    Dear all.
    Please help. There is a machine Plamag Plauen of 1948 that is still working... This is not an offset press, but a letterpress type. It is used for producing the tear-off calendars working almost 24h/day. Now the company that owes that press wants to move the building, but they have no documentation to deinstall and install afterwadrs this machine. Can anyone provide whatever help in finding any documentation specifying in mounting (what the foundation bed should be, part's list, ect.) this very old press? I also place some images of it.

    PLAMAG now is a sub of manroland.com, but donĀ“t think that anyone can help you with descriptions.
    The only way is asking manroland plauen.
    Years ago I dismounted a KOEBAU Express, letterpress web, without any paper and it was mounted in another city by industrial service comp very well. I ran it for some years.
    But such an old press like yours can get many problems if remounted. F.E. gearwheels are worned out or broken.
    we had a broken axle and serious problems to get the right steel for replacement. Luckily KOEBAU had drawings.
    btw.: within my apprenticeship from1968-1971 I worked at an old letterpress. My grandfather owned it before WW II.
    Good luck
