Ink Pumps and Pump / Tank Systems

The pump and motor are the heart of the system. The correct combination is defined by the press, plumbing and operating demands. Graymills has a pump and motor for virtually every press requirement.

Ink Filter (HFST)

Ink Filters / Surge Suppressors and Cartridges

Superior Construction
  1. Lid designed with recessed seat and pressure ridge for positive gasket seal. Other companies cut corners and use flat sealing surfaces that are prone to leaks and blowouts.
  2. Large, easy-to-grasp metal wing nuts threaded on stainless studs hold up to the rigors of daily pressroom use, unlike plastic components on competitive units. Blind threads eliminate dried ink build-up which can interfere with easy operation.
  3. Teflon® coated inside and out. Repels ink for easy cleaning. Will not peel, unlike nylon coatings on competitors’ filters.
  4. Magnet suspended over inlet port disperses ink through filter cartridge while removing ferrous particles. megaMAG also available, see below.
  5. Stainless steel filter cartridge fits into inlet to assure all ink passes through filter screen without any blow-by. Fluted filter screen increases filtration capacity.
  6. Can mount directly or in-line with ink pump discharge. Self draining.

Ink Mixer (MX2-GAM)

Air-Powered Mixers

 (7)
Unlike centrifugal pumps, diaphragm and peristaltic ink pumps do not promote circulation and ink blending in the container. Inks and coatings are prone to separation and stagnation if not circulated in their container. Providing circulation maintains the ink the way it was blended to achieve the required color. Graymills air motor mixers are the answer, with sizes to fit containers from 2 to 55 gallons.

For use with peristaltic and diaphragm pumps to provide in-tank mixing to keep pigments, solvents and additives evenly blended and your viscosity more even. Mixer depth is the distance from the mounting surface of the mixer to the bottom of the propeller.

Filter Lid Mount

megaMag™ Filter Magnets

 (4)
A rare earth magnet in a smooth stainless steel casing, with 10x the pulling power of a standard magnet, megaMAG is able to attract metal particles from within the filter body or ink tank. megaMAG provides a level of protection never before available. megaMAG can save the time required to pull a damaged anilox roll out of service and replace it, as well as the high cost of repair. Unlike other rare earth magnets, megaMAG’s domed end is designed to easily release particles when cleaning.

megaMAG is available for use in Graymills Superflo® filters HFST or HFNT (shown mounted on filter lid on left) or on an adjustable bracket C-37327 or mini-megaMAG™ bracket C-38745 for placing inside a tank or pail, as shown at far right. Also ...

Tanks, Lids & Liners

Tanks, Lids and Liners

Round containers are preferred because they help promote circulation and blending of the ink or coating when used with Agitor® ink pumps or separate air motor mixers. Sloped bottoms and sumps in Graymills 10, 20, 30 gallon tanks allow low-pump down, minimizing waste ink.
