Amazon Filters launch the SupaPleat Plus Ink for Digital Ink Production

Amazon Filters, one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of filtration products, are pleased to announce the launch of their SupaPleat Plus Ink range.

The SupaPleat Plus Ink range has been developed through close collaboration with manufacturers of bulk Digital Ink. When used in conjunction with SupaSpun Depth and SupaPore Pleated products it provides a comprehensive solution for all ink formulations.

As these formulations become more complex and specifications on cleanliness increase to prevent blockage of modern print heads, the demands on filtration performance has never been greater.

The new SupaPore Pleat Ink range combines highly efficient removal of microgels and defined dispersion classification with high flowrates and low pressure drops. This is achieved through a hybrid construction of pleated and depth technology in the same filter.

Nine different media configurations including PP/GF combinations ensure a cost-effective solution is available for every ink formulation. Amazon can provide the full range of SupaPleat Plus Ink filters in small scale format suitable for filterability testing on sample volumes as low as 200ml.

Product Features:

  • High-loft melt blown depth media provides superior retention of gels that can block fine nozzles on print head
  • Multi layered media of varying efficiency provides excellent dispersion classification, maximising colour intensity
  • Rigid open pleat configuration maximises flow and throughput on more viscous inks to lower consumable costs
  • Absolute filter ratings provide a guarantee of ink quality to maximise print head performance
  • Available in small scale format for laboratory trials

David Ridealgh, Market Development Specialist at Amazon Filters, said:

“This product is a result of many months of iterative work by our New Product Development team and the customer. We are delighted that the implementation of this filter has improved the ink quality at the manufacturer and resolved the inconsistent jetting issues at the printers. We believe by continuing to work closely with our customers on new leading edge ink developments we can unsure that any new filtration challenges are addressed before any process problems occur.”
