Fluid Management

  • Minimize user interaction.
  • Operate multi-weeks/months between adding fluids.
  • Large fluid operating capacities.
  • Environment friendly.
  • On-the-fly external ink filling, accomplished in less than a minute with no waste, allows refilling without stopping the production line.

At the core of EcoTec™ are the proprietary ink tank, reduced cycle pump and twin trap condensing unit purpose designed for CIJ Technology. The ink tank is designed to last the life of the system, eliminating the need to replace at regular intervals. The reduced cycle pump extends pump life and in combination with TempSense™ lowers the fluid operating temperature resulting in lower evaporation rates. The twin trap condensing unit provides two direct drain vapor traps to condense vapors back to usable fluid.
