A flow coater is a tool used in many industrial processes that is commonly used to apply a liquid coating or finish to a surface in a controlled and consistent manner. It is also referred to as a flow coating machine or flow application system. It is frequently used on a variety of surfaces, including metal, wood, plastics, glass, and more, for tasks including painting, varnishing, and providing protective coatings.
A stream of paint runs down in the form of a thin curtain (or film) of a fixed width, and the workpiece is painted as a conveyor carries it under the stream.
We take complete turnkey paint shop projects that cover fully automated installations with painting booths, drying ovens, robots and reciprocators along with paint distribution systems.
Features
Economical, resource-efficient coating equipment without wasteful use of paint
Beautiful paint surface with uniformly smooth finish
High-speed coating at conveyor speeds of 40 to 120 m/min
Hygienic working environment with no paint mist
The double-head type flow coater can use two-component paint as well
Easy to handle; no special coating skill required
Usable Types of Liquid
Paint
Adhesive
Striping Agent
Photosensitising Agent
Print Processing Fluid/Dye
Others
Pump
Packing-less centrifugal pump with no sliding part
The pump motor is of the safety-enhanced explosion-proof type
The pump motor is controlled by an inverter
The flow rate is displayed in digital form, allowing numerical control and high repeatability
The paint filter chamber is located outside, making it easy to clean and replace the filter
The filter bypass makes it easy to inspect, maintain, and replace paint (except FL-3SG/W3G)
The paint container can be detached and attached easily, and it is also easy to change paint
The paint container has a structure that allows smooth paint circulation
Head
The head can be opened and closed easily, and it is also easy to clean the inside of the head
FL-S3G/W3G head is of the hinge type, and FL-S6G/W6G and FL-S12G/W12G are of the horizontal slide type
FL-S6G/W6G and FL-S12G/W12G use an air cylinder to drive opening and closing motions, which allows the head to be opened and closed with a one-touch operation
The head space is properly set by a constant-pressure device and a stopper mechanism, which always provides a stable level of repeatability regardless of the operator
The slit can be fine-tuned anywhere across the entire width of the paint curtain
The paint capacity of the head is small, ensuring the amount of remaining paint is small
Conveyor
The conveyor speed is the key point in determining the paint film thickness
The conveyor speed can be adjusted in a fine-grained manner through inverter control
Direct speed readings are available
The conveyor uses an urethane resin belt
Dirt can be wiped off easily with thinner
The meandering motion of the belt can be adjusted with the take-up method of the crown mechanism
