The compatibility between ink pumps and printer inks is a focal point of concern for printer manufacturers. The compatibility of ink pumps mainly refers to the mutual adaptation and matching degree between the ink pump and the ink being used in terms of physical, chemical, and operational performance. This not only directly affects the quality of printing but also influences the operational efficiency and long-term stability of the equipment. Poor compatibility can lead to subpar printing results, such as color distortion, blurry images, or streaking, and may even cause equipment malfunctions, such as pump body corrosion, seal failure, ink leakage, etc., thereby significantly increasing maintenance costs, reducing production efficiency, and possibly shortening the lifespan of the equipment.Specifically, compatibility covers the following aspects:

Chemical Compatibility

Market Pain Points:

Common types of printer inks on the market include aqueous inks, solvent-based inks, UV-curable inks, and so on. The materials of the ink pump (such as the pump body, seals, bearings, etc.) need to be able to resist the erosion from various chemical components in the ink (such as solvents, pigments, additives, etc.), without causing corrosion of the pump material, reduced efficiency, or shortened lifespan due to chemical reactions.

When selecting pump materials, the chemical properties of the ink must be considered, such as pH value, solvent type, and whether it contains corrosive substances. For special inks, like UV-curable inks and solvent-based inks, particular attention should be paid to the chemical resistance of the pump materials.

opsflo Solutions:

Topsflo provides customized material selection solutions based on different application conditions of customers. The pump head material of the diaphragm pump can be selected from PA, PP, PPS, etc., which have characteristics such as high and low-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high mechanical strength, and good processing performance. Diaphragm materials can be chosen from EPDM or PTFE, while valve materials can be selected from EPDM, FKM, or FFKM, all of which offer excellent chemical resistance, temperature resistance, and electrical properties with wide application ranges. For pigment inks, YT alloy gear pumps are mainly used, and for dye inks, PEEK gears can be utilized.

All these materials undergo strict screening and use internationally renowned top-tier brands, with their material performance, quality, reliability, and batch consistency far exceeding those of ordinary materials, allowing Doppler pumps to exhibit higher performance, maintaining high corrosion resistance and wear resistance even in extreme environments, and precisely meeting the specific needs of customers.
