Miniature Valve, Big Impact: Reliable Inkjet Performance Made Easy
Compact size, superior repeatability & reliability, and extended lifecycle with IMI 10mm Picosol valve.
Facing issues with ink clogging, poor printing quality and printer failure?
In the realm of inkjet printing, achieving precision within a compact space is a significant technical challenge. An inkjet printer manufacturer wanted compact, high-performance solenoid valves to ensure precise ink control in printer systems. Reliable operation, long lifespan, and minimal dead volume are critical to maintaining top print quality, especially for food, beverage, and packaging applications. To meet these demands, printer OEMs look for media-separated valve designs that can handle tough environments while delivering consistent accuracy and durability.
IMI 10mm Picosol valve is your solution
By developing a media-separated design, the new valve enhances performance, reduces maintenance costs, and ensures reliable operation with aggressive inks.
Superior performance with miniature size
IMI Picosol valve is well-known for its robustness, superior precision & accuracy performance and long life expectancy over 10 million cycles. Moreover, the media-separated design helps prevent ink clogging and therefore lower maintenance requirements and further extend printer life. The 10mm miniature size helps printer OEMs further reduce printer size.
Compatibility with MEK-based inks
Bespoke elements are included changing key components like seals to ensure compatibility with MEK-based inks.
Minimal internal dead volume
This helps reduce ink consumption and improve printer performance.
Strong collaboration with customers
The development journey began with the PICOSOL valve platform. The engineering approach has been based on co-design, prototyping, and iterations, starting from existing proven solutions in the IMI range and adapting them to meet new customer expectations. IMI has rich experience in inkjet printing and is capable of design and manufacturing customised solutions based on inkjet customer needs..
