Me & My: Shree Refrigerations Ecochill

Founded in 1948, Amar Ujala is the face of Amar Ujala Publications. Besides this, the newspaper publication house has a tabloid daily, Compact, and more than 120 titles of educational books and competitive magazines. Right now, we have more than 120 editions of Amar Ujala from 18 printing centres. Other than newspapers, the company has also expanded to commercial print production. The 2013 Indian Readership Survey reported that, with 5.510 million, it had the twelfth largest daily readership among newspapers in India.

 

The chilling system maintains the required temperature during printing. The ideal temperature is 14 degrees celsius. We use the chilling systems from Shree Refrigerations at all our printing centres and the number is 18.

 

There are two main reasons to choose the chilling system from Shree. It is the most economical chilling system and it is a perfect fit for the Orient web offset machines that we use in our facilities. There is collaboration between The Printers House (TPH), the manufacturer of the Orient presses, and Shree Refrigerations.

 

Yes. We studied others brands, but did not find anything within the price range.

 

The chilling system contains two major components – temperature controller and pressure to supply water (includes other chemicals) to all points. We like the supply pump best. We also like that the system is cost-effective.

 

Being a TPH consumer, it was an obvious choice. We also found it to be a value-for-money product.

 

Availability of spare parts for the systems is not up to the mark. The manufacturer needs to work on it. We would like the company to provide services like services printing presses’ manufactures’ offer.

 

The main function of a chilling system to maintain the temperature during the print production which is 14 degree celsius and this chilling system constantly provide it. So we can say it is an appropriate system for us.

 

Not actually. Now, they have added auto-doser as well, which add fountain solution automatically whenever the PH and conductivity change during printing.

 

It is reliable enough to meet our production demand. We are using their chilling systems in all our printing centres so there is no doubt about reliability. During the peak production time, we run the machine at its full speed and we never faced any failure of the chilling system.

 

For those who wants to maintain the temperature moderate during print production. It reduces print waste, thus it saves both our time and money.

 

Whenever we will buy new machines, or when our existing systems are defunct.
