Curious whether anyone in cyberpress world has ever tried a product called Motorsilk in their printing press(es).
According to what I have recently seen in a slide show at viridissolutions.com, a printer might be interested in this for a few possible reasons:
1. Lubrication is greatly improved, and maybe use less energy while operating the press
2. Wear of press and oil is greatly reduced, requiring longer time between oil changes
3. The technology might make an older model behave like a new model
Now, before you put anything into a new press, you should make sure that it is an approved product to not void warranties. For German presses, I think FOGRA tests such additives for deleterious effects on elastomers and seals. I'm not sure whether Komori has a similar Underwriter's program.
Just curious. No, I'm not a distributor. Yes, I discovered it as an automotive application, since like 1 and 2 above, it promises increased gas and operation efficiency, and we all know what's happening with the price of energy. I look forward to a few comments.
