Flexo: Advanced Viscosity Control System

Viscosity Control systems for ink, adhesives and varnishes
Solutions with measurement technology and viscosity control by vibration technology.
From the experience of GAMA in the packaging market, and with the support of I&C and of R&D of leading Press Suppliers, the viscosimeters VIS G26 and G29 have been developed: simple tools, compact and easy to use, that control ink viscosity, both solvent based and water based, integrated in the pipe for the distribution of the ink from the container to the printing unit.

The VIS G26, projected to ensure the quality of the printed product, is based on a principle of ink control through the vibration of a sensor, diapason, that in contact with the ink softens its vibration and creates a wave that goes through the liquid. The observed data are elaborated and transformed in Ford or Zhaan cup values.

The viscosity values are compared with the set up data and, for every variation, the Supervisor elaborates “on the fly” the perfect formula of ink-solvent and will automatically modify the percentage of solvent in the ink. The System provides the operator with a production report about the viscosity’s, temperature’s and quantity’s deviation of the solvent used. The sophisticated software of Gama allows an ink control every 10’’ for an accurate quality of printing.

Viscosity Control solutions with “drop ball” measurement technology

Microprocessor control for the ink and adhesive viscosity regulation.
It calculates the falling speed of a body in the liquid, maintaining a constant viscosity.

The Viscosimeters G20 - G26 - G27 - G29 - G30 - G31 positioned in a danger zone, deviate a part of the ink-adhesive, which goes from the pump to the basin. Thanks to the absence of moving parts and to the automatic washing system at the end of the work, it doesn’t require maintenance from the operator.

VIS-G20

The VIS-G20 combines economy and ease of use of the control for regulating the viscosity of the ink. The viscosity measurement is done thanks to a vibration sensor, and simpler interface allows operators to edit more easily.
