The stoneware industry is constantly developing in many areas, and machines from Axel Wirth Maschinen GmbH are often used. In order to be able to coat stoneware, you first need the application medium and the right vision, and we will be happy to do the rest for you.
Examples of applications include:
The production of building materials has its challenges. In addition to heavy and hard workpieces, the production environments in stoneware production are completely different from those in furniture production, for example. We have adapted to this and have developed and supplied several solutions for different fields.
Our roller applicators are used Depending on the type of liquid, its viscosity and the desired application weight, we use smooth, grooved or open-pore rollers.
The rubber compounds have to be extremely abrasion-resistant and flexible, which is why we use over 80 different rubber compounds that can also be sandwiched together.
In sandwich construction, we use sponge rubber on the metal core of the roller, which is then covered again with a smooth rubber.
In this way, we achieve a smooth roller surface that is flexible enough to allow good wetting of bevels.
You are welcome to carry out tests with your materials in our technical centre.
Please contact us so that we can arrange an appointment with you in Oberkochen.
From 26 to 29 April 2023, we were present at the Atmos Innovation Days in Hof at the specialist for vacuum presses.
(more…)Axel Wirth Maschinen has it’s origins in the furniture industry. The first plants were delivered in 1986 as glue applications machines in the furniture industry. Additionally, the LW 100 and LW 120 were developed. New requirements were added step by step.
According to those requirements, new types of machinery were developed like for example the dosing roller machine type DWO and the reverse application machine Type DDO. Additionally to that, Axel Wirth Maschinen GmbH offers distributor units for Oils, UV Oils, lye and stain. Besides the coating of surfaces, the coating of profiles (e.g. lamination) is also an important topic. That’s why we’re also offering a spraying machine Type SPW, which can accurately apply oils, lye, lacquer and stain on profiles. For distribution those liquids on profiled parts, there’s also a distributor unit, which can be adapted precisely to each angle of the profile. After the application and distribution was solved, the drying of the fluids came into our focus. Besides UV-dryers Axel Wirth Maschinen now also offers IR, circulation air and LED dryers. So we can offer you a one-stop service. The broadest working width of glue application machines is 1300mm in standard and in terms of surface finishing like with oils, lye, stain it’s 600mm. If you’d like to test a machine, visit us and we can carry out tests at our technical center.
Among other things, in the automotive sector, in furniture construction or in the insulation material sector Honeycomb panels or honeycomb core is used.
Gluing honeycomb panels or honeycomb panel cores is a frequent application on glue application machines from Axel Wirth Maschinen GmbH.
Application examples are:
The challenge here is that the glue has to be applied to the webs of the honeycomb core without tiling into the cavities.
But the application amount must be so high that lamination is possible and firm.
To do this, the viscosity of the adhesive, the roller surface and the production speed must match.
In rare cases, the adhesive is foamed before application, we also have solutions for this.
The foaming increases the surface of the applied adhesive, so a larger amount of adhesive can be applied to the small area of the bars.
Our roller application machines are often used for this LW 100, LW 120, or DWO.
The machines are either used as standalone machines or in a chain with expansion of the honeycomb cores, glue / glue application, lamination and press.
Dispersion adhesives, which are applied with grooved rollers, are mostly used on our systems.
This can be done either in the direction of travel or in reverse.
You are welcome to try it in advance at our technical center . If necessary, simply contact us and make an appointment with us in Oberkochen.
