Overview

Running a profitable web processing line at high speed 24/7 requires a solidly-built machine that is precisely aligned and receives regular maintenance. Obstacles to success come from the usual waste and productivity issues and, of course, the new challenge that comes from the inevitable requirements for change. Many of our customers come to us looking for answers to questions such as:

• How to eliminate a nagging register problem above a certain speed?
• How to get rid of excessive stack lean?
• How to adapt to clients’ changing product mix and order quantity?
• How to run new, more ecological substrates?
• How to be more sustainable and give recycling a higher priority?
• How to keep increasing energy costs in check?

To keep or, even better, increase your competitive edge, the answers to these questions must be customized. Implementing improvements will require:

• a detailed knowledge of the process
• engineering the modifications
• manufacturing the components
• interfacing with specialized OEM’s
• installing and commissioning the new equipment/configuration
• coordinating the project work in order to minimize downtime

At RDP Marathon, we have a long history of doing exactly this kind of work. Besides having the expertise to build you a new RDP-designed web press, we also have familiarity with a number of other OEM’s equipment that could be repurposed for your needs.
