Canflexographics is proud to have partnered with BFT to offer their integrated solutions and systems of BFT Carbon Chambered Doctor Blades and BFT Flexo’s Inking Systems to the Canadian printing industry.
BFT is a project that stems from the need for continuous innovation in the printing world, with a particular focus on inking systems. Today, most systems are operated manually, without automation. The pump speed is regulated by the operator, and the ink bucket is removed during the washing phase, and a bucket of water is inserted.
To enhance this process, BFT has created the BFT Flexo inking and washing system and the BFT Carbon doctor chamber: two products that can be used separately, however when integrated, reach unparalleled levels of process optimization! BONUS - everything is fully digitalized.
An exceptionally effective solution for manufacturers, printers and all those who work in the printing industry daily.
BFT Carbon – Carbon Chambered Doctor Blades
(Advanced Composite Equipment)
BFT Carbon is developed in carbon & guarantees a surface like new, even after ten years of use!
Key benefits of carbon fiber material chambers include:
-
Structural strength - much higher than aluminum.
-
Light weight as carbon fiber is lighter than steel.
-
Carbon surface makes it much easier to clean.
Key Products
Thanks to the high surface tension of the epoxy resin, ink does not cling to the surface, and water simply removes the ink from the surface during washing, requiring less effort and time.
Carbon is an ultra-light material and facilitates the installation and movement of the doctor blade unit. Unlike aluminum systems that require two people for handling, BFT Carbon only requires one operator.
Profiles are specially designed for every type of application, from inking to coating. BFT creates made-to-measure profiles at the customer's request and converts doctor blade units in aluminum with state-of-the-art carbon fiber units.
BFT FLEXO – Inking Systems
The BFT FLEXO systems are completely automatic: to start any cycle, just press a button on the touch screen.
Process standardization - The operator can easily set the speed of the pumps from the screen optimizing the inking and washing phase. This setting is saved and linked to the order to be resumed over time.
Ink recovery - Thanks to the option of reversing the delivery pump, the system can recover all residual ink that is washed, reducing waste!
Self-Diagnosis – All components of the system carry out a self-diagnosis, showing the life of each component & signaling any potential maintenance to the operator, avoiding costly downtime!
