No Lubrication Required

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden

In order to make conveyor systems run more smoothly, their rails are often lubricated. This causes particles of dirt to adhere to the rails, which can contaminate the parts being transported. Conveyors that require no lubrication allow parts to be moved without contamination and cut operating costs. PDF-Download

Fast ROI with High-Pressure Diaphragm Pumps

Michael Hense

In addition to classical high-pressure piston pumps for high-viscosity coating materials and cup guns for low-viscosity materials and smaller spraying jobs, high-pressure diaphragm technology is playing an increasingly important role. Modern high-pressure diaphragm pumps offer decisive advantages compared to piston pumps. PDF-Download

Screwing Problems Solved

Michael Stähler

Assembling screw connection elements and fasteners with chromium(VI)-free surfaces against electrocoated surfaces or aluminium parts has often caused fastening problems in the past, especially in particularly difficult applications. These problems have now been convincingly solved by an optimised silica-based seal with an integrated lubricant. PDF-Download

Galvanising Plant Switches to Low-Temperature Powder

Thomas Roll

Specialists in surface technology know that galvanised substrates and powder coatings do not make a good combination. The porous surfaces of galvanised materials which emit gases require specific powder formulations in order to prevent pores or bubbles from forming in the coating. One Swiss galvanising plant is using a newly developed low-temperature powder which offers an efficient and cost-effective solution to this problem. PDF-Download

Decoating the Runners of Skids using an Eddy-Current System

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden

For several months, a German car manufacturer has been removing the coating from the runners of skids in the electrocoating area using an eddy-current machine. The new automatic coating removal system has paid for itself over a very short time as a result of a significant reduction in the number of rejects. PDF-Download

A Deep-Matte Finish

Thomas Roll

Fine-textured coatings with a deep-matte appearance are growing in popularity, in particular in the construction and civil engineering industries. A new range of deep-matte powder coatings produces high-quality, aesthetically pleasing results for industrial applications and facades. PDF-Download
