Fount Filtration
As
standard, all MGE dampening circulators are fitted with dual-layer compostite
filter bags which provide excellent protection against foaming and filter
out particle impurities from the fount solution.
The FountXtend filtration system (FX-1) has been specifically designed to
work in conjunction with these bags and further prolong the life of the fount
solution by removing finer particles and contaminates using a 3 stage filter
system.
Results have shown that using this system has increased the life of the fount
solution by up to 6 times, minimising chemical usage and greatly reducing
waste disposal and its associated costs, meaning that systems often pay for
themselves within a few months.
Central to the system is a self-priming pump that continually circulates the
fount solution through 3 different filter processes. A gauge shows the condition
of the filters and indicates when they need to be changed. In the event of
a filter becoming blocked, the system will automatically cut out and an indicator
light will come on.
The system runs independantly of press and circulator, so continues to clean
even when the press is off-line. In addition, the pump has a run dry capability
in case the fount is drained whilst the system is left running.
Key Benefits
* Reduction
in consumable costs due to lower chemical and alcohol usage.
* Reduction in
waste disposal costs for contaminated dampening solution.
* Cleaner fount solution leading to less press downtime for cleaning.
* Improved dampening solution stability for consistent print quality.
* Reduced impact on the environment due to less waste disposal.
* Standard voltages shown - other electrical
specifications available on request.
* MGE can offer tailored solutions to exactly match customer requirements.
