To keep your disc repair machines running efficiently while protecting critical parts supplies, we are introducing an important change to how we supply replacement platen components.
Why the Platen Matters
The platen assembly is essential to your machine’s operation. It firmly grips the disc during resurfacing cycles to prevent spinning and slippage, safeguarding the delicate graphic and data layers from damage.
Over time and continuous use, the adhesive grip on the platen naturally begins to wear. Previously, resolving this required purchasing the complete, pre-assembled platen unit—an expensive route that generated unnecessary plastic waste.
💰 Lower Running Costs
Only pay for the adhesive wear strip rather than the entire plastic unit.
🌱 Greener Operation
Reduces single-use plastic waste by reusing your durable machine components.
⏳ Preserving Stock
Ensures finite parts last for years following the closure of Venmill.
Managing Finite Venmill Parts
Following the closure of Venmill, original manufactured parts—including the green moulded plastic platens—are now strictly finite. Replacing whole assemblies when only the adhesive pad is worn quickly depletes vital spare parts.
To ensure every customer has access to the components they need for long-term machine maintenance, we will no longer sell the complete assembly. Instead, we are switching to self-fit adhesive strips:
How to Fit the Replacement Adhesive Strip
Replacing the grip pad is quick and simple. Watch our short walkthrough video below to see the fitting process step by step:
