IPS - the best dispensing system for the textile industry

The first IPS, Integrated Paste preparation System, was introduced at ITMA in 1983. The IPS was developed and produced by GSE, while Stork was responsible for marketing and sales. The IPS was and still is the best and most successful dispensing system for textile printers.

The first system was the IPS2000, sold worldwide and still many of these systems are running in today's market place. Its successor was the IPS1200, and after that the Saturn was introduced. This system won a prize for best industrial design.

The new concept
In 2001, we introduced the new IPS series, developed and designed according to our new concept:
- Very compact - because floor space is always an issue
- Simple construction - because it should be extremely
  reliable and easy to maintain
- Improved performance; by a new valve design, air operated
  and an improved dispensing algorithm that constantly
  calculates the flow in order to adjust dispensing parameters
  during dispensing - making it very fast and accurate
And combined with the following characteristics:
- Easy handling; conveyors on floor level for easy bucket
  transport, storage tanks on floor level for easy barrel
  exchange and better quality of the colours
- Easy operation; touch screen and software under Windows
  XP using easy and clear pictograms so the operator can
  hardly make any mistake. The barcode unit makes it
  complete to prevent human errors.

The IPS program
In 2009, we have revamped the IPS program, where we replaced the former IPS alpha and IPS delta models with the new IPS delta.The new IPS program nowadays exists of the following systems for paste production:
- the IPS delta (for upto 2 dyestuff groups)
- the IPS lambda (for more than 2 dyestuff groups)
- TPS (Thickening Preparation System)
- TMS (Textile Management Software)

and for sampling (especially designed for dispensing small amounts):
- the IPS epsilon (for more than 2 dyestuff groups)
- the IPS match (for 1 dyestuff group)
