The install involved the construction of a 14m scaffold capable of withstanding the 5.5 tonne weight of the Durst machine to install it into the second storey facility.

Tim Hill, managing director at Speedscreen, said the process was "very tricky but brilliantly executed" by Durst.

He added: "It was quite hairy watching 5.5 tonnes and half a million pounds swinging in mid air!"

The 2.5m flatbed and roll-to-roll printer, which is the Maidstone company's biggest investment to date, is anticipated to boost annual turnover by around £750,000.
