What do we hear from printers?

  • printing plates, rollers or press parts are underdamped resulting in production downtime
  • The chemicals used does not give the expected results or is not matched to the printing inkss
  • Poorly chosen agents damage Components
  • The cleaning process is chaotic - everyone does it differently, with no clear rules
  • Washing takes a lot of time, involves people and causes downtime
  • There is a lack of confidence that the chemicals currently in use comply with current regulations and new regulations
  • There is a focus on waste reduction and reducing energy consumption at the company
  • What's missing is a solid analysis: how much washing costs you and how much you can profit from it

How do we operate?

We take a comprehensive approach to cleanliness management at the printing plant, taking into account all the necessary elements of the cleaning process:

  • We analyze the effectiveness of current procedures so as to identify areas for improvement: savings in chemical consumption, cleaning quality, cleaning time.
  • We tailor products from a broad portfolio (chemicals, cleaning equipment) to specific requirements to ensure the continuity of the production process, minimizing downtime and associated costs.
  • We implement equipment, organize training, and prepare washing processes and procedures so as to preserve the longest possible usefulness of washed components for use in production.
  • We use our laboratory to develop agent formulations when the current portfolio does not meet the printer's expectations.
  • We develop graphic instructions for the use of individual chemicals and different colored markings to help the operator with day-to-day work. 
  • We keep you informed about the changing legislation in the field of supplied products (cooperation with PIH/PIP/Sanepid)
  • Chemicals for plate leaching
  • QUICKER machines
