GFI Innovations announced the new
AccuBlend-LV Ink Dispensing System for low viscous flexo inks will be unveiled
at the Labelexpo Americas show next week. Taking advantage of technology
advancements and new software programs to develop AccuBlend, GFI (booth #547)
will demonstrate the newest member of its dispensing line-up from September
9-11 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois.
The user-friendly AccuBlend-LV
system offers a host of benefits to improve control over the process, schedules
and workflow of ink dispensing. The robust, fully self-contained machine
combines an attractive design and compact footprint to make the dispensing of
spot ink colors simpler and more time effective.
With a proven two-stage dispense
valve design, AccuBlend-LV features a dozen integrated 5-gallon vessels. Fully
configurable so source containers such as drums can be added to satisfy demand,
the AccuBlend-LV’s design makes refilling simple. Since the design is fully modular, it can
even be configured to accommodate 55-gallon drum batch sizes.
New COLORBOOK dispenser software
with touch screen controls drives this machine. Nearly all dispenser and data
management functions are contained on one screen, and navigation, the tracking
of lot numbers, and batch color correction are functions made easier to
maintain, especially when using work-off inks.
“Much like our dispensing systems
for offset litho printing, AccuBlend-LV is a very durable machine that is built
to last a long time. Operators are going
to love working with it,” remarked John Borkovec, Vice President of Sales and
Marketing for GFI Innovations.
“You can change the dispense
sequence at the time of dispensing ink, and indicators on the printed batch
ticket labels make it easy to see the dispense values, work-off inks and lot
numbers. All of the inventory details can be found on one screen and creating
returned inventory items is very easy to do.
It’s just about as intuitive as your cell phone because it is all icon
driven.”
GFI will have equipment
specialists in the booth at Labelexpo Americas performing demonstrations and
will be available to provide more information about AccuBlend and other
products.
