Redfern Labels Installs Flexo Press
smart SOLUTIONS
Sustained solutions to your most pressing pressroom concerns.
South African flexo label printer Redfern Labels has installed a new MPS EF 340 flexo press to its pro- duction facility in Johannesburg, South Africa. The system is a 9-color 350mm flexo press that includes MPSConnect, delam/relam and turnbar, multilam (coldfoil) and a separate laminating unit, two die sta- tions with Wink’s SmartGap adjustable anvil systems, and Phoseon’s Nexus one UV LED curing systems. The MPSConnect feature provides real-time per- formance insights of the MPS EF press through the collection of multi-directional data from hundreds of sensors every second. This data collection helps identify bottlenecks, errors, and inefficiencies in the operator process, optimize press performance, and decrease waste, said the company.
We begin with an investigation that benchmarks the most common causes of waste/downtime and their costs including:
Job Changes Mid-run Press Stops Customer Complaints Excess Blade Consumption Inadequate Best Practice SOPs
Anilox/Cylinder Wear and Damage Print Defects Like Dirty Print, Streaks Lack of On-going Compliance Training After careful ROI analysis, we help you develop and implement a sustainable solutions plan.
Exceptional Quality. Superior Results. Guaranteed.
