Interview with Alberto Ferrara, CTO of BFT CARBON and BFT FLEXO at Print4All.
Let me introduce our corrugated printing solutions. Our main product is the carbon fiber doctor blade chamber, featuring the most stable loading system on the market. This hydraulic loading system ensures maximum stability during operation.
We provide doctor blade chambers in any length, including plug and play chambers compatible with major machine brands. Our chambers range from 600 mm to 5.5 meters, making them suitable for large-scale production, including jumbo-sized machines.
