Xaar has launched Sure Flow, a new ultrasonic self-cleaning mode for its recirculating inkjet printheads.
Sure Flow enables users to clear and prevent nozzle blockages without the need to remove the printhead, ‘maximising operational print time for optimum productivity,’ according to Xaar. Enabled by software, users simply activate the mode as required by adjusting the settings and loading a command file. This drives each channel to work at maximum power and frequency to create ultrasonic waves that produce controlled vibrations of the channel walls without pausing production or the need to remove the printhead.
Xaar stated Sure Flow as a tool, ‘to help users keep their print at its very best, and without the need to remove the printhead at any stage during the process.’
It has been developed in collaboration with a number of Xaar customers and been tested in real-world operations, worldwide.
Graham Tweedale, general manager of Xaar’s printhead business, commented, ‘By minimising downtime and maintenance, Sure Flow can provide users with unrivalled reliability and enhanced productivity across the Xaar recirculating printhead range.’
He concluded, ‘Sure Flow is the latest development from Xaar that continues our focus on delivering practical innovation for our customers, helping them keep their print at its very best in even the harshest environments.’
All Xaar recirculating printhead users are invited to contact their representative or use the Xaar Community to gain access to the new Sure Flow mode.
