AMETEK Brookfield FAST systems have a rugged design with non-moving parts. Designed to perform daily, maintenance-free, under the extreme demands of printing, coating and gluing operations. Using a high-frequency micro-rotating core that is immune to press vibration, this worry-free system can measure and control the viscosity of inks, coatings and adhesives from start to finish. Operators are free to handle other press issues.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Unique Micro Rotation Sensor No moving parts, no maintenance Not affected by external vibration
Flexible vertical or horizontal installation Actual temperature reading up to 120°C Maintain accurate color throughout the process
Compact height 8.5 inches
Worldwide Support
