Printing Technology Wache

Comprehensive process optimisation of printing and coating processes with a focus on flexo, rotary screen and gravure printing processes.

PRINTING TECHNOLOGY WACHE

Engineering Process Stability in Flexo & Gravure Printing

PTW specialises in optimising the critical machine periphery in flexographic and gravure applications. We integrate proven manufacturer technologies into structured engineering concepts to stabilise ink delivery, control contamination and improve reproducibility.

Our focus: measurable performance gains through technically correct system optimisation.

Is Your Print Performance Limited by Peripheral Instability?

In many operations, recurring quality deviations and downtime are not caused by the press itself — but by weaknesses in the periphery.
Typical indicators:

• Fluctuating ink flow and pressure behaviour
• Contamination in circulation systems
• Filtration limits and particle recirculation
• Doctor blade wear, leakage and sealing failure
• Repeated troubleshooting instead of structured system control

These issues affect productivity, reproducibility and operating costs.

PTW Engineering Focus

We optimise the functional interface between ink supply, filtration and doctor blade technology — the core for stable ink transfer in both flexo and gravure printing. Ink Circulation & Pump Systems Engineered for reliable, reproducible ink delivery. Filtration & Contamination Control Designed to protect pumps, chambers and gravure cylinders from particle-related damage and performance loss. Chamber & Doctor Blade Systems Controlled ink metering and stable blade behaviour based on proven manufacturer technologies. Doctor Blade & End Seal Engineering Precision blade systems and compression-optimised sealing solutions to minimise leakage and extend service life.
