MEGNAJET has announced an expansion of its JetSource product range with the development of a new fluid management system, which has been designed for wider multi-printhead inkjet applications.
To address the demands of OEMs and integrators for large-volume, high-duty applications, the firm explained that the new JetSource HFR features a two-litre fluid volume and an increased number of printhead inlets and outlets.
The ability to deliver a continuous supply of fluid is said to make the JetSource HFR suited to any high productivity, high duty printing, including label, web, roll-to-roll and scanning applications.
Following the launch of Megnajet’s JetSource Core system in 2023, which accommodates up to five independent fluid paths, the JetSource HFR can support six to eight, making it ‘ideal’ for users with bar-based systems or wider application requirements for up to four litres of recirculation.
With over 900 watts of heating power, Megnajet added that the JetSource HFR quickly reaches the desired temperature, ensuring fast startups. Dual heating and sensing features aim to ensure precise temperature regulation for consistent and high-quality printing regardless of duty cycle, while its bar-level internal bypass mode allows for the full fluid volume to be recirculated and heated throughout the full system.
Mike Seal, general manager at Megnajet, said, “We developed the JetSource HFR to address our customers’ needs for precise fluid control and conditioning for high-productivity applications. This therefore enables OEMs to focus on their core operations, without having to invest time and resources in developing their own systems.”
