The advancement in technology within the field of Digital Printing over the past 10 years has been rapid, with larger, faster machines producing a higher output of product. 

The challenges of temperature control remain however as these larger & faster digital printing presses still require precise cooling to operate at the optimum level.

LAUDA’s Ultracool range of industrial chillers have been providing cooling onto many digital presses for over 15 years, with Hewlett Packard Indigo’s being one of the main recipients. Depending on the type of press, whether it be Commercial Printing or Labels & Packaging, the press needs to be kept at a cool temperature to allow for the high throughput of work and to remove the heat load being generated during its process.

The LAUDA Industrial chiller is often located outside of the Printing Room and circulates a water/glycol mixture to and from the printing press. Typically this is either at +2°C or +6 °C delivery temperature depending on the press model and the respective heat load.

The smallest Ultracool chiller in the printing range has almost become redundant as more and more customer upgrade to larger presses, to take advantage of the latest developments in technology to help increase productivity and profitability.

The LAUDA Ultracool chillers are reliable partners within the Digital Printing Industry, providing the precise temperature control need to for the press to operate. The new generation of chillers now providing improved energy savings features and benefits, making it an even more desirable option as customers continue to lower production costs where possible.

Coupled with the Technical Service & Support provided by LAUDA Technology within the UK, LAUDA is well placed to continue its own growth alongside the Digital Printing industries own successes.
