ScreenServices is awaiting the installation of its third Zünd cutting system
Marking 50 years in the decal and label market, ScreenServices has invested in an additional Zünd S3 digital cutting table to increase its productivity and further boost its competitiveness.
Located in Pelaw, North-East England, ScreenServices’s core business is the manufacture of vehicle branding, safety decals and labels, primarily for the construction and agricultural equipment markets. The company now plans to expand in the automotive and caravan markets and has invested in a third Zünd S3 M1600 with sheet feeder to join its two existing, identical Zünd models, in its finishing department. The trio will work to perform precision cutting of decals on vinyl, polycarbonate, plastic and other materials.
‘We decided that the Zünd cutting system was the best in market to match our needs, which were to increase both capacity and capability whilst also making the department more efficient in terms of staff and costs,’ explained Jason Charlton, chief executive, ScreenServices.
The two Zünd machines already installed at ScreenServices ‘have certainly proven to be a huge asset to our business’, he added, and the team is awaiting the installation of the third.
‘Due to their speed the Zünds have given us the capability to increase the amount of work we are able to produce, but also have improved efficiency within the department,’ noted Mr Carlton. ‘As we have auto-feed machines this means they do not need to be permanently staffed, which in turn means staff are freed up to do other work whilst the machines are running. It also means that we do not need to employ additional staff to increase the volume of work we can produce.
‘Another benefit of the Zünd is that it has a built-in camera which allows for automatic adjustment in the cutting area to compensate for any stretch, etc, in material. This ultimately saves money in terms of having less wastage,’ he concluded.
