16" winged floodbars with 14" squeegees

[jvanick]

We use 14" squeegees in our chopper heads, as we print on 14x18 platens... we spend a lot of time carding the ink back into the center of the screen.

I'm considering upgrading to winged floodbars, but Action Engineering doesn't carry the 14" variety in 'stock', so I'd have to order 12 of them... (which is a pretty good chunk of change, when I only really need 2 or 3 of them).

a few questions...

1.  would it even be worth it to use a 16" winged flood bar.. guessing not, since it won't bring the ink back into the center of the screen...

2. does anybody have any 13-14" winged floodbars 'laying' around that they might be willing to sell? -- or know where to just buy a few of them at a time?

standard M&R style fit should be fine.

Did you try M&R or they have the ink traps that work nice.

This may work for you...

Ordered from Action!  Thanks guys!

FYI, for anybody else looking, the 14" are now a standard stock item there...

I took a Floorbar down to a Sheet Metal Shop and had wings made that I could attach to my existing Floodbar. $10.00 each

So did they make a whole new flood bar?

Looks like they made it to fit flush with the whole face, and go a little deeper than the old one.  Bolts/nuts are on top.
