ApplicationsA versatile solution for dispensing process colors, base ingredients, and various coatings used in screen and flexographic printing, as well as other applications in the packaging and graphics industry. It is suitable for decanting, potting down, or creating ink bars for process color sets and can be interfaced with a weigh unit for tracking job usage.
BenefitsThe Drum Dispenser series offers a convenient method for decanting printing inks and free-flowing materials from bulk containers into manageable batch sizes. It features an air-driven pump capable of handling a wide range of materials, including screen and flexo inks, through a high-flow valve from 205/55 gallon steel drums. The system is fully integrated, accommodating drums at a 15-degree angle to maximize product removal. It includes a stainless steel height-adjustable drip tray for different container sizes and features an in-line filter, flow control valve, and recirculation as standard.
