New method of ink cost control for corrugated board printers

[Chinese Packaging Network News] Corrugated paper products in addition to good physical (for logistics handling) and economical and practical, there is a very good environmental protection. For example, about 70% of the recycled fiber produced in Britain each year is used to make corrugated box products, and the recycling rate of these cartons is as high as 80%. Although corrugated paper products have many advantages, their development is still limited by many factors. For example, in the corrugated box printing technology, it is necessary to consider the problem of rising costs due to ink waste and waste disposal processes.

In general, companies need to deal with ink and waste of car wash water in order to use corrugated board printers as efficiently as possible. For example, the waste water discharged from the printing press will cause secondary ink loss - the amount of loss depends on the amount of ink recovered, the cost of car wash water, and the impact of the program on the company's profitability. In addition, conventional ink delivery systems generate large amounts of ink waste both during and after printing.

The new products developed by European corrugated equipment manufacturers using technological innovations can enable European corrugated box manufacturers to maximize the benefits of corrugated board printers at a small price. Take the Extend-O-Feed® series leading edge feeder as an example: The height of the feeder tray is set to just allow one sheet to pass through, the quality of the cardboard is lower than that of other printers, and the maintenance cost of the leading edge feeder is also required. Lower - these all help the leading edge feeder reduce the waste generation rate and reduce downtime while increasing the feed speed and accuracy.

Similarly, the company’s new AccuPrint® series of closed ink systems features eco-washing cycle features. In addition to the reduced amount of cleaning water, and because of the closed ink system, water seepage does not occur, so the loss is small (about 0.56 liters ), The ink loss of the traditional two-roll ink transfer system is as high as 3.9 liters. In addition to the above features, the system requires only 5 minutes of cleaning time, which is a quarter of the conventional ink delivery system. Therefore, it can be predicted that with the dual effects of cost reduction and efficiency improvement, corporate profits will also increase.
Rob Dahl Lago, president of the company’s EMEA region, concluded: “The European government has higher environmental standards for corrugated board presses than in other regions. The reason for this is that companies are aware that they are only in a good environment. They can achieve sustainable development, but this premise is that corporate profits have not declined, and we have always had a good reputation and reputation in Europe because of our technological advantages, reliable quality and excellent services. Therefore, we will continue to study And develop new equipment, utilize the maximum functionality of existing machines, reduce business costs, and achieve mutual growth with customers.” (Compilation: Xu Shuhong)
