Mayo Printer Chooses Technotrans To Augment Press Water Treatment

Cashin Print has taken delivery of a technotrans alpha.r 10 water treatment unit, a more robust system to cope with the higher print output of this Castlebar pressroom.

The company which has started work on a 15,000 sq ft pressroom extension has recently taken delivery of a Speedmaster SX 102-2-P for its pharma manuals section work. It is the company’s fourth Heidelberg press so there is quite a demand for dampening solution and the quality and control will be enhanced by having water with predictable pH and hardness.

“We had a smaller technotrans unit running a few presses but with the installation of an additional press we needed a larger capacity unit to run the entire pressroom,”says Damien Cashin, managing director. “We control as many aspects of the print process as possible. This results in consistent print quality on all shifts at all times which increases production efficiency.”

The technotrans alpha.r is a reliable and well proven unit and Cashin Print likes the low maintenance and long filter life. It will change filters approximately every three months. It also trusts technotrans which was an incumbent supplier. The technology is familiar to the operators and it found the installation well planned and efficient.     
The company operates a double day shift, giving 16 hours a day cover. It is also currently installing a Xerox iGen 150 digital press.
