Bühler machinery mixing ink for 200 Swiss franc note

The new 200 Swiss franc note features earthy brown colours. These inks will be mixed on machinery supplied by the Bühler Group. Bühler equipment dominates the banknote ink dispersing market worldwide.

According to a press release from Bühler, all new Swiss banknotes are printed with security inks. These inks are crushed and dispersed on three-roll mills supplied by Bühler Grinding & Dispersing. “By using our technologies and equipment in their production processes, our customers can meet top security, quality and reliability standards in making their banknotes,” comments Cornel Mendler, Managing Director of the Grinding & Dispersing unit.

This technology originally comes from chocolate production, where the mills were developed for refining chocolate masses. The company from the St.GallenBodenseeArea has been further improving its three-roll technology for over 100 years. “Roller mill technology is part of Bühler’s DNA,” says Mendler.

Bühler has become a leader in the sector worldwide on the basis of this experience and holds a global market share of more than 75 percent. Bühler is currently starting up production equipment in India and on the American continent in order to fulfil new orders.

The Bühler Leybold Optics business unit also plays a part in the creation of banknotes. It contributes to their forgery-proofness by providing the coatings for the holograms which are embedded in the banknotes.
