Caroflex Success an Amazing Storey
Carton maker, Storey Evans, has hailed the Caroflex Swift Wash system a success after it reduced down time during the cleaning of presses from two hours to just ten minutes.
After an initial trial period, Storey Evans has made the Caroflex Swift wash System a permanent fixture in its label making department.
Managing Director at Storey Evans, Dennis Marshall explains:
The wash system has proved to be extremely versatile and we use it on all our flexo printing presses and ancillary equipment. We previously used a hand wash system, which could take up to two hours if we cleaned all eight units on the press. However, the Caroflex system can clean the whole press in just 10 minutes. This kind of efficiency is invaluable to us when down time means lost revenue.
The installation of the Caroflex wash system has led to a much cleaner and more pleasant working environment. There are fewer chemicals on the factory floor so our employees are also working in a much safer environment. An added bonus is that the machine is compact so it makes the factory floor look tidier too.
David Baker, who is sole designer and manufacturer of Caroflex Swift is not surprised at its success.
He says:
We are finding that those trialling the wash system are extremely pleased with the cleaning results and all the benefits of its speed and efficiency. As a result, the majority of those printers are making the Caroflex Swift a permanent addition to the factory floor.
Caroflex is one of the UK’s leading companies in the specialist manufacture of cleaning machines for the printing industry. Its Caroflex Swift Cleaning System is an easy to operate ink tray, doctor blades and ancillary parts cleaning machine.
Cleaning solution is automatically pumped into the wash machine with its own inbuilt pump valve, the Caroflex System can then be loaded ready for the cleaning cycle. When activated the cleaning solution is jetted directly onto the trays and ancillary parts via a series of spray nozzles and collected into its own filtered reservoir where it is recycled back into the machine until a change is required.
