Retrofitting Older Presses With Carbon Fiber Mandrels Breathe New Life Into Existing Equipment

GREEN BAY, Wis. - April 17, 2015 - PRLog -- Stay up to date with the latest in flexographic press technology. Carbon fiber mandrels from MECA & Technology Machine create the opportunity for faster run speeds while reducing vibration. The lighter weight makes them a much easier mandrel to work with during change over. Designed specifically for flexographic printing presses, MECA's carbon fiber mandrels are available with conventional air actuation or patented internal piping.

“Our exclusive process keeps up with the rapidly changing technology in the industry,” says Mick Karchinksi, Vice President of Sales. “Our high-modulus, filament-wound carbon fiber mandrels are lightweight to save energy but still as stiff as conventional steel cylinders.” This allows for traditional steel performance while being more energy efficient.

MECA & Technology Machine's patented cylinders are made for faster run speeds. The experts have designed their equipment to allow this while having no rusting and completely eliminating metal flaking. MECA also lets you complete your carbon fiber system with carbon fiber bridge sleeves.

MECA & Technology Machine employs approximately 50 people at its Green Bay, Wisconsin, facility. For more information about the company’s carbon fiber mandrels, spline couplings and other custom solutions, call Mick Karchinski at (920) 336-7382.
