Kent Systems Custom Bulk Ink Solutions

We assist ink manufacturers and printer manufacturers with bulk ink systems with both products and experienced engineering. the products involved are: ink bladders (bags), high-grade polyethylene tubing known as Acrolene XP, shut-off couplings (to prevent ink spilling), and drill and "tap" cartridge modifications. We have worked with a variety of name brands.

Kent Systems now offers Tubing!

June 27, 2011, Loveland CO--KENT Systems has just released its line of Acrolene XP tubing to the public. Acrolene XP is an extremely chemical resistant polyethylene material with excellent flexibility.

“We are very excited to offer this line of tubing. Our customers have been asking us to carry a line of tubing that is as good as our couplings for some time now. After years of development and testing, we finally accomplished our goal.” Linda Sampson, CEO

There are a number of different tube materials on the market, each with their own characteristics. PVC tends to be inexpensive, clear and flexible. However, it has low chemical resistance, low pressure rating, and leaches toxins. For this reason it is being phased out of thee medical market as well as a handful of other markets.

Standard polyethylene tubing, (LLDPE, LDPE, HDPE) has great chemical resistance at a fair price, but is extremely inflexible, milky in color and prone to kinking. In addition, it tends to crack at low temperatures and melts at low temperatures too.

Polyurethane has great pressure performance and good chemical resistance. However, it lacks the flexibility of PVC, discolors over time and is dramatically more expensive.

Acrolene XP bridges a number of gaps left by other tubes. It is clear, has great chemical resistance, remains strong below freezing temperatures, has a high melt point, good pressure performance, resistant to kinking and will not leach dangerous chemicals into the fluid path. In addition, it is a very affordable product.

“Unlike most polyethylene tubing, ours is extremely flexible, simple to work with and easy to use on tube barbs. Acrolene XP is an ideal substitute for PVC and polyurethane in scores of applications” Lyle Sampson, COO

The KENT Systems revolutionary line of quick couplings and plastic fittings has entered into a whole new industry with the unveiling of their new bottle caps. The caps come with the patented KENT Systems male ¼ turn quick coupling and is available with the patented KENT Systems shut-off cam valve to keep your fluids inside the bottle when not connected.

The bottle caps allow the user to access the liquid within a bottle or media bag without the need of removing the cap. Simply connect the cap to a KENT Systems coupling and access the liquid inside. Removing the coupling will stop the flow of liquid from the container.

“This product is not just covenant, it is safer. Technicians no longer need to expose themselves to open containers that may be filled with dangerous liquids.” Lyle Sampson, Product Designer

With this new line of bottle caps, KENT Systems can now cater to a much broader customer base and product range in industries such as: chemical handling, fluid cooling systems, and an ever expanding ink market. With the addition of this cap, customers can now maintain a closed system and reduce contaminates to their liquids.

“We have produced our new line of caps for only a couple of months and we already have a huge demand. It is nice to have engineers here at KENT Systems that are capable of further broadening our already extensive product lines”. Adam Bauer, Project Design
