Doesn’t matter if PUR, XPS or EPS, Axel Wirth Maschinen produces machines and plants for the coating of foam material. This includes plants for the production of:
Usually it’s about adhesive application or gluing processes. For this often times the dosing roller machine type DWO is used. Especially in the foam material area, shear force sensitive glues are common. Often times this affects the dashboard-, mattress-, car seat or padded furniture industry. Therefor Axel Wirth Maschinen GmbH developed several solutions together with the glue manufacturers.
Besides the application without development of shear force, also the supply of glue is solved on a considerate level. But also in the area of insulation material we had some homework to solve.
Applying cold PU glue to glue foam material and aluminum. With an open time of 40 minutes we’re able to process the PU glues with our LW 100 and LW 120. The rubber of the rollers is specially produced, so that the PU glue’s cleaners won’t damage the rubber.
Functional coatings are often being used in the area of insulation materials, which are water-based, but has it’s drawbacks with having a fast drying and granularity. Foam material manufacturers from several countries rely on the experience and quality of Axel Wirth Maschinen since many years.
Of course you can test your requirements in our technical center and recreate your processes on our laboratory plants.
With the development of products becoming increasingly specialized and unique, more special packaging is needed. The packaging industry is supplying this demand with more and more sophisticated packaging technology. Therefor, often machines of Axel Wirth Maschinen come into use. Depending on the type of implementation, 3 different roller coater systems can come into use. Our LW 100, LW 120 or the dosage roller machine DWO.
Current instances of application are for example:
The individualization of products brings new requirements for special packaging. In the times of internet trade this packaging is becoming even more important. Axel Wirth Maschinen has developed and delivered solutions for the above mentioned applications. Here the devil is in the details. Through our comprehensive pool of experience with connecting and gluing, we can also help you in your search for the right glue. Besides the requirements and guidelines for the consistency, there are other points to be into consideration, which at the first glance, might not be obvious. For example:
You have challenges with your packaging products? Then please get into contact with us, we would be glad to work out a concept with you, which is customized to your requirements.
Available as modular piece or as whole plant for the use of gloss paintwork on furniture edges, with an UV-dryer. The trend of gloss-painting plastic material edges still persists as strong as ever. As new addition the product range, Axel Wirth Maschinen developed a new method which is very reliable, delivers high stability in it‘s process and is also affordable. This technology is available as a single module or as complete plant for paintwork, featuring a dryer system for furniture edges with UV-gloss paint. This is based on the technology which we’ve already established on the market since some years. The optimization of our roller applicator type DDWO brought us a step closer to our goal. The further development of Axel Wirth’s paintwork technology now made it possible to create highly glossy surfaces with just a single application of paint, completely free of structure. Doesn‘t matter if smooth, embossed or brushed surfaces are to be coated. It also functions on all plastic material edges, wood, cork, tin, stainless steel and many other materials. We are using the know-how of over 30 years. The film of paint of course shouldn‘t be too thick, otherwise it would break when rolling-up. Since the production procedure of gloss paintwork is very complex in itself, it can only work in proper combination of mechanical engineering, roller specifications, speed, paint specifications and many other details and circumstances. Since we’re specialized and an expert in those matters, we can offer single stations for unit loads or coil. The spectrum of our goods and services includes the machinery for coating and can, if needed, also be winded and unwinded. We would be pleased to make a test with your base materials and paints in our testing facility.
Our machines have previously already been used to apply glue on tiles, but mainly in manufacturing works. This time, we’ve arrived in the industry. With exact process times, automatic weighing and handling robots.
Usually, the requirement is, to apply as few as possible onto the material. But this time it’s different.
We have achieved, to apply 1,5kg / m². It was a bit special.
The constant supply of glue was our biggest challenge here. We got to know new components, which were quite rustic in their composition and in their fine-tuning. But we managed it, our machine pumped the viscous glue amounts continuously into itself and the safety of production was absolutely given.
The requirements for the stoneware and tile industry are very different than those of the wood industry, that’s why our machines had a hard task, which they mastered.
Besides glues, paints and print primers, our customers also process stone impregnations and lotus effect pastes on stoneware. This also worked on stone boards with deep bevels.
If you have coating work to do, feel free to request your needs to us. We have solutions for most cases.
