How to reduce machine downtime and optimise production with an automatic parts washer for trays, chamber blades and flexo components.

In the flexo printing industry, one of the most common challenges affecting productivity is the cleaning of trays, doctor blades, and chamber blades. These components, essential for ensuring high quality priting, require special care during the cleaning phase. However, manual washing of machine parts often proves to be inefficient and time-consuming process.

Downtime challenges in flexographic priting

One of the main factors negatively impacting productivity is machine downtime . Ogni avviamento richiede tempo, soprattutto quando le parti della macchina flexo devono essere pulite manualmente. Spesso, questa operazione può richiedere tra 2-3 ore per essere completata correttamente, con impatti evidenti sui tempi di produzione. L’inefficienza dovuta alla pulizia manuale, infatti, contribuisce ad aumentare i tempi di inattività e, conseguentemente, i costi per l’azienda.

A study conducted by Troika systems revealed that downtime costs in flexo packaging can reach €600/hour. Considering that multiple startups occur daily at each printing facility, it’s easy to see how inefficiencies related to manual cleaning of flexo components can results in significan economic losses.
