MARSH
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about MARSH from 3G Electric.
What character sizes can the MARSH Type S stencil cutting machine produce?
The MARSH Type S manual stencil cutter produces 3/4 inch characters at a rate of 16 characters per foot. It supports up to 4 lines per board. This model is designed for marking crates, drums, and pallets in shipping, warehousing, and manufacturing environments. The machine is manually operated and does not require electrical power. Replacement parts, such as cutting strips (e.g., ESC60-RCS), are available to maintain cutting performance. The Type S is identified by manufacturer part number S and is listed under catalog page 1352.
What are MARSH stencil oil boards made of and what thicknesses are available?
MARSH stencil oil boards are made from paper-based material. A common thickness is 0.015 inch, as seen in the Type 549 PK flat board (MPN OBC15-7X24-50) with dimensions of 7 inches width and 24 inches length. Oil board rolls are also available, such as MPN OB15-24X36-50. These boards are designed to resist ink bleed, providing clean impressions when used with stencil rollers and inks. They are suitable for marking cartons, pallets, and shipping containers. The boards are consumables and are typically replaced after use.
Is MARSH stencil roller ink hazardous for shipping?
Some MARSH stencil roller inks are classified as hazardous materials. For example, MPN 20887 carries a California Prop 65 warning. This classification affects shipping and handling requirements. The inks are formulated for use on porous surfaces such as cardboard and wood, producing bold, legible impressions that dry quickly and resist smudging. Water-resistant white ink is available in 32 oz containers (MPN 20923). Users should refer to the safety data sheet for specific handling and disposal instructions. 3G Electric provides logistics support for these items, including compliance with applicable regulations.
What replacement parts are available for MARSH stencil machines?
Replacement parts for MARSH stencil machines include cutting strips and cams. The replacement cutting strip (MPN ESC60-RCS) is used to cut stencils for industrial marking on cartons, drums, and other surfaces. The cam (MPN RP25-S) is a material handling part designed for use with Marsh brand equipment, model S, and fits item number 1F150. It controls mechanical motion for precise positioning and timing. These parts support the maintenance and continued operation of Marsh stencil cutting machines. 3G Electric stocks these components to minimize downtime for maintenance managers and procurement specialists.
How do I clean MARSH stencil equipment after use?
MARSH stencil ink cleaning solvent (MPN RMS-Q) is formulated to remove dried stencil ink from industrial marking equipment. It is used in manufacturing, packaging, and logistics facilities to maintain printheads and stencils for consistent marking quality. The solvent is classified under UNSPSC 12161803. Proper cleaning extends the life of stencils and rollers and helps prevent ink buildup that can affect print clarity. Users should follow the manufacturer's safety instructions and use appropriate personal protective equipment. 3G Electric supplies this solvent as part of its Marsh product range.
What surfaces can MARSH stencil roller ink mark?
MARSH stencil roller ink is designed for porous surfaces such as cardboard and wood. It produces bold, legible impressions that dry quickly and resist smudging. Water-resistant white ink is available in 32 oz containers (MPN 20923). The ink is applied using stencil rollers, which transfer ink through the cut stencil onto the surface. This method is commonly used for marking cartons, drums, pallets, and shipping containers. The ink is not intended for non-porous surfaces unless specified. For best results, ensure the surface is clean and dry before application.
