Wedderburn adds Flexo Wash PK 160 parts washer to support flexo press investment

Its press investment program is intended to allow it to turn jobs around faster, with less waste, while maintaining quality. This highlighted the need to keep up with the presses’ abilities and provide a safe OH&S environment with Wedderburn operations manager Gary Gibbon commenting: ‘Old school ways of cleaning plates and press parts were only ever going to hold back our business.  When experienced operators are spending their time cleaning ink chambers, plates, and other press parts by hand, it’s pointless having a press that can do a job change in 15 minutes.

‘You wouldn’t buy a car without air-conditioning, and I doubt there are many houses without a dishwasher these days, so it’s crazy to spend millions of dollars on printing equipment without investing in the technology to keep it operating as efficiently as possible. I have no hesitation in recommending Flexo Wash equipment to other companies, as it has paid for itself here through increased efficiency, OH&S and consistency in print quality.’

Jet Technologies supplied the PK 160 parts washer to Wedderburn New Zealand.
