AgitaPro S - Ink Agitator

Automatic Flying Knife Film Laminator

Hot Knife option available
Model: 108E3

General features:

  • 01 High efficient: Power consumption of Flying knife is as low as 0.4kW.

  • 02 No tail film: knife blade temperatures rose to 400 °C within 3 seconds to ensure net and quick cutting.

  • 03 High Speed Cut: 80 meters per minute subject to paper size, paper thickness and paper printing.

  • 04 High cut accuracy: Double laser self-aligning device ensures perfect cutting effect.

  • 05 High precision ceramic anilox coating roller as standard to ensure super even gluing, no glue stripes, longer roller life, anti-corrosion, significant glue saving.

  • 06 Non-stop paper feeder system enables continuous feeding without machine stop to minimize waste film.

  • 07 Electric thermal powder-removal system ensures clean paper surface to enhance lamination quality.

  • 08 Electric glue drying system combined with heat recirculation system to guarantee quick heating to dry the glue and power saving.(30kW consumption in production)

An ink agitator is a press-mounted device that keeps printing ink in continuous, uniform motion inside the ink fountain — preventing skinning, settling, and viscosity inconsistency during long production runs. The AgitaPro S from Suba Solutions is a compact, no-electrical-input industrial ink agitator designed for flexographic and gravure printing lines, where consistent ink flow directly affects print quality and waste reduction. It mounts directly onto existing ink fountains, runs on compressed air, and keeps high-viscosity inks flowable without manual stirring or operator intervention. 

How an Industrial Ink Agitator Improves Print Quality

On long printing runs, ink left undisturbed in the fountain tends to skin over, settle unevenly, or thicken — all of which show up as print defects, inconsistent color density, or wasted ink that has to be discarded and replaced mid-run. An industrial ink agitator like the AgitaPro S solves this with continuous, gentle agitation that: 

Keeps ink at a consistent, flowable viscosity throughout the shift
Eliminates the need for an ink knife or manual stirring
Reduces ink waste from skinned or settled material
Reduces ink waste from skinned or settled material

This matters most on presses running high-viscosity inks, extended shifts, or color-critical work where even minor inconsistency is visible in the final print.

Why Printing Businesses Choose the AgitaPro S Printing Ink Agitator

Suba Solutions built the AgitaPro S specifically for press operators who need a printing ink agitator that’s simple to install and doesn’t add another point of electrical failure on the line. 

  • No electrical input required — runs entirely on compressed air (3–5 bar), so there’s nothing extra to wire into the press
  • Removable agitator arms — for fast cleaning between ink changes or color switches
  • Adjustable speed control via toggle switch — match agitation intensity to ink type
  • Customized mounting brackets — fits onto existing fountain setups without press modification
  • Two bar sizes available — 1200mm (40″) and 700mm (30″) agitator bars, with fully customized dimensions available on request to match your specific press width

Where the AgitaPro S Fits — Flexographic & Gravure Lines

This is built as a flexographic ink agitator and gravure ink agitator solution — both processes rely on fountain or pan-fed ink systems where settling and skinning are common pain points. If you’re running either process and currently rely on manual stirring or an ink knife to manage consistency, the AgitaPro S is designed to eliminate that step entirely.
