The document discusses machinery used in the manufacturing processes of inks and paints. It describes how inks require various raw materials like resins, polymers, dyes and pigments that must be precisely formulated and processed. For paint manufacturing, high shear dispersers and mixers were developed to break down pigments and create homogeneous mixtures, but these machines had limitations in production time and size reduction. The document introduces Wahal Engineer's high shear mixer and high speed disperser machines as improvements that address the disadvantages of previous machinery used in paint manufacturing.

1. Inks & Paint Manufacturing Process Machinery
Inks Manufacturing Process Machinery
Inks are used generally for a variety of industries especially pharmaceuticals and food. They
have their application in bar coding, batch numbering, expiry date marking and other
identification purposes. The Formulation varies extensively according to the method of
application and end use. Inks manufacturing process machinery requires various processes,
formulation, equipments and manufacturing steps known as “Recipes” for its production. A wide
range of materials are required for the formulation of good quality ink, namely- resins, polymers
plasticizers, dyes, conductive salts and premicronized pigments. These ingredients are required
to be added in various forms like powdered, liquid or chip forms. The powdered and liquid forms
are to be predispersed in aqueous or organic solvent.
Paint Manufacturing Process Machinery
Over the years, paint mixing technologies have faced various challenges. Each challenge leading
to a more effective solution. The breaking down of pigments to form agglomeration and
dispersing of the solids into a homogenous mixture was achieved with the help of High Shear
disperser. The development of the high speed disperser (HSD) blade, paved the way to faster
processing of paints and coatings. In spite of its advantages these machines were unable to meet
the Industrial requirement of the desired level of size reduction. They were incompetent in terms
of production time, as the process demands higher processing time leading to slow production
time. In a way affecting its productivity.
