The new JetSource HFR features a two-litre fluid volume and an increased number of printhead inlets and outlets
Megnajet has expanded its high-volume JetSource product range with the development of a new fluid management system, specifically designed for even wider multi-printhead inkjet applications.
To address the demands of OEMs and integrators for large-volume, high-duty applications, the new JetSource HFR features a two-litre fluid volume and an increased number of printhead inlets and outlets to maximise productivity. The ability to deliver a continuous supply of fluid makes the new system ideal for any high productivity, high duty printing, including label, web, roll-to-roll and scanning applications.
Megnajet’s JetSource Core system, launched in 2023, can handle up to five separate fluid paths. Building on this, the new JetSource HFR offers even more capacity, supporting six to eight fluid paths. This increased capability makes the HFR particularly well-suited for bar-based systems or wider application requirements for up to 4 litres of recirculation.
With over 900 watts of heating power, the JetSource HFR quickly reaches the desired temperature, ensuring fast startups. Its dual heating and sensing features ensure precise temperature regulation for consistent, high-quality printing regardless of duty cycle and its bar-level internal bypass mode allows for the full fluid volume to be recirculated and heated throughout the full system. Maintaining reliability, the new system provides precise pressure stabilisation and fast response to changes in print duty. This is achieved with the venturi meniscus control used across the range, ensuring consistency when ejecting large volumes of fluid.
The launch of Megnajet’s JetSource Core and the new JetSource HFR fluid management system allows OEMs to harness the benefits of high-productivity printheads and printbar-based architecture.
“We developed the JetSource HFR to address our customers’ needs for precise fluid control and conditioning for high-productivity applications,” Mike Seal, General Manager at Megnajet, stated. “This therefore enables OEMs to focus on their core operations, without having to invest time and resources in developing their own systems.”
