PLYMOUTH, MA—Flexo Concepts announced that Packaging Plast will begin shipping all its carbon fiber chambers with the TruPoint Green® doctor blade beginning in September.
The Italian OEM manufactures its chambers from a carbon fiber material that offers stiffness and durability in a lightweight construction. Other benefits include reduced water and solvent consumption, easy blade changes and extended blade and end seal life. According to Flexo Concepts, TruPoint Green® is a next generation polymer doctor blade for corrugated printers producing mid-level graphics, with mechanical properties and composition that allow it to meter more effectively with a long blade life. TruPoint Green® in combination with the carbon fiber chamber design aims to deliver better print quality and provide printers with considerable savings on the inking systems of their presses.
Totally in-house designed, assembled and manufactured with 100 percent structural carbon fiber, Packaging Plast’s doctor blade chambers can be installed on CI as well as inline flexo presses. The chambers are suitable for the full spectrum of flexo printed products, from corrugated board to flexible film, including tissue paper.
