High-viscosity ink dispenser max. 100 kg | PO20

automatic

Vale-Tech Ltd has launched its PO system, a complete modular manufacturing line which dramatically reduces labour & turnaround time for UV or conventional paste ink manufacturers. The gravimetric dispensing line addresses the increasing demand for fast turnaround times & consolidation of distribution centres by automating the complete process of order through to packing for custom batches of typically 1-10kg. The PO (press out) dispenser utilises a unique concept in dispensing whereby bases are stored within the dispenser in custom designed vessels of capacities ranging from 20-100 litres, these removable/reuseable vessels are filled on or off site straight from a 3 roll mill reducing another stage of manufacturing and wastage of standard drums or pails. The base is delivered from the vessel to the dispensing valve by a proprietary hydraulic press out system developed specifically for UV inks; this removes the need for piston pumps which are high maintenance and prone to seizure with UV products. Waxes, Varnishes & Driers are all accommodated within the system by varying methods of delivery, typically AoD pumps, piston pumps or pressure vessels.
