P+D installs second Elitron system A
second Elitron cutting system has been installed at P+D to improve in-house quality and
efficiency. The Irish company first invested in an Elitron Kombo TAV cutting system in 2022. John Lloyd, operations director at P+D,
said: “The installation of the Elitron Kombo TAV had a very positive impact on our operations. It significantly increased our speed and efficiency, especially for short-run and complex jobs. It also meant we no longer rely on physical dies, which reduced both setup times and costs, making us much more agile.” Investing in the Elitron Kombo THC twin
beam 3200x1600 cutting system provides P+D with greater operational resilience, allowing the commercial print provider to run multiple jobs simultaneously. Mr Lloyd added: “The THC’s twin-head
cutting configuration allows us to double productivity on repeat or high-volume jobs, helping us meet tight deadlines without compromising quality.” Following the installation P+D has seen a 40 to 50% increase in cutting output compared to the company’s previous single- head system, while setup and changeover times have been reduced by around 30%. Mr Lloyd said: “Faster turnaround times mean clients can bring products to market

Atech and was described as being a smooth process.
