POLARE
for low viscosity products
The Inkmaker POLARE is an innovative and versatile automatic dosing system, ideal for the dispensing of concentrated and low viscosity inks, enabling a mixture of ink technologies to be handled through a single head directly from the original ink containers.
Features
- Fully automatic and easy to operate, it requires minimal input.
- Blending operations are performed in few simple steps and with perfect accuracy
- The POLARE can accommodate a maximum of 20 DN14, high precision, multi stage dispensing valves
- Single dispensing point allows dispensing any container of small size
- The number of dispensing valves is based on the actual customer’s requirements
- Valves are individually activated through pneumatic cylinders.
- Polare is equipped with a values wet cleaning system which leaves the nozzles neat after each dispensing.
- A pneumatic ¼” pump and a dedicated pipe line deliver the solvent to the washing device, ensuring the cleaning of the nozzles.
- The washing solvent is stored into a 25lt pail
- Extremely compact and with a very limited footprint, the POLARE comes in different layouts based on the available area.
- The concept of Polare combines a Dispensing head Module with a Low Viscosity Module
- From the Low Viscosity module, the products are pumped to Dispensing Head through a piping network using ½” pneumatic double diaphragm pumps.
- The module is engineered to store the inks in their original packaging, 5, 10 and 25 l pails size only.
- The Low Viscosity module can store up to 20 components.
- In case of larger size storage containers, additional components can be placed outside of the module and handled through suitable pumps and piping
- The system management and automation are run by Inkmaker software
- A weigh summary sheet is printed foreach batch showing the exact batch information.
- The Softwate includes a wide choice of reports such as: dispensed formulas, job costing, production history, stock availability, etc.
- Complete production traceability with the use of a bar-code system c/w bar-code reader and bar-code label printer
- Available options: – Automatic lifter for dispensing containers
- The Polare can handle both water based as well as solvent-based products ( – ATEX or IEC-EX – version)
