TRESU has introduced the D3P carbon fibre chamber doctor blade, enabling quality-assured, high-speed printing with reduced manual intervention for mid-web applications.
Available for printing widths between 1200mm and 3000mm, the D3P chamber has a corrosion-resistant carbon fibre composition that is lighter weight than aluminium alternatives, making handling easier and shortening setup times.
The D3P’s design provides an enclosed environment for ink flow, to enable clean, consistent printing at speeds of up to 800m/min. The chamber comes with TRESU’s rubber seal system that automatically maintains ink at constant pressure levels. It is optimally positioned for doctoring on anilox roll diameters that are common with mid-web applications.
Ink flow is further optimised thanks to the chamber’s ink-repellent surface, which also facilitates easier cleaning during ink changes. Additionally, its ‘P-Line’ pneumatic clamping system allows fast, safe blade changes.
The D3P chamber can be fitted with an integrated water nozzle for fast and efficient self-cleaning. Alternatively, it may be connected with the F10 iCon ink supply system that assists in controlling flow, pressure level, colour density and washing.
Constructed as a single piece by resin transfer moulding, the D3P also offers durability to withstand high printing speeds and high-pressure ink flows.
