10. RotaPlate - the reliable,
low-overhead rotary screen
for non-Stork systems
The future of narrow-web rotary screen printing is
non-woven, whatever unit you're using.
Users of non-Stork rotary screen systems finally have a
screen material that will bring long-term consumables
cost savings and improved performance: RotaPlate.
Its electroformed, pure-nickel, hexagonal construction
offers greater strength and stability, to withstand the
rigours of higher-speed printing and handling.
Even at 50 metres a minute, back-up screens and line
breakages are a thing of the past. What's more, you'll be
able to use the same screen for more repeat print runs.
Our customers are experiencing RotaPlate lifespans of up
to 100,000 web metres. Isn't is time you enjoyed similar
reductions to your bottom line?
For a RotaPlate trial, contact your local Stork sales
representative.
