Intelligent Inkometer

Description:

Each type of ink has a different tack（viscosity）and this is why it is important to measure the tack of the ink. After all, this determines how an ink behaves on the press. How much force is required to distribute the ink over the roller evenly and is the ink suitable for specific types of paper? Too much tack could loosen fibers on the surface of the paper. It is also important for the correct color sequence on the printing press. With a four color press the tack value of the inks on consecutive towers of the press will have to be slightly less in order to prevent the last ink layer from pulling the previous ink layer from the paper.

NT 715 Intelligent Inkometer is designed to measure the apparent tack of printing ink under conditions closely approximating the dynamic conditions of the ink-distribution system of a printing press. It also can measures the integrated forces involved in ink film splitting and the effects of roller speed, film thickness, temperature and solvent evaporation.

This Inkometer consists of three rollers:The center roller is a temperature controlled brass roller；The bottom roller is an oscillating rubber composition distribution roller；The top roller is a rubber composition roller attached to the measuring system which measures tack. And all rollers are available for testing standard and UV inks. The brass roller temperature is controlled by circulating acoolant mixture provided by a thermostatic bath.

Features:

1.The digital viscosity meter adopts PLC+touch screen+ servo motor to accurately display testing conditions such as instantaneous copper roller speed and water tank temperature;

2.The instrument is equipped with a user-friendly design, fully automated for testing, and does not require manual operation of the clutch pressure between the testing roller and the ink roller during the process;

3.The instrument comes with functions such as testing fly ink and increasing viscosity, and can also be equipped with an EXCEL table function for sending data to a PC;

4.Equipped with ink cleaning scraper, easy to clean and save consumables;

5.Highly automated, reduces human error, and has high stability;

6.UV rubber rollers come standard with high-quality rollers from Japan;

7.Thermostatic water tank can be optionally equipped with hot and cold thermostatic water tanks;
