Indianapolis, IN. - KECO Coatings joins forces with corrugated printing press original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to offer KECO-coated nonstick EZ Clean ink pans. This new aftermarket product reduces the cycle time associated with clean-up. KECO has developed high performance nonstick coatings for EZ Clean ink pans and traction release idler rolls for corrugated applications, and KECO can now supply OEMs with nonstick-coated parts, including ink pans and idler rolls. Through this new EZ Clean process improvement program customers can purchase new, coated ink pans and idler rolls from KECO direct.
Founded in 1980, KECO Coatings is a leading developer and applicator of high performance nonstick coatings for the printing and packaging industry and is a licensed DuPont Teflon® Industrial Applicator (LIA). Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, KECO has sales offices in Charlotte, North Carolina and Tucson, Arizona. KECO Coatings applies Teflon® coating systems and plasma Teflon®. Conductive idler rolls are certified to ISO 9001-2001 and AS9100 standards.
KECO President Mike Klinge states, "More often than not our corrugated printing customers need OEM KECO-coated spare ink and adhesive pans to kick start our EZ Clean process improvement program. It has always been our goal to make it easier for our customers to tie-in to this unique offering. We feel that we have accomplished this by joining forces with the leading OEM printing press suppliers. Our customers simply need to supply us with the model and serial numbers of their printing press and then we can supply nonstick-coated equipment manufactured to OEM specifications in a matter of a few weeks. Typical return on investment (ROI) occurs within a few weeks after installation."
