Ink Pump Motors for Eco and UV Machines

Ink Pump Motors for Eco and UV Machines

UV ink pumps are used to move the ink from the tank to the printhead and vice versa while keeping the temperature constant and avoiding pigment deposits.

Originally, UV ink printers were supported by pneumatic double membrane technology in their functioning, which was soon replaced by other types of more performing pumps, such as membrane pumps, diaphragm pumps, peristaltic pumps, and gear pumps.

Peristaltic pumps and most of all gear pumps offer:

• greater effectiveness

• dosing accuracy

• high speed

UV ink pumps are used to move the ink from the tank to the printhead and vice versa while keeping the temperature constant and avoiding pigment deposits on the printhead – thus causing clogging. The pump is also used to create pressure within the system.
