Decommissioning, Transport, and Commissioning of Sakurai Printing Press for Seacourt Limited

About

Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership Limited awarded a contract to Lithtec Limited for the decommissioning, transport, and commissioning of a Sakurai 480SDw printing press.

The scope included providing engineering staff to decommission the press from a site in Rotherham, Yorkshire, and deliver it to DH Print Services Cleaning facility in South Kirby.

Subsequently, the press was loaded at South Kirby, transported to Seacourt in Oxford, and reinstalled.

The work also involved carrying out a gripper service throughout the press, commissioning the press, and conducting a print test to the same standard as observed at the Rotherham site.

Additionally, an internal move at Seacourt Press involved decommissioning and reinstalling a Horizon Bindery line.

The contract value was £31,400, inclusive of labour, transport, equipment hire, accommodation, subsistence, and all expenses.

Electrical connections on the press were included, but disconnection or reconnection of the mains power supply, spare parts, consumables, oil, and filters were excluded.
