PFA Coating for Ink Pans | Prevents Ink Adhesion & Reduces Color Change Time
【Reduction of cleaning labor for the printing line】Prevents ink adhesion with excellent release properties and liquid repellency! Dramatically shortens the time for color change operations.
This is a technical case of applying a fluororesin PFA coating to a metal "ink pan" used for gravure printing machines, such as those for package printing and film printing, where liquid printing ink is stored. The coating process is uniformly and smoothly applied to the bottom and sides of the ink pan, including the rounded corners and areas near the drain outlet. **Purpose of the Coating** In an environment where printing inks containing various solvents, pigments, and resin components are constantly in contact, the coating provides top-tier "non-stick" properties and "water and oil repellency." It prevents ink stains from adhering, contributing to improved operational efficiency and quality stability in the printing process. **Main Benefits of Implementation** ■ Reduction of setup change time (downtime) Residual ink does not adhere to the surface, allowing for smooth wiping and recovery during frequent color changes. ■ Decrease in cleaning labor and solvent usage To prevent sticking, scrubbing during cleaning is no longer necessary. The amount of cleaning organic solvents (such as thinners) is significantly reduced, achieving cost savings and improving the work environment. ■ Prevention of foreign matter contamination It prevents "skinning" caused by the drying and peeling of inks from previous processes, aiming to enhance product quality and improve yield.
