In the high-stakes world of industrial printing, where microscopic imperfections can lead to costly downtime and rejected products, one component stands as a silent guardian of print quality: the DIC EF-G5-B15 Liqui-cel Membrane Contactor. This advanced degassing membrane plays a pivotal role in ensuring the reliability and consistency that modern digital printing demands.
Beyond the Printhead: The Unseen Threat in Your Ink System
While much attention is given to printheads and inks, dissolved gases—particularly oxygen—in ink formulations represent a hidden danger to printing operations. The DIC EF-G5-B15 addresses this challenge through sophisticated membrane technology that:
- Eliminates Micro-bubbles before they can reach printhead nozzles, preventing missing jets and print defects
- Maintains Ink Viscosity and chemical stability by controlling gas content
- Reduces Maintenance Cycles and costly downtime associated with printhead cleaning
- Extends Printhead Life by protecting delicate nozzle structures from gas-related damage
How Liqui-cel Technology Revolutionizes Ink Management
The EF-G5-B15 utilizes a compact, efficient design featuring millions of microporous hollow fibers. This creates an enormous surface area for gas transfer while maintaining a minimal footprint in your printing system. The membrane operates on physical separation principles—no chemicals or additives are required, making it an environmentally friendly solution that integrates seamlessly into existing ink delivery systems.
