Tubing for Printing and Inks
The problem: Current alternatives are unreliable for pumping inks that contain a wide range of chemistries
Many inks used in consumer and industrial printing applications contain harsh solvents, some of which are not suitable for contact with a diaphragm pump’s wet components. These fluids can cause problems such as an increase in waste of high value inks and ultimately printer downtime.
The solution: Long lasting peristaltic pump tubing that is reliable, delivers a consistent flow of ink to the print head and is compatible with a broad spectrum of ink chemistries
GORE® High-Resilience Pump Tubing is superior in performance to other available tubing materials. Gore tubing stands up to a wide variety of chemicals found in inks and provides stable flow rates and pressure over its extended life. The result is consistent fluid transfer management and maximum printer uptime.
