What is Thermoelectric Cooling Roller
In a general way, commercial printing machine raise the temperature to about 100℃ by heater in order to dry the ink on the paper. Then they get down the temperature to about 25℃ (room temperature) in order to firm the printing quality. (When the printing is done on the heated paper with high temperature, inhomogeneous printing quality will occur. To avoid this problem, the cooling roller (water cooling system) is needed to get down the paper temperature to room temperature.
Subjects about current water-cooled system roller
-
Corrode (=malfunction) of inside parts by water leakage
-
Disposal for refrigerant water after the periodical maintenance
(= disposal by specific company)*Refrigerant water contains the following material.
①antiseptic substance
②antifreeze liquid
⇒Disposal handling is very bother after exchange to new one. -
Arranged pips are needed in accordance with number of roller
(=Securement of wide space) -
Dew drop at start-up and shutoff makes poor printing quality / ripped paper.
⇒Dew drop comes out in about 15 minutes
on the current water cooling system.

Compact and simple cooling system
Industry first thermoelectric device cooling roller without using any water. This technology has made compact cooling system and solved the limitation of space for commercial printing machine. (No need of cooling chiller and arranged pips for water cooling system) (Reduction of installation space by 40%)
Significant reduction of start-up time for cooling by quick response with thermoelectric device
The quick cooling is available with moving heat of roller surface to inside roller by clamp construction of thermoelectric device between cooling plate and heatsink. Cooling time is reduced to 1/6. (30 minutes ⇒ 5 minutes)
Development technology
- High density of
thermoelectric device elements - Precision machining process of
thermoelectric elements
-
Precision machining process
for thermoelectric elements
(against current device: 1/4 cubic volume)
*2mm square×1mm(t）⇒1mm square ×1mm(t)- ⇒Comparison for density of elements per unit area
- ・Current device: 16 elements / cm2
- ・High density device: 28 elements / cm2
(about two times)
Cooling speed will be
about twice fast
- Countermeasure for inhomogeneous
surface temperature of roller in cooling - Optimized parts design
(cooling plate, shape of heatsink)
by thermal analysis -
-
Cooling plate
(Hog-backed shape)→same as inside shape of roller
-
Heatsink for radiation
(angular shape)→Pursuit of efficient radiation on rolling
