versions (e.g., 900A or 900B models), often with a single web.
- Key specs (based on documented examples):
- Maximum print/web width: Approximately 45 inches.
- Cut-off (cylinder circumference/repeat length): 21 inches.
- Rated operating speed: Around 1,050 feet per minute (fpm).
- Typical applications: It was used for commercial printing jobs such as magazines, catalogs, brochures, inserts, books, and other medium- to long-run heatset work where good color quality and efficiency on web paper rolls are needed.
These presses are older models (many from the 1980s–1990s era), and examples on the used market are often noted as having been idle for years, but they represent solid, reliable technology from the Harris/Heidelberg Harris lineup of web presses (similar in family to models like the M-series but in a narrower/compact format).
We will post photos and hopefully a video as soon as we get them.
