Process Technology for Printing Inks - 3

Always an idea ahead for you ... Various requirements are imposed in the production of printing inks, such as color intensity, transparency and gloss, chemical and mechanical resistance, as well as properties related to production technology, which are necessary for further processing with respect to bending or deformation. That is why you, as a printing ink manufacturer, demand efficient grinding and dispersing plants in order to guarantee that your products are of reproducible, consistently high quality for the consumer. Savings on the raw materials side on the one hand, and the increase...

The dosing of raw materials is selected as a function of continuous or discontinuous process control. In general, a distinction is made between transport systems for wet and dry material. Intelligently-designed feed systems can be tailored to a number of machines and plants. Many references demonstrate our know-how and capability for the design and implementation of feed systems.

of the pigments into a binder solution MasterMix® Dissolver MasterMix® Dissolver is used for the dispersion of solids in liquids. The mixing process takes place in batches in an interchangeable tank. The speed of the high-speed dispersion disk is infinitely adjustable via a mechanical V-belt drive, hydraulically or via a frequency-controlled drive. PMD-VC Intensive Mixer The PMD-VC Intensive Mixers are stationary mixing and dispersing units for the processing of large batches. Separation of the mixing and dispersion functions provides for an extremely energy-efficient process that is...

Epsilon Inline-Dispergierer The Epsilon Inline Disperser is used in circulation mode, where the powder can be fed from a sack via suction lance, or from a sack feed station, or alternatively, BigBag or silo. The Epsilon operates similarly to a feed pump – with optimal flow control, an underpressure is created in the processing chamber during operation. This underpressure is used for powder induction, whereby, when combined with a suitable powder feed system, the intake of external air is minimized. Ψ-Mix® Inline Disperser The Ψ-Mix® Inline Disperser combines a new dispersion method, whereby...

Process Technology for Printing Inks - 8

NETZSCH develops machines and plants for the production of flexo- and rotogravure printing inks. The most important quality characteristics for these printing inks are color intensity, transparency and gloss. In the NETZSCH Neos and Discus agitator bead mills, small grinding beads can be used at very high throughput rates under stable production conditions. This means that the defined quality characteristics can be achieved with reproducibility and high productivity.

FINE GRINDING RAW MATERIAL HANDLING OF WET AND DRY MATERIAL The agitator cooling with the newly-developed Neos grinding system stands for maximum performance, product quality and efficiency. Coupled with the reliable use of extremely small grinding beads, the required product quality can be achieved with lower specific energy consumption. The grinding tank, agitator shaft and product outlet are designed for cooling and thus prevent overheating of the product despite extremely high power inputs. This guarantees a significant increase in production output. The Discus Grinding System The...

Successfully implemented System Concept for Flexo Printing Inks From site preparation through to commissioning and final plant inspection – NETZSCH delivered a true turnkey solution. An essential part of the project was the design and construction of the new PMD batch mixer for the production of NC whites without a milling phase and use of the upgraded Zeta® horizontal circulation mill as well as the revolutionary Ψ-Mix® inline disperser. All products manufactured are either shipped directly to the end user or held in stock, ready to be bottled with one of the largest dispensing systems in...

OFFSET / SCREEN PRINTING NETZSCH develops machines and plants for the manufacture of offset and screen-printing inks. The most important quality characteristics for these printing inks are color intensity, transparency and gloss. When using the TetraNex® disks with the Discus grinding system, a production output of at least 30% is achieved while, at the same time, reducing the specific energy consumption compared to the previous disk geometry. This means that the defined quality characteristics can be achieved with reproducibility and high productivity.

FINE GRINDING RAW MATERIAL HANDLING OF WET AND DRY MATERIAL The Discus Grinding System is the quantum leap in disk grinding technology. With the combination of the further-optimized Discus disk agitator and the NETZSCH DCC® separator system, you are guaranteed the highest throughput rates with considerably narrower residence time distribution and thus more intensive grinding with consistent stress intensity. The power input of the mill is significantly increased, with a simultaneous increase in energy efficiency. The Discus grinding system activates and optimizes the movement of the...
