Bulk fluid system for Videojet Technologies 1000 Line continuous ink jet printers

Videojet Technologies has announced a five litre bulk fluid system (BFS) for its 1000 Line continuous ink jet printers. The BFS is suitable for users running high-volume print applications such as bottle and can, as well as wire, cable and pipe production lines.

According to the company, the BFS means fewer cartridges to change, giving users longer runtimes and less intervention with their Videojet continuous ink jet printers.

The Videojet BFS accessory is a large-capacity bulk fluid container for ink or make-up that can easily integrate into many continuous ink jet printers including: 1610, 1620, 1610DH, 1520 and 1710 (make-up only). The BFS is available as an upgrade to existing equipment or as a standard option for new continuous ink jet printers.

Mounted anywhere within one metre from the ink jet printer, the BFS has a needle and septum design that keeps fluid replenishment clean and simple. The Smart Cartridge design makes the system easy to use. Once inserted, the printer reads an embedded microchip on the bulk container to verify it is the proper fluid type and has not passed its expiration date. Production line operators can enjoy the benefits of a bulk system without the risks of contamination or mismatching fluids.
