CONDITIONING THROUGH RE-MOISTENING
WEKO | Digicon
In digital printing, dryer systems are used to dry water-based inkjet inks or to fix toner-based systems. Paper consists of organic fibers whose properties change negatively when exposed to heat.
Conditioning of paper through re-moistening in the High Speed Digital inkjet Printing Industry by WEKO | Digicon or WEKO | Webcon reverses undesirable effects like paper curl, waviness, electrostatic charges and register differences.
Effective and Efficient
Besides supporting excellent printing results, the WEKO technology is also efficient in the exact required sprayed water quantities. Therefore, you are saving valuable resources.
WEKO | Digicon and Silicon Option
Global Player partnering with market leaders of printing presses
Hence, WEKO is a global partner with market leading printing press manufacturers. This is because the WEKO technology sets the industry standard in inline remoistening. Another key point is that with local service and spare part points, we provide the best possible support in servicing and maintaining your spray units.
The WEKO Digicon technology in brief
The WEKO liquid supply unit provides the exact amount of liquid. The integrated pump transports the liquid from a storage tank to the rotor carrier. The rotor disc spindles and forms pre-defined jet stream of micro droplets. These micro droplets spray evenly over the web, and create therefore a uniform liquid film. Unused liquid returns to the liquid storage tanks.

WEKO | AP Powder Application System
EFFICIENT POWDER SPRAYING
WEKO EFFICIENT POWDER SPRAYING
The WEKO | AP Powder Application system is the latest version of efficient powder spraying for the Offset sheet printing industry and is designed to meet the needs of today’s high speed offset presses. Its precise and uniform spraying application technology will help keep your environment clean and your production stable.
How it works
A powder-air mixture is precisely applied to the web through the Precision Metering System (PMS). Uniform air flow transports the powder through the nozzles. What’s more, the control unit calculates and monitors the function of the system. Furthermore, this unit adapts the amount of powder to the format and speed of the machine. This combination in geometry allows for the highest transfer efficiency of the powder particles, as well as economy in powder consumption.
