Your customers are increasingly asking for their products to be
finished with high-gloss or specialeffect coatings. If several
coating changes are required in the course of a single day flexible
technology and a high level of automation are required to minimize
makeready times. CoatingStar considerably speeds up and simplifies
coating changes between various dispersion coatings or various UV
coatings.
The CoatingStar universal coating supply unit is based on
unique, low-maintenance annular-piston pump technology and can be
used to process a whole range of different coatings. Thanks to the
high pumping volume also high-viscosity coatings can be handled
easily. The high pumping volume as well as fully automatic washup
programs speed up and facilitate coating changes and the cleaning
of the coating system resulting in reduced makeready times.
In addition, pumps can be run both forwards and backwards so
that coating residue left in hoses and the coating unit can be
pumped back into the supply container. This saves time and
minimizes the amount of coating residue.
CoatingStar can also heat the coating. This improves the
gloss level, in particular for UV coatings.
Thanks to the pump design, CoatingStar benefits from
pulsation-free operation. This means that hardly any foam is
produced, resulting in uniform distribution of the coating and an
optimum coating result.
Thanks to
CANopen, the system can be operated at the
unit's convenient control panel. It is also easy to operate it
centrally at the
Prinect Press Center.
