Lamosa orders a second I-Nkfiller® system

Already successfully tested at the Cerámica San Lorenzo factory in Peru, Lamosa has also adopted the technology produced by I-Tech and distributed by Inter Ser at its factory in Guanajuato, Mexico.

Following the successful implementation of I-Nkfiller® at the Cerámica San Lorenzo facility in Peru, the Lamosa Group – the world’s second-largest tile producer – has placed a further order for the technology produced by I-Tech and distributed by Inter Ser for its factory at Guanajuato, Mexico.

The system supplied to the Mexican factory will manage four colours across 13 production lines, each equipped with digital printers from four different manufacturers. To accommodate this large number of digital machines, Lamosa has selected the top-tier I-Nkfiller® PRO version featuring PIM Pro-color management and remote consumption monitoring capabilities.

Based on data from the first few months following installation of the system, results have exceeded expectations and initial evaluations: a return on investment (ROI) in under a year, an increased yield of first-choice products thanks to tone stability and reduced sedimentation defects, fewer production stops for printhead cleaning, and a corresponding increase in productivity. These performance advantages are complemented by operational and management benefits, including the elimination of human error, reduced transport costs and CO₂ emissions, and a lower environmental impact thanks to the elimination of plastic canisters and reduced waste.

I-Nkfiller® is the original automatic filling system for inks, materials and glues for digital printers. With 179 installations worldwide and counting, it is one of the most popular solutions on the market renowned for its performance and shorter-than-expected payback time.

“For the Guanajuato facility, we have installed a complex system in terms of both scale and types of machinery,” commented Paolo Zanoni, CEO of Inter Ser. “The challenge was successfully met thanks to the reliability of the components and the use of I-Nkfiller® technology, which I-Tech has continued to improve over decades of experience and numerous installations. This solution has completely automated what was once an expensive manual process, simplifying digital ink management and delivering significant economic and operational benefits for ceramic companies.”
