Design and function 4.3.2.1 TintONE Depending on the Tinta model, the machine could contain 16, 24 or 32 TintOne modules. The key component of the TintOne module is the self-contained color paste circuit. Each TintONE module is a compact and complete system unit with a canister for color pastes, an integrated piston pump, a multiway valve and a control element.
Design and function The TintONE technology with its integrated pumping process keeps the paste in the storage tank in perpetual motion. The circulatory operation ensures that the paste is in an ideal processing state at all times. The ceramic valve allows the color pastes to be moved in different ways: suction, dispensing or recirculation.

Design and function 4.3.2.4 MoveNOZ The height-adjustable dispensing head unit MoveNOZ is used as a splash guard when dispensing the color paste. Before the dispensing process can begin, a container must be placed underneath the dispensing head unit. Next, the height of the dispensing head unit must be adjusted to suit the height of the container.
Design and function 4.5 Components – Electrical system / Controller DANGER Only allow qualified electricians to perform work on the electrical supply system.
