As in the HP-series the distinguishing feature of the HPV-series is the upper roller drive. In the case of the HPV-series a gear ratio of 1:3,5 ensures a uniform motion during the printing process. Heavy duty double chains that drive the gearing are enshrined by a safety cover on the opposite side of the press as the driving wheel. Easily accessible screws are used to bring in the slack on the drive chains.
