The concept
of integrating press floor operations with
a printing platform for higher throughput
has always been a AQUAFLEX design
focus. In fact, the world's first practical
slide-out quick-change system was introduced
on an Aquaflex press. AQUAFLEX continues
to lead the industry in the productivity
race with the ICT® (Instant Change Technology*)
workflow. Only the AQUAFLEX ICT
system enables complete cleanups and job
tooling (assembly) to be completed off-press,
effectively freeing the press for more printing
hours, every shift of every day. When compared
to standard printing systems, the ICT system
delivers 40% to 60% greater daily throughput
producing more saleable product everyday.
It's like adding a second press for free!
The next time you hear
the words quick change, consider everything
that is involved in a changeover. You need
a system that delivers consistent changeover
times, day after day (not just at orchestrated
trade-show demos). Then, be sure to add
the time the press is sitting idle during
the cleanup cycle. You will discover that
most "quick changes" actually
take hours to go from run time to run time.
The ICT system effectively shortens that
total time to just minutes. In fact, the
ICT system delivers the shortest repeatable
run-to-run time in the industry. That's
the AQUAFLEX difference.
