Multi Site
A joined-up route for multi site on South African print floors, written for teams managing more than one press room or branch.
How Multi Site works across a production week
Multi Site is for businesses running more than one press room or branch. It helps keep dryer choices, layout thinking and operating standards aligned across different production spaces.
Map each branch by press size, substrate mix, and available power before comparing dryers. Johannesburg sites often need different reflector cleaning intervals from Durban plants, and Cape Town humidity can shift flash settings on the same ink system. Include planned shift handovers and any generator use so heater bank choices suit the way each room actually runs.
List every press line, the older sites included. Frame the print head, pallet area, and nearby power point so layout issues show up early. A short site note beside each line helps the branch manager keep the same setup record for the next production run.
Branch rollout pack
The output for Multi Site is a working set of branch-specific notes, not one generic layout for every room. It can cover flash position, ceramic IR or quartz bank selection, operator checks, and naming that matches the purchase record. Teams with more than one plant usually need one standard to follow and a few site exceptions written down properly.
Link Multi Site to the relevant Lines page and the matching Cure log entry before stock is moved between branches. Check cable runs, mounting space, and test print records at each plant before any unit is packed for dispatch.

Cross-branch operating conditions
A multi-site plan often has to fit dispatch timing, branch access rules, and older electrical supply at established production premises. A plant in Crown Mines may have different clearance limits from a newer unit near Durban, and courier timing into regional towns can affect when parts are moved. Note any branch that runs packaging one week and garments the next, because heater height and dwell targets may need separate records.
Coastal locations usually need more frequent checks on reflectors, terminals, and exposed metalwork. Inland dust can build up around sensors and lamp guards, especially where doors stay open near loading areas. During load-shedding or generator periods, first-test verification matters more than copied settings from another branch.

What to send per branch
Brief Multi Site with site photos, rollout timing, and what has already failed at each plant. Keep the subject line direct.
List the branch name, print type, dryer now in use, and the issue being repeated across sites. Add photos, power details, and any failed layout attempt so the comparison is based on plant conditions rather than guesswork. Where a buyer needs paperwork, keep the Multi Site note with the job record and the technical sheet for that branch.
