ENTROPIA-TR 2

Drawing on the proven CONTI AIR® technology and an innovative design principle – the so-called Air₂ technology – ContiTech Elastomer Coatings has developed the ENTROPIA-TR 2 newspaper printing blanket. Engineers at ContiTech have endowed this, the successor to the established ENTROPIA-TR, with an additional compressible layer under the cover stock. Air₂ technology makes for reduced transport performance wherever the job demands such, e.g. in the case of shaftless drives and satellite designs. It also provides the same in the case of critical web routing in rubber/rubber configurations.

Thanks to its unique design, the ENTROPIA-TR 2 unfolds exceptional stability in classical, shaft-driven machines. This is achieved by means of the reduced sinking so typical of all CONTI AIR® newspaper printing blankets. Other advantages: Engineered as it is, the new blanket generates much less of a temperature build-up during printing and thus caters to an increasingly frequent demand among coldset users.

“Its running temperatures are extremely low. This minimizes swelling, linting, ink buildup and other problems typically occurring in newspaper printing,” notes Joachim Herrmann, head of printing blanket development at ContiTech Elastomer Coatings. What is more, perfect machine configuration is no problem with the ENTROPIA-TR 2. It ensures uniform engine power consumption in the case of shaftless drives and guarantees stable production conditions.

The ENTROPIA-TR 2 is the logical next step for ContiTech Elastomer Coatings in the evolution of its CONTI-AIR® coldset printing blanket line. This innovative and stable product is ideally suited to the requirements of newspaper offset presses.
