MPS reports successful open house

MPS welcomed around 200 visitors from more than 45 companies at an open house held during drupa at its factory in Didam, the Netherlands. Three presses were sold during the event.

Attendees saw a demonstration of four different materials being converted on the company’s EF flexo press, comprising three different jobs with distinct repeat sizes. The total demonstration reportedly took less than 20 minutes, with virtually no material waste and set-up times.

The machine is equipped with APC automatic press set-up technology. While using the job memory, the press operator needed only to focus on the ink level and changing materials.

MPS also showed three different options for inking the anilox roller: first the ‘normal’ way, with the use of a metering roller, with a minimum ink content of less than 0.5 liters; then with a new recirculation system which uses a peristaltic pump to automatically feed the ink into the ink tray; and finally the company’s ‘lean inking’ technology. Launched in 2008, it is a closed doctor blade system which has a minimum ink level of just 0.2 liters.
