How Wahal Delivers the Future of Ink Manufacturing
In the fast-growing world of flexible packaging inks, manufacturers face the challenge of producing high-quality inks with consistent color strength, gloss, adhesion, and printability. Today, clients are not only looking for better inks but also for energy-efficient, dust-free, and scalable production systems. At Wahal, we provide turnkey ink manufacturing solutions built around cutting-edge machinery and automation.
The Power of LPM for Pigment Dispersions
Pigment dispersion is at the heart of ink production. Traditional methods often struggle with dusting, inconsistent wetting, and high energy usage. Wahal’s Liquid Powder Mixer (LPM) technology solves these issues by:
- Enabling dust-free operation with clean powder induction.
- Ensuring faster wetting and dispersion of pigments.
- Delivering 100% repeatability batch after batch.
- Reducing operational cost by minimizing powder loss and improving efficiency.
The LPM system makes pigment handling easier, safer, and more productive, while eliminating the need for manual labour.
Energy-Efficient Bead Mills for Fine Grinding
After dispersion, pigments require fine grinding to achieve nano-level particle sizes for gloss and print quality. Wahal’s bead mills stand out with:
- Energy-efficient grinding chambers that deliver higher throughput with lower power consumption.
- Availability in multiple MOCs (Materials of Construction) such as zirconia, hardened steel, and ceramic, catering to different pigment chemistries and wear resistance needs.
- Uniform grinding results that guarantee smooth, defect-free inks.
This versatility ensures clients can match the right bead mill to their specific ink formulations while keeping long-term costs under control.
Automatic Ingredient Dosing for Accuracy
Manual ingredient handling often leads to inconsistencies, errors, and wastage. Wahal introduces automatic dosing systems that:
- Provide precise ingredient addition with recipe management.
- Ensure data logging for every batch to maintain compliance and traceability.
- Deliver 100% scalability, allowing plants to grow without re-engineering their process.
- Eliminate the dependency on manual labour, enhancing safety and reducing human error.
