Training That Fits Your Line and Your Staff
Our training support is designed for people who need to print consistently, not just understand the theory. We work with new operators, supervisors and maintenance staff on cylindrical screen-printing machines for bottles, cups and tubes, with a focus on the actual jobs they do every day.
Training can be arranged at our Aeroton base in Johannesburg or on site at your factory. For teams in Johannesburg South, Midrand, Pretoria, Durban or Cape Town, we plan the visit around your shift times and production needs so the machine can be checked in real conditions.
- New operator onboarding for first-time staff
- Refresher training for existing teams
- One-on-one coaching for supervisors and leads
- Support for mixed batches and repeat orders
What We Cover During A Session
Every site has different materials, speeds and print requirements, so we keep the session practical. We show staff how to set up screens, align containers, control ink flow and spot the small issues before they become waste. If your team is dealing with coastal humidity in Durban or temperature changes in Gauteng, we also cover how those conditions affect drying and registration.
We can also help with colour setup, screen making basics and simple production checks. That means your team learns how to keep work moving during load-shedding, shift handovers and busy periods when there is no time for guesswork.
- Machine start-up and shut-down steps
- Screen alignment and registration control
- Ink handling, drying and curing checks
- Cleaning routines and safe daily care
- Basic fault finding for common print problems
Clear Steps For A Training Visit
We keep the process straightforward. First, we speak with you about the machine model, the products you print and the issues you want fixed. Then we schedule a session and arrive with the right tools, screens or spare parts if needed. If there is a persistent fault, we can combine training with a breakdown repair or preventive maintenance visit.
During the visit, our trainer works alongside your staff and demonstrates each step on the actual line. We prefer hands-on guidance because operators remember far more when they do the job themselves, with someone correcting the small things in real time.
- Initial call or email through our contact form
- Review of your product range and current challenges
- Booking for on-site or Aeroton-based support
- Hands-on instruction with your operators
- Follow-up advice after the session
Support For New Machines And Older Lines
Some teams need help getting started on a fresh install, while others need to get an older line back into good shape. We support both. If a machine is newly installed, training can be tied to site setup so staff learn the correct sequence from day one. If the machine has been running for years, we can refresh the basics and correct habits that are costing time or causing rejects.
This is often useful where staff changes are common or production has grown and the old method no longer holds up. A short session can save a lot of material, and fewer off-centre prints mean less rework later.
Production Problems We Help Operators Fix
Training is not only about instruction, it is about solving the actual trouble spots that slow you down. We help operators identify where faults begin and what to check before calling for a repair. That saves time on the floor and keeps your team more self-reliant.
Common issues include poor registration, ink build-up, uneven pressure, drying problems and slow cycle times. If your line is affected by power interruptions or inconsistent supply conditions, we show staff how to reset safely and protect product quality during restart. A good operator can spot trouble early, which makes a big differnce to daily output.
- Poor print alignment or shifting artwork
- Smudging, faint prints or patchy coverage
- Screen clogging and cleaning issues
- Slow output caused by poor setup
- Repeat faults after stoppages or power cuts
Why South African Plants Ask For Refresher Training
Many businesses in South Africa work with seasonal staff, changing shifts and tight deadlines. Even a solid team can lose consistency when people are rushed or when one experienced operator leaves. Refresher training keeps the standard steady and gives newer staff the confidence to work without waiting for constant help.
We also support teams that need practical guidance for municipal and site rules, especially where waste handling, cleaning chemicals or workshop access controls are in place. The aim is simple, keep the operation safe, tidy and productive.
If you need support in Aeroton, Johannesburg South, Midrand, Pretoria, Durban or Cape Town, or anywhere else in the country, we can help arrange a session that suits your production plan.
