New SAVEink chamber doctor blade for narrow web flexo highlights TRESUs presence at Labelexpo India 2018
Friday 02. November 2018 - +At Labelexpo India 2018, TRESU Group will present its ancillary programme of automatic ink supply and chamber doctor blade systems for flexographic label and packaging presses, providing solutions for reducing waste, consistently clean printing at faster speeds, and improved machine uptime (stand M23, 22-26 November, India Expo Center and Mart, Noida Delhi NCR).
A highlight of the stand will be the new TRESU FlexiPrint Reservoir SAVEink chamber doctor blade for narrow web flexo applications up to 800mm wide. With an integrated high-capacity reservoir, the TRESU SAVEink chamber doctor blade is ideal for process and spot colours as well as high ink transfer printing, without the need for a connected pump. TRESU SAVEink is suitable for long and short run production; ink may be added to the reservoir without stopping the press.
The TRESU SAVEink chamber is sealed and locks into place in seconds without the risk of spilling or ink contamination. Its doctor blades are in fixed, pre-set positions and require no further adjustment: optimal contact is made with the anilox roll, minimising wear.
Visitors to Labelexpo India will also be able to experience the TRESU SAVEink chamber doctor blade installed on a press at the Alliance Printech PVT stand (F21).
TRESUs chamber programme is available for all web widths from 185mm to 6000mm and includes light-weight, corrosion-resistant carbon fibre and ceramic variants. Using the companys unique “Pressure Control Technology”, the chambers eliminate air contamination and microfoaming, to ensure clean, uniform print on the substrate. Suitable applications include labels, flexible packaging, and paperboard printing and coating. Chamber blades may be supplied with new presses and retrofitted on existing ones.
Chamber doctor blade systems for enhanced flexo performance
Also featured on the stand are other models in the FlexiPrint range: FlexiPrint Basic and FlexiPrint Reservoir, offering high price-performance ratios. These doctor blade systems maximise print quality, efficient ink use, and savings on waste.
FlexiPrint Basic offers high-quality doctoring for anilox rolls from 80mm to 2000mm in width and between 60mm and 400mm in diameter. Suitable for water, solvent and UV-curable inks and coatings, FlexiPrint Basic features TRESUs patented E-Line eccentric clamping system and seals for fast, accurate and easy doctor blade changes, and protection of ink quality.
FlexiPrint Reservoir is designed for water-based and UV coatings. It can be manually filled or used with a pump. The easy-load cassette enables fast colour/coating changes and the patented seals mean that surplus ink can be reserved in the chamber for future use.
