Replace or Repair Printing Machinery? Which is Best?

 

In fast-paced manufacturing industries, where production never stops, a breakdown can result in huge problems and delays to the business. In these circumstances, how do you make the decision as to whether it will be more cost and time effective to replace or to repair printing machinery?

This process involves welding onsite, grinding the cylinder level and completing with SARAS plating to the initial surface of the cylinder.
