With the rapid development of the digital , automotive coatings, industrial coatings, and electronic inks industries, market demands for ink and coating performance continue to rise.

In addition to color performance and application performance, companies are placing greater emphasis on product fineness control, dispersion stability, batch consistency, and large-scale production efficiency. However, traditional ink and coating production processes still commonly face issues such as pigment agglomeration, insufficient powder wetting, unstable grinding fineness, difficulties in handling high-viscosity materials, and excessive manual intervention.

Therefore, an automated ink and coating production line that integrates mixing, dispersion, grinding, filtration, automatic filling, and intelligent control has become a key solution for improving product quality and production efficiency.

Boyee Industrial provides intelligent manufacturing solutions—ranging from individual machines to complete production lines—for the ink, coating, color paste, UV ink, digital inkjet, and electronic ink sectors, helping customers achieve high-quality, stable, and automated production.

1. Grinding and Dispersion: Key Processes Determining Ink and Coating Quality. 

In the production of inks and coatings, the wetting, deagglomeration, and refinement of pigment particles are critical steps that influence the performance of the final product.

Particularly for high-end products such as UV inks, digital inkjet inks, automotive coatings, high-solids coatings, and functional coatings, efficient grinding and dispersion equipment is required to achieve:

· Stable particle size distribution

· Improved color strength and consistency

· Higher gloss and surface quality

· Enhanced storage stability

· Reduced batch-to-batch variation

The Boyee ink and coating production line is designed around the core process flow of “pre-dispersion—fine grinding—filtration—filling,” optimizing the entire process from raw material input to finished product packaging.

2. High-Speed Disperser: Improving Pigment Wetting and Pre-dispersion Efficiency

In the initial stages of ink and coating production, high-speed dispersers are responsible for rapidly mixing pigments, resins, solvents, and additives.

Through high-speed rotation, the dispersing disc generates strong shear forces that  rapidly wets the powders and effectively breaks up larger agglomerates, creating a uniform and stable slurry for subsequent grinding processes.

High-speed dispersers are widely used in:

· Ink production

· Coating production

· Color paste manufacturing

· Adhesive materials

· Preparation of functional slurries

By optimizing the dispersing disc design, rotational speed, and mixing parameters, manufacturers can further improve production efficiency, dispersion quality, and batch-to-batch consistency.

3. Nano Bead Mill: Achieving High-Precision Grinding of Inks and Coatings

The BOYEE Nano Bead Mill adopts an advanced grinding chamber and rotor design. By driving the grinding media at high speed, the equipment generates intensive shear, impact, and friction forces inside the chamber, enabling efficient refinement and dispersion of pigment particles.Ink and coating bead mills are primarily used for:

· UV inks

· Digital inkjet inks

· Packaging inks

· Automotive coatings

· Industrial coatings

· Nanomaterial slurries

Depending on different material characteristics, the equipment can be customized with various rotor structures, separation systems, and contact materials according to: Material viscosity, Solid content, Target particle size, Purity requirements

Key components of bead mills can be made from:

· Zirconia

· Silicon carbide

· Cemented carbide

· Polyurethane wear-resistant materials

Through the appropriate selection of materials, it is possible to reduce the risk of wear and contamination, extend the service life of the equipment, and meet the stability and purity requirements of high-end inks and coatings.

4. Inline Mixer: Solving Problems of Uneven Powder-Liquid Mixing and Agglomeration

During the production of certain inks and coatings, powders may suffer from poor wetting and agglomeration, affecting dispersion quality and production efficiency. BOYEE’s in-line mixers provide an efficient continuous powder-liquid mixing solution.Through precise liquid feeding, independent powder feeding, and high-speed shear dispersion, the system enables rapid powder wetting and uniform mixing, effectively reducing agglomeration and improving slurry stability.Advantages of the in-line mixers include:

· Rapid powder wetting and blending

· Reduced manual feeding

· Reduced powder agglomeration

· Improved production efficiency

· Support for continuous production

Suitable for: ink slurry preparation, coating additive mixing, and high-solids slurry production

5. Filtration and Automatic Filling: Enhancing Production Automation

After grinding, the slurry must undergo further precision filtration to remove coarse particles and impurities, thereby improving product stability.

Boyee’s ink filtration systems and coating filtration equipment can be customized according to different material viscosity, filtration requirement, and production capacity, enabling a seamless integration system between the grinding equipment and the filtration system.

Once filtration is complete, the finished product is transferred to an automatic filling system for packaging. 

The automatic filling system enables automatic metering, automatic conveying, and automatic filling, reducing human error and improving packaging efficiency.

For large-scale production, additional system such as automatic conveying, capping, and palletizing systems can be further integrated to achieve a fully automated production process.

6. Automated Production Lines for Inks and Coatings: Enabling Smart Manufacturing from Raw Materials to Finished Products

Boyee’s automated production lines for industrial inks and coatings are comprehensively designed based on customer’s requirements, including: raw material feeding systems, high-speed dispersion systems, in-line mixing systems, grinding and dispersion systems, storage and formulation systems, precision filtration systems, automatic filling systems, and intelligent control systems.

Through PLC-based automatic control, the system enables centralized management of equipment operating parameters, production data, and process flows. Additional features—such as formula management, batch traceability, data acquisition, fault alarms, and remote monitoring—can be integrated as needed. This helps enterprises achieve digital, automated, and intelligent upgrades in their ink and coating production processes.
