Viscosity display

  • The controller LED display is large, bright and easy to read.
  • Viscosity is displayed in cup-seconds.



Principle

These viscosity controller systems are controlled by sensing viscosity through the loads placed on the diaphragm pump.

(The evaporation of solvent in the tank causes the liquid viscosity to thicken.)
As the liquid viscosity thickens, the load on the pump is also increased. Then the pump cycle is getting slow.


1. The system detects the diaphragm pump pulse times that the liquid is circulating through.
Viscosity Present Value is displayed.
Set up this value as the upper limit.
5. The Viscosity Present Value returns the beginning value.

2. The liquid viscosity thickens and the load on the diaphragm pump is increased.
Then Viscosity Present Value becomes higher.

3. The solenoid value will open and feed the solvent after it catches the electric signal from the sensor.
4. The sensor detects that Viscosity Present Value is getting small by pump air exhaust.





Examples of installation

We are explaining how to install in case of using Inks by the following illustrations. But if you would like to use

1. Direct Circulation


 2. Circulation through ink-tank


 3. Circulation through ink-tank with using circulating pump
