The perfect pump for Komori

Printers must have reliable, easy-to-use pumps which can meter inks and coatings without foaming, pulsation or variation in flow and the pumps must enable quick clean down without waste or spillage. That's why Watson-Marlow pumps, first adopted by printers to replace traditional diaphragm and impeller pumps, are now being fitted as standard by the world's leading press manufacturers.

One such company, Komori, manufactures the Lithrone offset press range, used extensively for food carton and foil production which demands a press with UV varnish and/or aqueous metallic finishing station.

Komori's 40% UK market share is well earned, and every aspect of press operation has been carefully considered. Listening to their customers, Komori saw the demand for Watson-Marlow peristaltic pumps to provide smooth, accurate and reliable pumping of UV varnishes and coatings. Extensive trials confirmed that press performance is enhanced by Watson-Marlow pumps and that the straight-through and clear flow-path eliminates the need for valves or seals, and stops clogging and blockages.

Keith Baxter, Technical Manager for Komori, says "On top of the smooth and accurate fluid delivery, we were impressed by the strong industrial build of the pumps, which ensures long life and reliability."
