CLEANfleXs: Sales Record in the run-up to Labelexpo 2007

August 23 14:58 2007

Monzingen, August 22, 2007 — In the run-up to Labelexpo 2007 in Brussels the cleaning system provider D.W. Renzmann announces its latest sales record for the CLEANfleXs washing machine. Since the start of production three years ago the compact cleaning system which is especially designed for narrow web printing was consigned to over 25 customers in Europe. At this year-s booth of the company (Hall 5, booth 5 A 15) the German specialist for cleaning systems presents the CLEANfleXs, its tailor-made cleaning solution for label printing.

An increasing number of customers demands lower production quantities from their label printer. Necessarily, this leads to frequent color changes which are associated with extensive and costly shut-downs. Often the manual cleaning of printing press parts is a bottle neck in the production of labels. The easy use of the CLEANfleXs helps to reduce such inactive periods and to realize a remarkable increase in productivity. Additionally, by the complete integration into the daily cleaning process the washing machine lowers the number of deficient products significantly.

Michael Schneiß, Managing Director, D.W. Renzmann Apparatebau: „Beside the strong argument of cost savings the ensurance of a constantly high product quality plays an important role for our customers. In the past few months the demand for the CLEANfleXs in the Euopean markets came along well. Especially in the field of flexo printing we see a growing demand for cost-efficient and easy to handle cleaning solutions.“

For a good part the success of the compact washing machine traces back to the cooperation with KS Chemie, a leading manufacturer of chemicals for the industrial cleaning and pretreatment of surfaces. The cleaning media which are used in the CLEANfleXs have a flashpoint higher 55°C and were developed together with the Düsseldorf-based company. The solvents are tailored directly to the needs of the customers of D.W. Renzmann and provide for an easy cleaning of UV-based colors as well as offset colors. Both companies underline their close and successful cooperation by joining the same booth at Labelexpo 2007. Visitors are invited to discuss the offered cleaning solutions for label printing with experts of both companies at the booth in Brussels.
