Committed To Quality, Committed To You
Ballpoint pens are a ubiquitous writing instrument, used by millions of people around the world every day. They feature an oil-based ink with a fine ball bearing as a dispensing mechanism. The ink used in these pens is a crucial component, as it must be able to flow smoothly from the pen tip onto the paper without smudging or bleeding.
While they are produced in large quantities across the globe, the competitive market demands ink producers to make the best quality ink in order to compete. And we, at Galaxy Sivtek, offer a wide range of high-vibrating screening machines and filters ideal to achieve that.
But before getting into that, let’s understand how ballpoint inks are manufactured.
Ballpoint ink is typically made up of a mixture of dyes or pigments, solvents, and resins. The exact formulation can vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific type of pen. The production of ballpoint ink involves several stages, including mixing, milling, filtering, and filling.
Here’s an overview of the ballpoint ink production process:
Overall, the screening process is an important step in ensuring the quality and performance of ballpoint ink. By removing any impurities or particles that could affect the ink’s flow or consistency, manufacturers can produce ink that performs consistently and reliably, even under a variety of different conditions.
Hence, a good screening and filtration machine is essential for producing high-quality ink in the manufacturing process. And that’s where our ingenious machines come to play.
Here are a few ways in which our vibro sifters and filters can help you enhance your production:
For ink production industries, Galaxy Sivtek’s vibro sifters provide a powerful solution to improve raw material purity. These sifters remove impurities and foreign particles from pigment mixtures, ensuring consistent, high-quality end products. These sifters boost production line efficiency by producing cleaner and purer raw materials.
Our vibro screening machines deliver precise gradation results for your production needs. They can efficiently separate up to five different levels of particle gradations in a single operation, giving you control over the texture of the finished product. While conventional filter can only achieve filtration of 45-50 ppm, our self-cleaning filters can filter particles up to 20-25 ppm.
Our screening and filtration machines feature a unique filter control system, with a modified PLC box that controls pneumatic cylinders and actuators. The “Set & Be Free” feature allows users to control cleaning disks and purging chamber valves, enabling precise calibration of filters for dairy products. This feature is embedded in our self-cleaning filters and gyratory machines, setting them apart from conventional machines.
Our range of vibro sifters and self-cleaning filters are designed to reduce operational costs. They optimize resource utilization, increase screening accuracy, and produce enriched end products. The automatic self-cleaning process eliminates the need for manual labor, reducing expenses. Reduced power consumption further reduces operating costs. These cost-effective solutions enhance the filtration process for food processing industries.
Food manufacturers often face production capacity reduction due to intensive cleaning of filters. Galaxy Sivtek’s vibratory screening machines and self-cleaning filters solve this challenge with their ingeniously designed, easy-to-assemble and disassemble parts. The mesh-changing process is simplified with reliable, easy-to-disconnect clamps, reducing overall maintenance time. This enables efficient processing of raw materials without removing machine parts.
Understanding the challenges posed by ink production and the dynamic industry, we present these screening and filtration machines that will drastically improve your production process. They will not only help you improve the quality of your ink, but will also enhance your efficiency and output limits.
Galaxy Sivtek’s SIVTEK Vibro Separator is a highly efficient screening machine that can sieve all types of materials, making it ideal for paint production processes such as scalping, de-dusting, and gradation settings.
Its strategically placed vibratory motors provide circular motion and greater productivity, resulting in even distribution of pigments being screened, allowing for faster screening. This becomes very advantageous in bulk screening.
The SIVTEK Vibro Separator is a reliable and cost-effective solution for all types of sieving requirements. Its smooth and secure operating experience makes it an optimum vibro separator machine. Its woven mesh embedded in the vibrating sieve ensures a longer lifespan without any downtime.
This gyro separator offers numerous benefits, such as significantly increasing the screening capacity and providing five different gradations in a single operation. With a diverse range of add-ons, this versatile machine can be transformed into various modes of application.
When it comes to filtering your ink mixture, there is nothing more powerful than the SIVTEK Self-Cleaning Filter. It is a powerful and efficient filtration system for ink mixtures. This automatic filter is designed to eliminate suspended and unwanted particles in the substance through an automatic, continuous filtering process based on Delta P’s principle.
It can effectively strain liquid substances ranging from watery applications to highly viscous substances. Unlike conventional self-cleaning strainers, it has the capacity for continuous processing 24×7 without the need to change the filters. This is made possible by the pneumatic actuators that power the cleaning disk, which collects and cleans the solid particles accumulated in the mesh basket.
With its innovative design and superior filtration capabilities, it is an ideal choice for businesses seeking an efficient and cost-effective solution for ink production and filtration.
The Sivtek Roto Sifter is a centrifugal sifter designed to screen low bulk-density particles such as powders and granules, making it ideal for ink production. Its cantilever design enables efficient sifting while maintaining hygiene, with beater bars creating centrifugal force to separate materials by particle size.
The beater bars on the screener create centrifugal force, separating the screening material based on particle size. Furthermore, the cantilever design of the machine helps maintain a hygienic environment, reduces sound emissions to less than 80 decibels, and minimizes power consumption without creating any additional vibrations.
The machine is available with screens in four different sizes, allowing for greater flexibility in controlling the final product. With a concealed and compact design, the Roto Sifter offers dust-free operation and 360-degree rotation for easy inspection.
The Inline Sivtek Double Motor Separator is an advanced version of inline vibro sifters that offer superior screening performance. The machine features two vertically mounted motors that provide higher output capacity and faster sieving of fine pigment particles. Its unique 3D motion allows the material to move in a circular motion, increasing throughput.
The machine’s compact design, with the inlet and material discharge outlet placed at the centerline, reduces screening time and the movement of screening material. The bottom outlet placed directly underneath the top inlet reduces the minimum height requirement, making it more compact.
The Inline Sivtek Double Motor Separator is designed for easy maintenance and disassembly, with easily removable gyro sieves for cleaning. It occupies less space and requires minimal manpower, leading to lower maintenance costs.
With its efficient and economical design, this machine is an excellent choice for businesses seeking to enhance their screening performance without compromising on space or maintenance costs.
The Vacuum Sivtek is a top-performing vacuum sieve that ensures safe, contained screening of paint pigments with excellent hygiene. This sifter uses a pneumatic screening process that seals the material in a closed system while conveying it through different processing stages.
This vacuum sieve has a central bypass chute that connects the top and bottom screens, enabling on-size materials to enter the central chamber via two pathways. The pneumatic sifter vibratory separator with dilute-phase pneumatic conveying systems allows in-line pneumatic scalping and dedusting of free-flowing pigments.
Made of high-quality stainless steel with levels ranging from SS 304 to SS 316L, Vacuum Sivtek ensures the safety and integrity of the ink pigments. Also, its self-loading sieve arrangement system makes it incredibly easy to operate.
