DIGITAL PRINT
You print, We dry
Why use RF for the drying of ink?
Currently, at the state-of-the-art digital printers, the printing equipment is designed for high-speed printing capacity, where the potential is directly bonded and limited only by the efficiency of the dryers. The result is an inefficient pair that matches a high-end technological and expensive printing machine with an inefficient, slow and obsolete dryer.
Why are conventional methods not as efficient as RF?
Currently different technologies are used for the drying of ink, but all of them, even if applied efficiently, have to face different handicaps:
- Forced hot air dryers: they are the most common equipment used for the drying of ink on digital printing applications. The heating involves the use of a high rate of electric energy for the generation of power through electric resistors or the use of gas burners. Environmental impact is the highest with thermal dispersion, slow and uneven drying that makes the equipment bulky and expensive to run.
- Infrared rays and ultraviolet rays dryers: IR and UV waves are not able to dry efficiently through the whole mass of the ink; the drying is only processed efficiently on the surface of the product. It involves a higher thermal dispersion through the environment and thermal stress to the ink; the drying is uneven since the absorption of the radiation is affected by the colors of the ink in the visible spectrum
The FLUX Advantage
Low consumption and 100% Fully electric technology
The overall efficiency of the process is 2 to 3 times higher that conventional Infrared/Hot air/Gas technology. With an evaporation rate of 1,5Lt/hour of water for every Kw of RF power FLUX technology is the most efficient and money-saving method for the drying of ink.
No changes in colors and low thermal stress
The water extraction process involves a very mild and insignificant thermal transfer to the product and external environment, the transfer of the energy is provided with surgical precision to the water molecules only
No emissions or polluting products
The technology is 100% electric and Carbon Free, does not require any filtering systems, environmental control nor use of disposable sources of power
High thermal efficiency, low environmental heating and elimination of preparation time
The drying of water based ink is processed instantly with RF, with negligible thermal losses and without any preparation or pre-heating time
