Fountain Solutions
Lithographic Equipment - Filtration - Fount LOOP:
The Pomeroy Fount Loop is part of the Pomeroy IPA Reduction range of
products and is a self enclosed filtration system which you simply place into
your fount circulation tank. The Pomeroy Fount Loop runs totally independently
to any other filters in your system.
The Pomeroy Fount Loop will filter a maximum of 83 litres per minute in
addition to any existing filtration.
This means that your need
to ‘deep clean’ your
system can be reduced
dramatically. Your
maintenance intervals can
be extended and if you are
trying to reduce or
eliminate IPA, it is an
absolute must. The
Pomeroy Fount Loop
requires NO expensive
installation.
The Pomeroy Fount Loop
uses a specially selected
submersible pump and
other components
compatible with Litho
fountain solutions. The
Pomeroy Fount Loop
provides you with secondary high level filtration within your circulation tank, with
your fount solution passing through the filter media at the same rate of flow.
Lithographic FACT File:
•
It is a fact that new fount solution is always added to top-up already
contaminated fount in the circulation system, thus compounding a felony.
•
The only time the fount solution is actually pure, is after a system 'clean
up' or press maintenance.
•
It is a fact that good lithographic printing is dependant upon cleanliness -
and the cleaner the fount solution the less printing problems we see.
•
Many fount circulation systems have "token or arbitary" coarse filtration
to remove the 'big lumps'/ These filters treat the returned fount at the
same speed as the return flow.
The experience of all printers is that the contaminate overwhelms their existing
filtration measures. The existing methods of filtration are of limited
effectiveness.
This is exasperated by the fact that many filters are simply "strainers" and do
nothing to increase the purity of the fount solution in their circulation system.
In recent years PALL Filtration have developed a range of Lithopure® filters to
address the problem of dirt saturated fount circulation systems. When
incorporated into the Pomeroy ingenious Fount Loop system, these provide an
effective means of removing contaminants. Lithopure® filters provide an
incredible simple, low cost solution to one of the lithographers most expensive
disadvantages.
