Ink Viscosity Controls and Ink Conditioning Systems

Junior VC

Viscosity Control

Control type Junior VC from Opti-Color offers an easy to use solution to  control the viscosity of liquids measured by OBD or MTD sensors. Without doubt the easiest way to achieve fully automatic viscosity control.

A standard set consists of a control box as shown, an OBD-dipsensor and a  dosing valve.

Options like enlarged frontplate and individual scalings are available.

  • Analogue control with +/- or digital display of actual value and setpoint
  • Adjustment of setpoint with potentiometer or press button
  • Easy to install and operate
  • Control box suitablefor either wall mounting or panel installation
  • Valve control exit for solvent/water supply to control the viscosity

OBD Rotating Dip Sensors

Accurate viscosity measurement

Accurate viscosity measurement is done with the Opti-Color OBD rotating dip  sensors. These units are tried and tested over many years!
The way of installation with a simple drilling in the main tank guarantees  for flexibility and will ensure easy maintenance and cleaning if necessary.

  • Rotating dip sensors for direct tank usage or in combination with bypass  installation
  • Easy to install, to maintain and to operate
  • High accuracy by specially designed motor in explosion proof housing
  • Supported cleaning with optional sensor quivers made of stainless steel

Falling Ball Sensors

Ink viscosity falling balls sensors

Falling ball sensors from Opti-Color can be used in bypass installation with existing machine pumps or as a stand-alone  circulation unit with oc-pumps for permanent control.The measurement is done with highest accuracy, the measuring cycles are  adjustable. The new sensor ViskoStar fits in best manner to automatic  Auto-Clean systems at printing stations.

The control: Central and optimized:

Multiplex FK
systems are used in combination with the opti-color falling  ball sensors and are able to control up to 8 stations plus optionally  rotating sensor i.e. for coating stations.

The new generation of type Junior Dual FKS allows  to equip also single stations in an economic way.

  • Fully digital control with extensive software and numerous adjustable  parameters
  • Scaling functions for best setting even with problematic or new inks and  liquids
  • RS-232, printer interface, oc-net functions, oc-3000 and oc-4000 software
  • Multiplex FK units for use with 8 (9) sensors via only one control box
  • Option: Temperature and pH-control channels

Test Cups

Viscosity values and control

Test cups: A good start for many and various applications, are used to get initial information about  viscosity values. Opti-Color supplies test cups in various designs / standards for use in  production and labs.

  • OC-test cups, form as DIN 53211 with handle, nozzles 2 - 8 mm
  • Test Cups refer FORD, ZAHN and Shell with several nozzles
  • ISO 2431 and DIN 53211 test cups with overflow and tripod .... and more
  • Viscosity test oils for checks and calibrations of opti-color viscosity controls.
