What is The UV Ink Agitator?

Stainless Steel Design
The CMYK Distributors UV Ink Agitator is available in either a one or two piece design, and uses two stainless agitating arms that are specifically designed to not only agitate, but also push ink up against the roller.

Full Access to the Fountain
The agitating arms are stainless, are designed to be removed from the agitator bar in seconds, and require no gears or rack. The most apparent advantage to this new design is the versatility of the installation, enabling the bar to be positioned almost anywhere above, in front, or below the fountain, therefore allowing the pressman full access to the fountain at all times. The typical application for this design is with UV and conventional inks as well as metallic flex.

Forces the Ink Against the Roller
In addition to the versatility of bar location, another significant advantage to our arm design is it’s capacity to force ink up against the fountain roller on every pass. More and more printers are having issues with ink separation from the roller, and this new design completely eliminates this problem. Another advantage is the flexibility of the stainless steel arms, allowing the customer to tweak and move the arms to the desired positions as per their needs.

Safest Ink Agitator on the Market
The heart of the CMYK UV Ink Agitator is a patented, roles double band pneumatic cylinder. The inner sealing band creates a tight metal-to-metal seal, while the outer band keeps ink and dust away from the sealing band. This low profile agitator (2″ x 2″) requires no electricity, includes a speed controller, and is designed with the pressman’s safety in mind. Should anything interfere with the movement of the agitating carrier bracket, it will simply reverse direction, preventing any potential accident. Agitator arms remove in seconds for easy cleaning.
