The Fluid Dosage System (FDS) consists of 2 combinable modular units:

  • FDS-Mix - Automatic premixing of a soap / water mixture for direct consumption or in a storage container
  • FDS-Pump - Automatic pumping of a premixed soap / water mixture into the cleaning circuit of the printing machine. The unit is connected to the printing machine and automatically feeds the soap / water mixture to the printing machine with the required line pressure as required.

//FDS- Mix Direct

Das FDS – Mix Direct serves as a mixing station for the manual removal of a soap / water mixture at various points in the company, e.g. Cliché washing area at the printing press. In this way, defined purchase quantities can be regulated by production management and the safety of employees when working with substances with a high pH value can be ensured.

The unit consists of:

  • Pressure-operated proportional dosing pump 5-25% (other dosing ranges on request), max. 500 l / h manual setting on a mounting plate, water connection: ¾ “, max. 6 bar
  • Suction hose with filter basket for the connection to the tank of the soap concentrate
  • Manual shut-off valve in front of the dosing pump input
  • Manual shut-off valve after the dosing pump to take off the mixture

// FDS- Mix Storage

Das FDS – Mix Storage has a storage container and is therefore suitable for an automatic, changing volume of the soap / water mixture. Manual removal of the mixture is also possible.

The unit consists of:

  • 1 cabinet 600 x 1200 x 400 mm including frame, total height 1800 mm

Integrated in the cabinet:

  • 1 suction hose with filter basket for the connection to the tank of the soap concentrate
  • 1 pressure-operated proportional dosing pump 5-25% (other dosing ranges on request), max. 500 l / h manual setting on a mounting plate, water connection: ¾ “, max. 6 bar
  • 1 mixing tank with automatic level control with a capacity of 30 or 50 l (depending on the number of connected tapping points)
  • 1 manual shut-off valve in front of the dosing pump input
  • 1 manual shut-off valve after the dosing pump to take off the mixture

// FDS- Pump

The FDS - Pump can be used in connection with an FDS - Mix Storage or with a soap / water mixture provided by the customer. 

The soap / water mixture can be sucked in from a container or made available via a line with a maximum of 6 bar.

The unit consists of:

  • 1 cabinet 600 x 600 x 210 mm including frame, total height 1800 mm

Integrated in the cabinet:

  • 1 pump per prinping factory: Adjustable, pneumatic double diaphragm pump, installed after the mixing tank to convey the mixture to the tapping points
  • 1 manometer per printing factory: Manometer for monitoring the outlet pressure for injection into the cleaning room
  • 1 PLC to control the injection valves and diaphragm pumps
  • 1 fault indicator light
  • 1 electrical connection to the machine interface (machine dependent)

Maximum distance to the acceptance point in the standard: 25 m

Standard design for each delivery point:

  • 1 stainless steel injection valve ½ "
  • 1 electrical connection to the injection valve 25 m flexible PE hose 14x12 mm

Various small parts for integration into the washing cycle

The system is delivered with the "Declaration for the installation of an incomplete machine in accordance with Directive 2006/42 / EC, Appendix II 1.B".

Delivery limit - not included in delivery:

  • Electrical connection: 115-230V AC, 1-phase, 2 A (FDS - Mix Storage, FDS - Pump)
  • Air pressure connection: 6 bar (only FDS - Pump)
  • Water connection: 3/4 “, pressure 1-6 bar, without pressure fluctuations during operation

**Important note for the use of cleaning agents - compatibility for components / surfaces:

We recommend a cleaner with a pH value not higher than 11, low foaming, not aggressive to materials aluminium, steel, copper, zinc, nickel, polyurethane. If the local water hardness is more than 5 ° dH (German hardness) or 4 ° e (English hardness), we urgently recommend a lime scale - removing additive for the use of the cleaner. If the local water hardness is higher than 14 ° dh (German hardness) or 11 ° e (English hardness), we recommend an adequate decalcifying system. Duo-Technik will be happy to advise you comprehensively.

Several cleaners are rated "good quality". Please contact us for appropriate product names - or send us a test sample of your cleaner for our qualified test purposes and approval.

Duo-Technik has its own, compliant DUOCleaningAgent Ultimate Cliché Cleaner (UCC) with tested compatibility for components / surfaces in its range.
