Ink & Printing Industry Solutions

Rotho peristaltic pumps deliver precise, contamination-free ink transfer - from UV-cure and solvent-based formulations to water-based and specialty inks.

Ink & Printing Challenges

Printing operations demand precise ink delivery without contamination. Pumps must handle aggressive solvent systems, UV-reactive formulations, and delicate water-based inks while maintaining exact flow rates for consistent print quality.

  • Precise Metering: Print quality depends on exact, consistent ink delivery
  • Chemical Compatibility: Solvents, UV-cure resins, and specialty inks attack pump materials
  • Contamination Risk: Metal particles from seals can ruin print quality
  • Shear Sensitivity: Some inks change viscosity or color under high shear
  • Quick Changeover: Multiple ink colors require fast, clean changes

Why Rotho for Ink & Printing

Purpose-built features for printing applications

Precise Ink Metering

Linear flow-speed relationship ensures exact, repeatable ink delivery. No slip means predictable output at any speed - critical for maintaining color density and print consistency.

  • Exact volumetric output
  • No slip
  • Repeatable batch-to-batch
  • Signal controlled

Zero Contamination

Ink only contacts the replaceable hose interior - no mechanical seals, glands, or metal parts in the flow path. Eliminates particle contamination that ruins print quality.

  • No seal particles
  • No metal contact
  • Clean ink delivery
  • Single flow path

Chemical Compatible

Seven hose materials handle UV-cure inks, aggressive solvents, water-based formulations, and specialty chemistry. Match the hose to your ink system.

  • Solvent resistant
  • UV-cure compatible
  • Water-based safe
  • 7 material options

Fast Color Changes

Reversible flow clears lines quickly. Simple hose replacement enables fast, clean color changes with no cross-contamination between ink batches.

  • Reversible clearing
  • Quick hose change
  • No cross-contamination
  • Minimal waste
