Normally this press will be assembled in the printmaking studio by Polymetaal employees or by associates who have our permission to do the assembly or disassembly. The machine is too heavy and too complex to do it in an other way. The machine can be sent, completely assembled, in a crate. The dimensions of the crates are as follows:
It is important to check out first if the crate can enter the building. Also important to choose, together with Polymetaal, the way of transportation. If it is impossible to enter with the crate, workers of Polymetaal will have to assemble the crate in the studio. We can make a detailed quote regarding the transport method and assembly costs.
If the press has been delivered to you in a crate, the crate must be taken apart with care. Remove the screws that keep the press on the pallet. Now the press needs to be lifted from the pallet, either with a 2 tons tackle block or with a forklift truck.
When the press is on the ground, the press must be adjusted. For that purpose the press has four "adjustable feet". The rollers are covered with packaging paper with grease underneath. Remove this, with a solvent, and clean the rollers and make them dry.
Now the press is ready for use. |
