Megnajet has launched JetSource HFR Core, a new fluid management system designed to meet the challenges of high-volume, inkjet printing and additive manufacturing applications.

Developed in response to the increasing industry demand for jetting large volumes of fluid, Megnajet’s latest fluid management system recirculates fluid at up to four litres each minute across up to five independent ports for printheads. In addition, the JetSource incorporates a system architecture said to minimise any restrictions and enable peak flow rates to be achieved, ‘thereby maintaining print system productivity.’ JetSource HFR Core is suited to a range of applications, from labelling and packaging embellishments, special varnish effects and Braille, to high-build 3D printing (additive manufacturing).

The company stated, ‘This innovation in inkjet fluid management systems helps OEMs and integrators to overcome the common challenges in jetting large volumes of fluids.’

Mike Seal, general manager at Megnajet, said, ‘We’re delighted to launch the JetSource HFR Core as it meets the growing demand to precisely and accurately control large volumes of fluid across high productivity printheads. JetSource will help our customers to access the many opportunities of high-volume inkjet applications, delivering print quality that is essential to their success, while saving them time, effort and resources in having to develop their own standalone solution.’

Others features of the JetSource HFR Core fluid management system are: optimised tank volumes, for continuous availability of conditioned fluids and with a dual heating and sensing system providing precise temperature regulation for jetting; pressure stabilisation, with a compressed air venturi system able to react quickly and accurately to deliver high quality print regardless of the duty cycle; and simplified integration with existing systems, due to a compact footprint and possibility to customise the system to suit specific fluid types.

‘The launch of the JetSource HFR Core opens up the opportunity for OEMs to take advantage of the benefits of high productivity printheads and printbar-based architecture, without having to invest in developing their own solution,’ the company concluded.
