Seaway Printing, a Green Bay, Wisconsin-based specialist in printed and bound products, has recently enhanced its operations by integrating advanced Heidelberg technology. This strategic move aims to bolster efficiency and meet the evolving demands of its clientele.
In October 2018, Seaway installed the Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 106-8P press, featuring LED UV drying capabilities. This addition has significantly improved turnaround times and product quality. The press’s Push-to-Stop automation, powered by Intellistart 2, allows for autonomous job changes, reducing labor requirements and minimizing operator errors. Consequently, Seaway has achieved consistent production rates of up to 18,000 sheets per hour, with expectations of a 25% increase in productivity due to these advancements. (heidelberg.com)
To further enhance operational efficiency, Seaway has incorporated the Contiweb CB-N Non-Stop Unwinder into its offset printing operations. This system enables automatic splicing, eliminating the need for manual intervention during press runs. The integration of this technology has added 50 minutes of productivity to each shift, allowing Seaway to meet increased demand without extending working hours. (printing.org)
Seaway’s commitment to innovation is also evident in its investment in the Contiweb CD-N Non-Stop Unwinder for its HP PageWide T250 HD inkjet press. This addition has further optimized productivity, contributing to the company’s goal of achieving an Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) score of 70%. (printing.org)
These technological advancements underscore Seaway Printing’s dedication to leveraging cutting-edge solutions to enhance efficiency, product quality, and customer satisfaction.
