Pulse Production Improvement has more than 40 years of experience in providing flexo printers with machine maintenance, anilox roll cleaning services, consumable supplies and application advice. The company, which has five staff covering the Benelux region, plus agents in Germany and France, will assist Tresu in retrofitting projects.

Tresu’s ancillary program, including ink supply systems and chamber doctor blades, provides a complete system for automatic, controlled ink circulation in flexo printing, resulting in improved efficiency, faster productivity and quality consistency.

Capable of being retrofitted to existing machines or fitted with new presses, the ancillary program covers all flexo applications, from labels to corrugated board where widths can exceed 6m.  

Henrik Kristensen, vice president of at Tresu Ancillary, commented: ‘As average printing run lengths decrease, there is a growing demand from packaging converters for solutions that reduce waste and make-ready times. Controlled ink circulation, through the Tresu ancillary and retrofitting program has demonstrably enhanced press performance at printing operations worldwide. The addition of our lightweight, corrosion-resistant carbon fibre chambers means corrugated printers can exploit these benefits too.’

“With Pulse Production Improvements, we have a vastly experienced team of experts who can provide, local, responsive and long-term support to keep the flexo printer at the forefront of competitiveness.”

Pulse is a subsidiary of Rudico Holding, which also comprises print operation Felco, the packaging pre-press service Rudico Flexo Processing, and the artwork workflow service Packaging Artwork Solutions.

Tresu is to retrofit its carbon fibre chamber doctor blade and F10 iCon ink supply system on a 2500mm-wide Fischer & Krecke CI flexo press at Felco, a corrugated preprint converter.
