I-ICS INK CONTROL SOLUTION
9Pages

FLEXO MACHINE 1.DESCRIPTIÓN I-ICS is the most complete solution for the global control of printing inks that is capable of managing: * CC - The Pigment Concentration Control to maintain and repeat the printed tone. * CT - The Temperature Control module has the mission of maintaining a stable temperature in the ink, minimizing the evaporation of the solvent by cooling the ink, within the appropriate limits with a precision margin of +/- 1º C. Optionally and on demand, we incorporate the ink heating system. This heating causes the need to add retarders to prevent the ink from drying on the...

In summary, the advantages of maintaining a stable temperature are: 1. Better ink transfer and therefore higher print quality. 2. Uniformity of tones during production processes and in future repetitions. 3. Decrease in the consumption of solvents and elimination of retardants. 4. Improvements in production processes, by increasing printing speed. 5. Energy saving derived from the lower electrical consumption used in drying 6. Environmental sustainability due to the reduction of solvent emissions. How does the I-ICS / CT work? The ink is passed through a high quality temperature exchanger...

Any of the following modules can be added to the I-ICS-CC-CT system. • PH Control of PH, improves drying control and maintains stable water-based ink. It is a module assembled to the I-ICS system, which far exceeds the market standards in its area of activity. It is intended for water based inks, it automatically measures and corrects the PH levels of the ink used with an accuracy of +/- 2.2 keeping all the qualities of the ink stable. This module is made up of sensors, one for each unit of measurement, controlled by software and a PH corrector addition valve. I-ICS / PH includes: Pneumatic...

I-ICS / CS includes: Flow reading sensor. Control electronics. Software for the presentation of readings. The solution can be installed with all the modules or with any combination of them that is necessary, as wellas being updated after the first installation adding new existing features or future developments. All solutions can be integrated as a single system with the automatic washing system of the printing circuit in I-ACS flexographic printers. 2. WORKING I-ICS Concentration Control is a more than a simple viscosity meter. The result is a completely identical run and by memorizing the...

3. MÓDULS All I-ICS modules: Temperature control, stirrers, solvent consumption measurement, PH control, independent solvent mixture, special ink filters, are designed to be added to the printing equipment, under the same chassis and on the same panel of control. Both water and solvent inks can use: • Temperature control • Pneumatic Stirrers • Ink Filters. In the case of solvent inks, these two modules can be added: • Solvent Mixer • Solvent Consumption Meter. And for water inks we have an exclusive module: • PH control. 4. ADVANTAGE Traditionally, viscosity has been the variable used by...

• Same tone printed throughout the print run. • Eliminates color adjustment times in repetitions. • Quick, effective and easy cleaning. Serial integration with the drive line. 5.TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Concentration precision margin ……………………………………………… ... ………. + / - 2% Installed electrical power …………………………………………………………………… .. 1500 W Solvent pressure required ………………………………………………………………… .. + / - 4 Kg.
