The Mailänder brand name has always been associated with robust and reliable metal decorating machines able to process all types of metal sheets in the market.
Exceptional technologies for efficient productionThanks to their common technology platform, the Mailänder 280 incorporates many design solutions from the MetalStar 3. You can thus be sure that your press implements the very latest technologies, many of which are often lacking in other metal decorating presses. Whether modern multi-roller system, application-oriented washing systems or state-of-the-art console technology – many details simplify work for the operator.
High flexibility Convenient handling First-class print quality
Technological advantages Designed for tinplate and aluminium Large sheet format up to
1 000 x 1 200 mm Flat sheet travel Sheet thickness up to 0.50 mm Central operator control for all press
functions Fast reacting and stable inking unit Semi-automatic plate change Automatic blanket washing Ease of operation Long service life German engineering, manufacturing
and support
As is familiar with all previous Mailänder metal decoration presses, also the new Mailänder 280 is of a modular configuration allowing you to extend your line and install additional equipment with the minimum of disruption.
The Mailänder 280 can be supplied with any combination of UV and thermal drying systems.
The wide experience at KBA-MetalPrint gained from hundreds of successful projects ensures that all new installations are completed quickly followed by a rapid move through commissioning into production.
Discover a complete new Mailänder, with many highlights.

Highlights Highlights
High-performance feeder 780
Infeed table and deliveryYour benefits Continuous production due to smooth
and reliable sheet transfer Simple and easy handling
On the new high-performance feeder 780, independent dedicated drives ensure reliable and trouble-free sheet transport. The low-maintenance drive eliminates wear-prone components such as cardan shafts and chain drives. The new feeder is at the same time especially simple to operate thanks to its clear layout. It handles all qualities of metal sheet with ease, and that up to a thickness of 0.50 mm.
Highlights Dedicated drives Electronic synchronisation
to the press Continuous pile lift (option) Developed for high speeds and
large sheet formats Quiet blower nozzles Double-sheet ejection Stop & Turn function for fast and automatic
pallet alignment in the feeder (option)
Extremely flat sheet transport Automatic format setting Side guides for precise alignment of
rectangular and scroll sheets, both tinplate and aluminium
Air knife in the delivery for thin and lightweight sheets
The extremely flat sheet transport has received a further significant face-lift on the Mailänder 280. Newly designed front lays contribute to enhanced register accuracy. The lateral and circumferential register are controlled remotely from the console. Diagonal register adjustment is a manual setting as standard, but is also available in an optional motorised version.

Console-integrated register measuring systemThe hand-held measuring head is used to evaluate register marks on the printed sheets. The control function then calcu-lates the necessary corrections for lateral, circumferential and diagonal register.
UseThe printer takes a sheet from the press and places it on the console inspection desk for evaluation of the register marks. Subsequently, the proposed corrections can be accepted and transmitted to the press for automatic modification of the register settings.
