Overview: The Colourblend range of dispensers, available in 18, 32, or 36 ingredient configurations, is designed for high-volume applications requiring speed, accuracy, and reliability. These systems can dispense batch sizes from 20 to 400 kg (40 to 800 lbs) and are suitable for both solvent and water-based inks and coatings.
Specifications: The dispensers feature precision stainless steel valves with an accuracy of +/-1g (optionally +/-0.1g). They are controlled by a PLC with user-configurable parameters and include automatic valve cleaning and product recirculation. The systems are ATEX certified for Zone 1 hazardous areas and can handle up to 36 x 2 stage dispensing valves.
Applications: Ideal for large printers and converters, the Colourblend systems provide flexibility in production schedules and ensure maximum press uptime. They are also suitable for ink manufacturers and paint & coatings applications, offering just-in-time production and minimal stock holding of pre-mixed blends.
Benefits: Key benefits include fast and precise batch-to-batch consistency, reduction in stock levels, detailed usage reports, full reuse of press returns, and a cleaner, safer working environment.
Features: The systems support solvent, water, or UV-based products, with a dispense capacity of 20-400 kg. They include manual control backup, various scale options, height-adjustable suction tubes, and full recirculation through the dispense valve. The Inovex Management Software, written and supported in-house, stores all formulations for accurate and repeatable dispensing.
Technical Information: The systems are equipped with high-specification PCs and printers, integral modems for remote software support, and various pumping system layouts for flexibility in production.
