Unique Carbon Fiber Chambers
Absolute Engineering has made significant progress installing their unique woven
carbon fiber chambers on post printers over the last 12 months.
Great Northern Corrugated (GNC) originally installed 3 units on their Ward before
proceeding to upgrade their United Flexus. Bob Smith of GNC Racine commented'' We
can now run many of the jobs we used to skip-feed on regular feed.
The doctor blade change has gone down from 30 minutes to 5 minutes, and because
of the make-up of the chambers, cleanup is now an actual clean-up, the ink slides
off with minimal effort ... the crews absolutely love them. I would recommend these
chambers with 100% confidence.''
Absolute have also achieved considerable success with BOBST/Martin upgrades, including
NT1628, NT1636 and 924 print units.
Rick Young, Absolute's agent in North Central USA, is delighted with the momentum
generated. "We have several customers who originally upgraded just existing
equipment, but have now started specifying them on their new equipment. This proves
that Absolute chambers can give quantifiable benefits over traditional chambers"
Absolute have recently moved to a new factory in order to meet the increasing demand.
The plant includes test facilities to complete development of a new range of upgrades
specifically for Corrugated. These new options will provide even more opportunities
to generate cost reductions for any customer using current chamber technology.
