Viscosity Control Principle
During printing/coating, ink/adhesive’s gradually increases as the diluent in the ink/adhesive rapidly evaporates. NP5.0-MIN-SE has a built-in viscometer that measures ink/adhesive viscosity every 20s . When a viscosity increase is detected, it automatically replenishes diluent to control viscosity in real-time accurately.
Breakthrough innovations of the NP5.0-MIN-SE Specialized Viscosity Controller’s viscosity control compared to Traditional Viscosity Controllers:
- Features built-in viscometer, eliminating the need for frequent manual viscosity measurements.
- Eliminating risk of over-dilution due to excessive solvent addition, avoiding ink/ adhesive over-thinning.
While feeding liquid materials from the circulation tank to the fluid pan of the printing/coating/laminating equipment, viscosity is measured uninterrupted every 20 seconds. If the measured value exceeds the set value for 0.1 seconds, the main unit draws solvent and adds it to the circulation tank, enabling real-time viscosity control.

FAQ
Q1: What is the NP5.0-MIN Viscosity Controller used for?
A1: The SIGHTEC NP5.0-MIN Viscosity Controller is designed for automatic viscosity monitoring and adjustment in paint, ink, coating, and printing production lines. It helps maintain stable fluid viscosity to improve color consistency, coating quality, and production efficiency.
Q2: How does the NP5.0-MIN Viscosity Controller work?
A2: The system continuously measures fluid viscosity in real time and automatically adds solvent when viscosity exceeds the preset value. This closed-loop control system helps prevent over-dilution, reduces manual intervention, and keeps production stable during long operating cycles.
Q3: What are the advantages of automatic viscosity control?
A3: Automatic viscosity control helps reduce batch color variation, improve coating uniformity, lower solvent consumption, and minimize material waste. It also reduces downtime caused by unstable ink or paint viscosity, making it ideal for automated industrial production environments.
Q4: Which industries can use the NP5.0-MIN Viscosity Controller?
A4: The NP5.0-MIN is widely used in flexographic printing, gravure printing, paint manufacturing, industrial coatings, packaging printing, and other chemical fluid applications where precise viscosity control is critical for product quality and process stability.
