MFLEX PLUS\u00ae<\/h1>\n

The “GO – TO” Doctor Blade for High Speed HD FLEXO<\/h4>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text background_layout=”light” _builder_version=”3.0.86″ text_orientation=”justified” module_alignment=”left”]<\/p>\n

MFLEX PLUS\u00ae for HD FLEXO is the latest development in SWEDEV\u2019s range of printing doctor blades. This grade o\ufb00ers signi\ufb01cantly higher wear resistance than other steel blades including high quality tool steels. The high hardness of PLUS\u00ae, due to its high occurence of very small and specially treated carbides, achieves longer blade life while reducing abrasion.\u00a0As a result, this blade can achieve immediate seating to an anilox, maintain precise ink metering for longer periods at very high operating speeds and a reduction of anilox wear.<\/p>\n

Extensive internal testing, supported by independently veri\ufb01ed \ufb01eld tests with customers, con\ufb01rms more than four times greater wear resistance compared with doctor blades made from standard types of carbon steel, speci\ufb01cally in demanding applications like white ink.<\/p>\n

MFLEX PLUS\u00ae is particularly suited to deal with all types of inks including abrasive inks and coatings, such as white inks or other inks with high percentages of titanium dioxide and metallics.<\/p>\n

MFLEX PLUS\u00ae OFFERS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER WEAR RESISTANCE THAN OTHER STEEL DOCTOR BLADES”<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Comparison: Over time, MFLEX PLUS\u00ae shows 25% greater wear resistance compared with other high-end quality tool steels. (Aggregated results from several tests performed at SWEDEV\u2019s R&D center. The weight loss of the material measured after wear is from a 175mm diameter, 40cm long anilox roller running at a pressure of 2 bar, 200 m\/m for 16 hours in tap water.) The results are supported by \ufb01eld tests in actual production with customers. Results may vary according to speci\ufb01c variables.<\/em><\/p>\n

MFLEX PLUS\u00ae for HD FLEXO combines this new amazing steel with a more rigid tip that achieves a clean wipe from the start and for millions of feet. This enhanced tip gives the performance value of a lamella without the \ufb02ex and maintains a more narrow contact area.<\/p>\n

While doctor blades were often the overlooked element in the Flexo process, they aren\u2019t anymore. Blades have more to do with process success than ever before. Armed with the right blade, a \ufb02exographic printer can totally eliminate process waste like UV spitting, streaks, anilox damage, back-doctoring, and do so running at very high speeds for longer periods.<\/p>\n

ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE FOR LOW IMPACT & LONGER BLADE LIFE<\/strong><\/h5>\n

M-FLEX\u00ae Plus is our most wear resistant, non-coated, ultra-re\ufb01ned carbon steel that maintains precise metering of water and solvent inks or coarse coatings. It is reported to maintain precise metering for ink and coating applications many times longer than other non-coated blades and some coated blades.<\/p>\n

FEATURES & BENEFITS<\/strong><\/h5>\n

M-FLEX\u00ae Plus is ideal for use in HIGH SPEED HD FLEXO environments including Expanded Color Gamut providing precise metering for all print types including high screen print. It has been proven to help prevent back doctoring and signi\ufb01cantly lowers anilox wear and scoring. It is safe for use on high line count anilox at very high speeds.<\/p>\n
