Ink Mixing... Necessary in Your Process?
There are many variables that enter into the Flexographic Printing process. Don't let the consistency of your ink be one off them. Whether pumping from a bucket or a drum a simple air mixer can get the job done. This is especially important when using dual diaphragm or peristaltic pumps. Mixing the ink during the pumping and printing process helps maintain specific viscosities and color consistency while properly blending all properties of the ink.
Retrofit Existing Pumping Systems
Air powered mixers are easy to control for agitation speeds and also easy to fit with different propellers to control varied mixing rates for different applications. These mixers can be affixed to a wide range of stainless steel hinged lids to adapt to your particular requirements. This type of application has become popular for mixing in drums as well since the large volumes of ink n drums can become susceptible to settling out.
Leave it to the Professionals
Sometimes printers fall into the trap of buying ink mixers from general mixing companies. We recommend you consult experts that can design mixers for your ink room or press side ink delivery system taking into account the varied viscosities and consistencies of your inks and coatings.
