The printing industry is ever-changing, but your machines are always running. When things start to fail, how are you supposed to know if it’s better to repair or replace your machinery parts?
Unless a part has reached its threshold to repair, you should be able to refurbish most mechanical applications. Such as:
- Ceramic rollers
- Idler rollers used in handling adhesives, hot plastics, sticky material
- Draw rollers
- Stationary jaws
- Former board and noses
- Corona Treater rolls
- Chrome rollers
These parts can be extremely costly to replace. I have been repairing these types of parts for decades. If you hire the right company, you can save a lot of money by expertly refurbishing worn parts.
However, there are certain mechanical parts where repair/refurbished are not viable options. In these cases, replacement parts are the only recommendation to ensure quality and performance. These parts may require replacement rather than repair:
- Concave/reverse/crown bowtie- rolls
- Lead Rolls
- Anodized chill rolls
- Hardened anvil/slitter rolls
