Product catalog summary
Applications
Vale-Tech Automated Queue systems are designed to enhance the production of colour blends, particularly for PANTONE® and other special colours. These systems allow for the production of up to 10 spot colour batches per hour, enabling 80 individual blends in an 8-hour shift. This automation reduces labour costs and increases throughput by up to 30%.
VQ Compact Queuing System
The VQ Compact Queuing System features a slim-line upright cabinet with a small footprint, configurable for blend sizes up to 5Kg. It includes a built-in computer display, smoked polycarbonate safety doors, and an interactive safety control system. The system can produce up to 10 blends per cycle and includes a cycle interrupt ability for flexibility.
Benefits and Features
Operators can easily select a mix list, print a barcode label, and start the process with minimal intervention. The system is designed for easy cleaning and includes safety controls between the ink dispenser and queuing system.
Technical Information
The main module dimensions are 55” (W) x 22” (D) x 74” (H) with an unladen weight of 200Kg. It can handle up to 10 containers, each ranging from 1 litre to 5 litres. The feed rate is typically one batch every 4-5 minutes. The system uses Vale-tech Ink Manager™ software with an auto-dispense queue extension and includes features like blend container placement detection and a no container present alarm.
Services
Electrical requirements are 110-230v 50-60 Hz 5A/1500W, and it requires a clean and filtered air supply of 6-8 Bar (85-110 psi). The system includes a thermal label printer for batch information and interfaces with various Vale-Tech Ink dispensing systems.
