ONSITE CYLINDER PATCHING

From time to time unforeseen damage occurs to cylinders. Pressmen leave bolts and wrenches on and around the press. Only to find themselves smashed between two cylinders. What about the occasional paper jam resulting in a major cave in. These accidents make it impossible to produce a quality print.

The question now becomes. What is the quickest and least expensive way to get the press back online? Side framing a press can be a huge expense and take several days to weeks to complete. Not to mention the shipping & repair time incurred in sending out the pulled cylinders for repair.

Santa Fe Machine has the answer! Avoid costly down time resulting from damaged printing press cylinders. Let us patch your press cylinder ON-SITE with steel or chrome. Our two technicians have a combined 40 years of experience patching cylinders on the press. SFM will have you back on line in as little as a couple of hours depending on the severity of the damage. Backed by a guarantee that will insure that the unit will print at manufacture’s normal settings for packing and pressures.
