Nilpeter opts for Orange doctor blades

15 April 2014


Nilpeter is now shipping all new FB Series press installations worldwide with the TruPoint Orange doctor blade from Flexo Concepts. The press manufacturer has replaced steel with the plastics-based Orange "due to its superior metering performance and ability to eliminate UV ink spitting".

The high performance FB-3 UV press technology was introduced to the European market at Labelexpo in Brussels last year and featured the TruPoint Orange doctor blade. The blade's successful performance on-press at the show is said to have inspired Nilpeter to replace steel with Orange on all new press installations.

Combining a 'next generation' plastics material with Flexo Concepts' latest innovation in tip engineering, the TruPoint Orange blade is claimed to deliver the same metering performance as steel with "up to four times the blade life".

Available in 10, 13 and 16 inch web widths, Nilpeter's FB series models are said to be among the fastest narrow web presses in the industry, at more than 227m/min. They are based on modular flexo technology for easy configuration.
