New fluid management system from Megnajet improves printing with highly viscous inks

Megnajet has launched OmniFlo, its latest fluid management system designed to meet the challenges of jetting highly viscous fluids or those with high particle loading.

Developed from extensive customer feedback, the OmniFlo’s patented non-mechanical vortex chamber makes it ideal for ensuring consistent and reliable fluid conditioning across scanning, single-pass and multi-axis inkjet applications.

“We are delighted to launch Megnajet’s latest fluid management system, the OmniFlo,” says Mike Seal, General Manager at Megnajet. “With a wide range of fluid management systems in our portfolio, we have introduced the OmniFlo to meet the growing demands of users jetting highly viscous, complex fluids. “Whether it’s high opacity whites in labelling, glass frits in ceramics, high viscosity fluids in Advanced Manufacturing or aqueous fluids for textile applications, the new OmniFlo system delivers the control, quality and consistency OEMs and inkjet technology integrators demand.”

OmniFlo’s reliability, ease of use, and precise control enable users to access a much wider range of fluids than was previously possible. The system’s high-quality print and part jetting make it ideal for applications in textiles, labelling, graphics, additive manufacturing, ceramic tile, and glass printing industries.

Megnajet says the system is easily integrated and operated with an intuitive user interface and a modular architecture for simple integration and start-up. The closed system provides fluid homogeneity and reduces agglomeration, driving consistency and avoiding costly maintenance or potential printhead damage.

The OmniFlo’s independent control of meniscus pressure, flow rate and temperature perfectly conditions fluids for output. With pressure and temperature sensors and heaters positioned close to the printhead, any deviations in conditions are responded to quickly. The fluid management system’s damped diaphragm pumps also allow printheads to achieve a consistently high print quality with a pulse-free fluid flow, ensuring absolute control of drop formation.
