Maintenance Shouldn't Wait Until Something Breaks.
Most press downtime is preventable. Bearings don't fail overnight. Anilox cells don't degrade in a single shift. Registration drift doesn't happen without warning.
The shops running the tightest operations don't wait for problems to announce themselves. They schedule preventative maintenance, catch issues early, and keep equipment running at full capacity.
Q360 Group provides scheduled press maintenance programs built specifically for flexographic operations. We come to your facility on a regular cadence, inspect critical systems, replace wear parts before they fail, and document everything so you know exactly what's been done and what's coming next.
If you're tired of reacting to breakdowns, we'll help you get ahead of them.

How Press Maintenance Works
1. Initial Assessment
We start with a full press inspection to establish a baseline and identify immediate needs. From there, we build a customized maintenance schedule based on your production volume, equipment age, and operational goals.
2. Scheduled Service Visits
We come to your facility on a regular schedule (monthly, quarterly, or custom cadence). Our technicians perform inspections, replacements, and adjustments during planned downtime—not emergency shutdowns.
3. Documentation & Reporting
After every visit, you receive a detailed report of work performed, parts replaced, and recommendations for future maintenance. You'll know exactly what's been done and what's coming.
4. Ongoing Support
Between scheduled visits, we're available for technical support, emergency repairs, and questions. Maintenance programs include priority response for urgent issues.
