SELEVISCO 9000 VISCOSITY CONTROL SYSTEM

VISCOSITY CONTROL SYSTEM FOR INKS, GLUES AND VARNISHES

The SELEVISCO 9000 viscosity control system has been specifically engineered for controlling flexographic and rotogravure inks, varnishes as well as many adhesives.

The SELEVISCO 9000 systems measure and correct fluids viscosity. The system operates through a measuring head placed in line with the flow, a control panel for the display and regulation of the rheological characteristics, and, additionally, multiple accessories which complete the system’s operativity.

Thanks to a precise comparative logic, the programmed viscosity value and the measured one are compared and the diluent quantity necessary to fix the error is added automatically. It is also possible to perform a manual measuring by receiving the viscosity value directly from the system.

Selevisco 9000 has been designed to be installed on production lines; therefore it is not a viscometer for laboratory tests.

Fast Facts

  • The SELEVISCO 9000 viscosity control system can control an ample spectrum of fluids, from ink and varnishes to more viscous substances such as glues and adhesives.
  • The viscosity controller ensures an elevated measuring accuracy.
  • Can be personalized and adjusted based on your needs.
  • Able to read the viscosity value even while the fluids are in motion.
  • Complete with a temperature control to correct the temperature according to its variation.
  • Requires minimum maintenance.
  • Can be integrated in a system for the management of automatic washing cycles.
  • The viscometer is versatile and can be installed in line with the fluid to be measured, or offline, inside tanks or containers.

Key Benefits

Flexography

Installation of the inline vibrating sensor

The measuring head is protected by an extremely resistant capsule of small dimensions, integrating proper anchoring arrangements in limited spaces. The application is normally suggested between the pumping system and the chamber doctor blade or the ink tray.

Rotogravure

Installation of the offline vibrating sensor

Based on the vibrating technology, the offline sensor is installed directly into the tank, granting a better ease of use. The offline sensor is easy to clean and resistant to chemical corrosion thanks to its Teflon coating protection.

Corrugated Cardboard

Operator friendly

The managing software allows data recording on recipes, allowing for setup and operational reputability. The data displaying and the controls are incorporated into the individual synoptics for each measuring unit. Alternatively, the measuring head can be connected to the touch screen operational interface, based on a Windows platform.

Lamination and Coating

Outstanding Precision

Granting an outstanding reading tolerance. The system integrates a temperature and pH control (option). Minimum maintenance, the absence of moving elements eliminates the necessity of frequent maintenance.
