PREFINAS - Printhead Refurbishment Factory In A Suitcase

在采购点和零售销售点以及包装和标签中使用的工业打印头的再制造是满足这些部件需求的最环保和最有效的方法，通过再制造和测试这些打印头，估计每个再制造的打印头可节省5公斤二氧化碳。市场显示，全球商业印刷受到COVID-19的严重影响，许多印刷店完全停止生产。然而，包装和标签印刷的产量却高于正常需求。因此瓦楞包装、标签、纸盒和软包装的体积都有所增加。网上零售增加，印刷量增加，更多的一次性包装用于卫生。回流正在发生。所有这些不断增长的打印市场都使用工业喷墨打印头，当它们停止工作时，定期需要更换，或者重新制造，测试并返回生产。Camscience已决定转向业务，完全重新关注工业喷墨包装和标签行业的需求。作为我们从2020年5月开始的市场研究的一部分，我们接触了包装和标签行业，结果了解到该行业需要一种具有成本效益的再制造和测试解决方案，该解决方案紧凑（可以放在汽车后座上），不占用宝贵的制造空间，重量轻，因此可以由身体不强壮的操作员（女性，身材较小的操作员）携带。PREFINAS -打印头翻新工厂是一个集成系统，包括工业打印头清洁技术（设备，工艺和化学）和打印头测试系统，包括小型工业印刷，其印刷油墨也是一种适应的清洗液，因此在清洗和印刷周期之间消除了打印头冲洗。Prefinas系统被设计成适合于行李舱或汽车后座，重量轻，因此它可以携带和移动，而不需要很大的力量。它也很划算，用这个价格就可以买到一个手提箱里的整个工厂，或者翻新15个打印头。

The remanufacturing of industral printheads used point of purchase and point of sale retail, and, in packaging and labelling is the most environmentally friendly and efficient method of supplying demand for these parts and an estimate of CO2 saving by remanufacturing and testing these printheads is 5 kg per remanufactured printhead.Market has shown that commercial printing globally has been severely impacted by COVID-19 with many print shops stopping production completely. However, packaging and label printing has seen an increase in production above normal demand. So corrugated packaging, labels, cartons and flexible packaging volumes have increased. Online retail has increased, increasing print volumes, more single use packaging used for hygiene. Reshoring is taking place. All these growing printing markets use industrial inkjet printheads that periodically require replacement when they stop performing, or a remanufactured, tested and returned to production.Camscience have decided to pivot the business and entirely refocus on the needs of the industrial inkjet packaging and labelling industry. As part of our market research beginning May 2020 we reached out to the packaging and labelling industry and as a result of this learnt that the industry wanted a cost effective remanufacturing and test solution that was compact (that could sit on the back seat of a car), and did not take up valuable manufacturing space, was light-weight so could be carried by operators who were not physically strong (females, smaller stature operatives).As a result of this research Camscience have developed the PREFINAS system Prefinas - Printhead Refurbishment Factory in a Suitcase is an integrated system comprising an industrial printhead cleaning technology (equipment, processes and chemistries) and a printhead testing system comprising a miniaturised industrial printing, whose printing ink is also an adaption of the cleaning fluid so that printhead flushing between cleaning and printing cycles is eliminated. The Prefinas system is designed to fit in the luggage compartment, or back seat of a car, light in weight so that it can be carried and moved without the need for substantial strength. It is also cost effective, and an entire factory in a suitcase can be purchased for the price or refurbishing 15 printheads.
