FEATURED INSTALLATION



Danish packaging supplier Trioplast Nyborg halved setup times to two hours after modernizing its four-color Fischer & Krecke flexo press with TRESU Ancillary's FlexiPrint chambered doctor blade and F10 iCon ink supply system. The installation provides an automated, controlled, enclosed flow of ink and coating from the bucket to the anilox roll cells, without leakage, escape of fumes, or contamination with air. Operations Manager Frank Jorgensen says, "We recognized the key to maintaining productivity was to ensure the presses ran with minimal manual intervention, material waste, and changeover time. The ink supply offered obvious potential for improvement because the existing open trays allowed excessive evaporation and required constant replenishment with solvent. We eliminated the escape of vapors, cut cleaning to half an hour per print station, and achieved uniform, clean ink transfer at speeds of up to 110m/min."
