Low Ink Level Cap Assembly
DESCRIPTION: This is a device to adapt a 5 gallon Hedwin style pail to
an ink dispenser.
abm marking ltd and other ink manufactures supply ink jet ink in 5 gallon pails. Using this assembly allows the shipping pail to be used as the dispensing tank. It consists of a 70 mm pail cap fitted with a probe with a float switch, dip tube and quick disconnect fittings for ink and pressurizing air. The float switch can be used to activate an alarm when the ink level in the pail is almost exhausted. (Not for MEK type inks.)
- MARSH P951 equivalent - has separate quick disconnects with shutoff for air and ink. The electrical connector is a male four prong Cinch Plug.
- abm style has a dual quick disconnect (no shutoff) for air and ink that is the same as is used in the one gallon adaptor. The electrical connector is a standard audio type cable. Extensions cables are easy to find.
- DIAGRAPH 1901-917 equivalent - has separate quick disconnects with shutoff for air and ink. The electrical connector is an AMP plug.
Microjet Adaptor Kit
DESCRIPTION: A set of fittings to connect a one gallon
Cubetainer (Bag-In-A-Box) to a LOVESHAW LITTLE DAVID MICROJET Printer.
It consists of a cap with a twin tube coupling body, dip tube, two foot air line, and a two foot ink line each terminated with a push on barb union.
RECOMMENDED USES: The LITTLE DAVID MICROJET printer is equipped with a small one liter ink cartridge that is messy to replace and expensive. With this adaptor kit the customer can use a quality abm marking ltd ink jet ink packaged in a one gallon Bag-In-A-Box. With a one gallon external supply ink change is required only one fourth as often and is a much cleaner operation.
20 micron Disk Filter
DESCRIPTION: This is a ink line and/or air line filter of all polypropylene construction with a melt blown polypropylene filter element rated at 99% retention of particles greater than 20 micron. It may be used with any type of ink including those that are based on MEK solvent.
The filter is small in size, 25 mm barely larger than a 25 cent coin, and has quick disconnect luer lock fittings. Since luer couplings are available with various size barb fittings, the filters will fit any standard tubing. Using fittings with different size barbs on the male and female side allows a neat method of changing from one tubing size and adding filtration in one operation.
Two of these filters (one inside, one outside) are used with our AJET 101 ink jet printer.
RECOMMENDED USES: Order the filter with 1/16" luer fittings to add filtration to systems like the LOVESHAW LITTLE DAVID that use our MICROJET ADAPTOR KIT. To add an extra measure of filtration to larger systems using 5 gallon pails order a filter with 1/8" fittings for each line.
Air Compressor with Gauge and Regulator
DESCRIPTION: Most ink jet systems require that the ink supply be pressurized with compressed air in the 3 to 5 pounds per square inch range. This is below the range where most air compressors and regulators work efficiently and accurately.
This system consists of a Japanese Medo Brand Linear Motor Driven Free Piston compressor mounted in an aluminum case, fused, with air filter. A regulator designed for the low pressure ranges is mounted on the case. The regulator is equipped with a gauge with scale readings in both psi and bar. The output line is equipped with a luer quick connect fitting.
RECOMMENDED USES: Ink jet systems where factory air is not readily available and an adjustable air pressure supply is desired.
