Xaar introduces Sure Flow self-cleaning mode

Sure Flow is claimed to enable users to clear and prevent nozzle blockages without the need to remove the printhead. Enabled by software, users simply activate the mode as required by adjusting the settings and loading a command file. This drives each channel to work at maximum power and frequency to create ultrasonic waves that produce controlled vibrations of the channel walls without pausing production or the need to remove the printhead.   

 

Graham Tweedale, general manager of Xaar’s printhead business, said: ‘By minimizing downtime and maintenance, Sure Flow can provide users with unrivaled reliability and enhanced productivity across the Xaar recirculating printhead range.’  

 

Xaar worked in collaboration with several customers and Sure Flow has already been tested in real-world operations worldwide.   

 

The company said that the feedback has been extremely positive. Xaar recirculating printhead users are invited to contact their representative or use the Xaar Community to gain access to the new Sure Flow mode.   

 

Tweedale concluded: ‘Sure Flow is the latest development from Xaar that continues our focus on delivering practical innovation for our customers, helping them keep their print at its very best in even the harshest environments.’
