VISCOSITY REGULATOR

Viscosity regulators are used to automatically monitor ink and glue viscosities according to real-time print production values. Since the regulator accurately detects, circulates, mixes, and monitors ink viscosities according to baseline indications to ensure consistency when printing, laminating, and coating, manual adjustment, and regulation is no longer necessary.

APPLICATION

• Gravure and flexography packaging printing including polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, and BOPP.
• Lamination equipment that laminates plastic, paper, and rubber materials or substrates.
• Coating machinery used to produce bank cards, negative film, polaroid, vehicle vinyl wrapping, and other substrate coatings.

ADVANTAGES

• Stable control of ink viscosity reduces print miscues and material rejects, and ensures colour consistency, fade resistance, and drying, and ensures higher quality prints.
• Minimizes the need to purchase expensive pigments, and ink consumption is also lowered reservedup to 20%, effectively decreasing printing costs and increasing profit.
• Both colour consistency and density are controlled according to the percent solids to the fluid indicated to achieve consistent print quality.
• An automated system requires minimal manual operation and upkeep is relatively low as long as the diaphragm pump is well lubricated to extend its service life.
• Compact, lightweight equipment is easy to install and can safely be operated with reliable results.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS

• Manufactured from high-quality, corrosion-resistant stainless steel.
• Fitted with a reliable control panel and diaphragm pump that senses viscosity through circulating pulses.
• Laser detection sensors are installed to detect when evaporation inside the tank causes the ink to thicken.
• Automatic controls adjust the load on the pump to regulate viscosity according to desired consistency.
• The flexible ink hose is manufactured to provide strong recovery without deformation or distention.
• Air regulator and suction hose ensure optimal ink transfer back into the sub-tank requirements.
