About

Sajo’s Ink Can Dispenser is a press frame mounted dispenser allowing printers to automatically pump ink into the ink fountain using existing ink cans. The Can Dispenser allows printers to pump UV, UV LED or conventional ink from their existing 5 – 10 pound (2.5 to 5.0 kg.) plastic or metal ink cans or the larger 2 gallon – 5 gallon plastic pails directly into the ink fountain while maintaining an even and accurate ink distribution. Through the use of a stainless steel manifold over the fountain and an ultrasonic sensor, the ink level in the fountain is controlled to within ± .125”.

The Ink Can Dispenser mounts directly and easily to the press frame, sitting on top of the unit or attached to the side of the frame and includes a follower plate that can handle either straight or tapered wall cans or pails. The EPDM seal wipes the side walls clean as it lowers leaving under 1% ink waste.

Color changes, whether UV to conventional or between units, are simple and quick by easily moving the wet end component assembly (follower plate, hose and tube) through the use of a quick release pin and air hose and once removed the assembly can be transferred freely.

With the follower plate in place the wet end assembly seals the ink from the elements allowing the ink can to remain in the Dispenser indefinitely. As the ink is consumed, an indicator light shows full, low or empty can status at all times minimizing chances of a fountain running dry.
