Degassing Module for Ink-jet Ink
DIC hollow fiber membrane is suitable for degassing of ink-jet ink;
Preventing ink from passing through the hollow fiber membrane, allowing only gas to pass through.
[ Characteristics ]
- Optimal Structure for Degassing from Ink-jet Ink. (DIC Hollow Fiber Membrane)
- Wide Range of Product Line-up Meet Various Requirements.
The Necessity of Degassing for Ink-jet Ink
In the printhead, ink is pressurized or depressurized repeatedly. And dissolved gasses change to small bubbles.
In consequence,
- Air bubbles block nozzles and ink doesn't jet.
- Air bubbles weaken the pressure of piezoelectric and ink doesn't jet straight.
→ Degassing is needed to resolve these problems.
* Degassing efficiency is dependent on the size of gas-liquid interfacial area. Because our degassing modules using hollow fibers have large interfacial area, it becomes possible to degass very efficiently.

- *1: Not all solvent are available for these degassing modules. When you flow solvent, we recommend to check the compatibility between the ink and our products.
- * For solvent-based jet ink, SEPAREL PF-F series are also available.
