In paint plants with a large number of different paints, from which only a
smaller number of paints (subset) is to be used per time interval (e.g. per day),
it makes sense to install paint changers with a smaller number of inputs and
supply the paint changer only with the respective required paints.
A standard paint changer must be pressed out, rinsed and
pre-charged before changing to a new paint. This serial process causes
unwanted work breaks and requires environmentally and costly disposal
of solvent-rinsed paints.
The APSON Lacquer Changer LCN-2008 Newtable allows almost
complete recovery of paint residues in the paint lines. It is a modular,
expandable switch for pressurized, chemically aggressive work materials.
It offers a high material throughput and, due to the construction and the
dead-space-free APSON valve technology, allows very good flushability
of the paints supply system.
This paint changer type is available for special applications also with
several independent output channels. With two-channel paint changers, economic
A-B systems can be realized. These enable coating processes
without breaks, because the inactive part of the system can be used
to recover the residual paint and be pre-loaded with new paint while
the other part of the system is producing.
Environmental carefully due to the regain of the lacquer media
and short rinsing times.
Deadroom-free valves and rinsing- and throughput-optimized medium channels.
Cost-saving due to minimized medium consumption.
High throughput and very good rinsing barness.
Simplest handling at assembling and maintenance.
Consists of inoxidable steel, thus durably and corrosion resistant.
Scalable for the desired number of media.
Insensitive to caustic solutions and weak acids.
3. Structure & Function
^^ to top
The APSON LCN-2008 consists of a selectable number of
piggable switch blocks, a paint changer endblock for the work material outlet,
and a replaceable APSON Puls Cleaner or APSON Turbo Cleaner.
Each switch block has two screw sockets for pneumatically controllable
APSON 2/2-way Paint Valves LV-200x. Thus, two channels per block can
independently switch through to the common channel.
The paint changer blocks have at each end of the outlet channel a seal
for sealing the adjacent blocks and two pins for centering the blocks
during assembly of the paint changer.
Legend: I = paint changer, II = rinse block/cleaner,
C1 to Cn = paint changer blocks (color), K = outlet channel, A = compressed air,
S = solvent (solvent), T = (turbo-)mixer, D = collector container (dump).
During the rinsing cycle, the cleaner/rinsing block alternately feeds several
times solvent and compressed air into the common channel of the switch blocks
of the paint changer. The paint changer is preferably mounted with the
cleaner block at the top.
