Zs Tech launches new i-Tech division

The change of ownership structure of Zs Tech Srl (Sassuolo) was completed on schedule on 7 November last year. It now consists of Bruno Bettelli, co-founder and majority shareholder, and three managers who have been with the company for many years, Andrea Carandini, Fabio Manfredi and Matteo Neri. The four new shareholders acquired the 80% stake owned by Zschimmer & Schwarz Finance S.p.A, a company belonging to the eponymous German multinational, laying the foundations for more effective company growth together with greater operational flexibility.

Already well known for its Colormix brand products (colour-matching solutions for the production of screen printing pastes, slips and coloured glazes), Zs Tech recently introduced i-Tech, the new company division responsible for developing solutions and materials for the production of digital decoration inks (premixers, mills, filtering units and storage systems). The first units installed in recent months have already proved highly successful.

One of the new solutions proposed by Zs Tech is Colorfiller, a system for packaging inks directly on site, allowing them to be supplied in 200 litre drums or 1000 litre tanks. After being connected to the machine, they feed the containers of the chosen size in an automatic and controlled fashion. By virtue of Colorfiller's filtration system, the ink shelf life begins from the time it is bottled on site rather than from the time it is packaged by the manufacturer. The filtration cycle that the ink undergoes before being loaded in the machine lengthens its shelf life while at the same time reducing problems deriving from nozzle clogging due to the presence of sediment.
