Ink Manufacturing
Ink manufacturers must meet an ever increasing and challenging range of applications. Food and beverage, clothing, home improvement, promotional, and industrial product manufacturers are just some of the industries which rely heavily on very specific high-quality inks. Dye, pigment, ceramic, and other inks which are water or solvent based require very different filtration solutions. Properly applied filters are instrumental in removing unwanted particles or agglomerations, which can lead to inconsistent product quality and inconsistent or poor results during printing.

Inkjet Printing
Inkjet printers must operate reliably, with repeated high quality print results, to prevent product waste and increased maintenance cost. Even with very high quality, and well filtered inks, particles, colloids, or agglomerations can appear during storage, handling, or transportation, and can plug print head nozzles, resulting in poor print quality and printer downtime. Capsule type filters made for specific ink types are used in inkjet printers to filter new and reciculated inks to protect sensitive printhead nozzles. Vent filters allow air in the inkjet printer to be removed without losing ink.

Ink Degasser
ExtraButor™ gas-liquid separation membrane contactors is used for degassing of inks to prevent gas bubbles from affecting print heads. It uses hydrophobic hollow fiber membrane technology to remove dissolved gases in inks.
View Key Features & Benefits by Series | Ink Degasser
Extrabutor Series | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
ExtraButor™ gas-liquid separation membrane contactors use hydrophobic hollow fiber membrane technology to remove dissolved gases in inks. In typical operation, liquid (ink) to be degassed flows outside the hollow fiber. At the same time vacuum is pulled through the inside hollow fiber. Micro pores on the surface of the hydrophobic hollow fiber allow gas molecules to pass through, but reject liquid molecules. Under the force caused by vacuum, the gases dissolved in ink outside the hollow fiber moves continuously through the micropores to the inside hollow fiber, and then is taken away by vacuum. In this way, dissolved gases in ink are removed. | ||||||
