BFT Flexo

The flexographic industry has traditionally centered around manual inking and cleaning systems. The BFT Flexo completely changes that. Through Eaglewood Technologies’ partnership with BFT Group of Italy, we bring printers a fully automated platform that standardizes ink control, eliminates operator error, and transforms press efficiency. The results yield consistent high print quality, no waste, and fully automated control of ink-related variables.

Functions

Zero Contamination

Before each color change, the system performs an internal cleaning cycle of the bucket-side piping and purges any water left from the last wash. This is to prevent contamination and assure clean starts every time.

SOAP2CLEAN™

Cleaning solution can be dosed automatically during the wash cycle. The amount is set from the touch screen, so one can easily boost daily or periodic cleaning.

Quick Wash

A fast wash cycle shortens job changes between similar colors, for less downtime and waste.

Controlled Ink Flow

Supply and return pumps are digitally regulated. Flow adjusts automatically with press speed, and overpressure in the chamber is prevented.

Ink Recovery

At the end of each job, ink is extracted from supply and return lines and returned to its original bucket. No ink is wasted, and the system is left ready for washing.

Pre-Wash & Washing

The pre-wash stage reuses partially consumed solvent or water, saving up to 50% on cleaning fluid. A controlled wash follows, leaving circuits and anilox cells fully clean.

Bucket-Side Pipe Cleaning

Pipes and filters on the bucket side are automatically washed during bucket changes to avoid contamination.
