KNF Pumps Enable High Performance Inkjet Systems

In the rapidly evolving world of inkjet printing, the demand for reliable fluid management solutions is growing. Megnajet, as a fluid management system specialist, has consistently risen to the challenge. At the heart of their innovative ink supply solutions, KNF pumps ensure exceptionally smooth and reliable operation. 

Inkjet Technology: Revolutionizing Printing Across Industries 

Inkjet technology has had a profound impact on the printing industry, providing versatile and efficient solutions for a wide range of applications. From packaging and product labeling to the precise printing on 3D objects, inkjet printers have made their mark in many fields, and the technology continues to push the boundaries of what can be printed. 

Fluid management systems, which are responsible for controlling and regulating the flow of fluids such as inks and coatings during the printing process, play a key role in this technology. They ensure that fluids are delivered at the correct flow rate, temperature and pressure, resulting in precise and consistent print quality and efficient fluid recirculation. 

Cutting-Edge Printing Solutions by Megnajet 

As experts in the design and manufacture of fluid management systems, Megnajet provides state-of-the-art printing solutions for a wide range of industries and applications – including additive manufacturing, graphics, packaging, textiles and ceramics. With a comprehensive product line, they offer industrial fluid management systems that enable OEMs and integrators to incorporate reliable and precise fluid control into their inkjet applications, enabling high-speed printing with exceptional accuracy and image quality.  

At the heart of Megnajet's systems, KNF diaphragm pumps are used for a variety of tasks, including ink supply and recirculation, meniscus and differential pressure control, degassing and purging. The successful partnership between KNF and the wider Xaar Group goes back 20 years. Since then, KNF pumps have been integrated into Megnajet’s renowned CIMS II (Compact Ink Management System), HV (High Viscosity) and RackFit products. 

Introducing JetSource Technology 

To meet industry’s growing demand for high volume fluid ejection, Megnajet’s latest JetSource HFR Core fluid management system provides precise and reliable ink delivery for high-flow industrial inkjet printing applications. It optimises ink flow, minimises clogging and ensures consistent print quality. By integrating advanced monitoring and control technology, the system delivers efficiency and productivity with large volumes of conditioned fluid at the right flow rate and pressure. 

Megnajet’s latest JetSource technology can recirculate fluid at rates of up to four liters per minute through up to five independent printhead ports. This high-performance system excels at handling a wide variety of inks and fluid management tasks by delivering a large volume of conditioned fluid at the precise flow rate, temperature and pressure required for efficient jetting or multi-head setups. This makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, including print embellishment, braille, gloss effects, coatings, adhesives, and high-productivity additive manufacturing. In addition, Megnajet’s JetSource system is very responsive to changes in print duty, providing stable pressure control even when ejecting large volumes of fluid.
