Flexo Concepts has announced that Gonderflex International is now shipping all of its presses with the TruPoint Orange doctor blade. The company uses Orange to prevent anilox roll scoring and for its consistent performance on a variety of press widths.
Based near Montreal, Gonderflex is Canada’s leading manufacturer of flexographic presses. Gonderflex specializes in custom equipment for converting, printing and packaging applications. At this year’s Labelexpo Europe, the company exhibited its new generation Rotoworx finishing solution featuring the Orange blade.
When asked why he chose Orange, Stefan Langguth, North and South American sales and technical manager, explained that his company recommends using plastic doctor blades on ceramic anilox rolls to protect against scoring. He went on to say that, “TruPoint [Orange] has been very good for us and our customers, running up to 28 to 30˝ across with no issues.”
