C I Repair and Restoration Gallery

Sterling’s versatile 3 sets of equipment are designed to be utilized in either the C I cylinder manufacturing process, or for on-site restoration projects. Equipment is constantly re-engineered and updated to adapt to an array of different press manufacturers, and their ‘state of the art’ machines.

Sterling helps our customers with critical problems they encounter…

…restored after an existing nickel coating delaminated and failed.

…when electroplating repair attempts fail.

…a steam filled cylinder needs spot repaired and reground to ensure proper thickness and smoothness for the gasket material being manufactured.

…a cracked main journal shaft was straightened, re-welded, and the C I cylinder fully restored on-site.

Many older conventional Central Impression cylinders restored by Sterling are still in service today.
