The APSON Lacquer Changer 2008 N pertains to the class of media changers with media recovery.

Normal media changers and media distribution systems must be rinsing cleaned before switching to a new medium. The surplus of media resulting in such systems must be collected and be recycled at expensive monetary costs and environmental duties.

The APSON Lacquer Changer 2008 N consists of newtable valve switching blocks and allows full regain of the media through push-back of the media from the transportation tubes and lacquer changers into the media supply system. It offers large throughput of the medium and due to the construction and employed technology with deathroom-free APSON Lacquer Valves technology allows very good rinsing of the lacquer changer in conjunction with the media supply tubes and also the media output tubes.

The APSON Lacquer Changer 2008 N is well suited for employment in automatic systems with chemically aggressive media, e.g. lacquers, solvents, caustic solutions, a.o. Furthermore this type of lacquer changer can be also used as rinsable distributor (one inlet, several outlets) or as rinsable concentrator (several inlets, one outlet). It is is usable both for normal lacquers and metalic lacquers.

The Lacquer Changer 2008 N consists of:

• A selectable number of medium change-over switch blocks.
• A final medium change-over switch block for the medium outlet.
• An exchangeable APSON Pulse Cleaner or APSON Turbo Cleaner.

Each switching block has two screweable sockets for pneumatically controllable APSON 2/2-Ways Lacquer Valves 200x. Thus, per block, maximal two channels can be independently connected through to the central channel. The switching blocks have a seal at each end of the output channel for sealing the neighbouring blocks as well as two pins for centering the blocks when assembling the lacquer changer. The component parts are made of inoxidable steel.

During the rinsing cycle, the cleaner (II) feeds several times alternating for short periodes solvent and air into the central channels of the switching blocks of the lacquer changer (I). The lacquer changer is preferentially installed with the cleaner at the top.

The APSON Lacquer Changer 2008 N has the following capability characteristics:

• Environmental carefully due to the regain of the lacquer media and short rinsing times.
• Cost-saving due to minimized media consumption.
• High throughput and very good rinsing barness.
• Simplest handling when assembling and at maintenance.
• Very compact and suitable for close spatial relations.
• Deathroom-free valves and rinsing- and throughput-optimized medium channels.
• Consists of inoxidable steel, thus durably and corrosion resistant.
• Insensitive to caustic solutions and weak acids.
• Scalable for the desired number of media.
