Technotrans hopes to raise awareness of alcohol-reduction throughout the printing process at Komori's Facing the Future workshop this October.The liquid technology systems supplier will showcase its products on a range of Komori machines at the Leeds event, which runs on 8-11 October.
On display will be a Komori Lithrone 640 fitted with an array of technotrans technology for reducing alcohol-usage, such as the beta.c 220L, combining dampening solution preparation with ink roller temperature control in a single unit.
Alcosmart measures the alcohol concentration to very fine tolerances, vital when dosing below 5%, while its beta.f dampening solution fine filtration unit is retrofitted to keep the dampening solution clean and consistent.
This ensures that print quality is enhanced, while costs are minimised by reducing chemistry, filters and maintenance time.
In addition, technotrans will be demonstrating its Softflow dampening filtration technology on a Komori Lithrone 1029.
It offers a large filter area up to three times bigger than a normal mat filter, and only requires changing every three to four months.
Standard retrofits are available for under £600, including installation
Technotrans operations director Peter Benton told printweek.com: "In the print industry, there is a lot of investment in new machinery, but often there is a lot you can do with the older machinery by adding to it, at a lower-cost.
"There is so much pressure put on printers. A major drive behind buying new equipment is often to consider the environment and gain accreditations."
