Tapematic's PST Line I - Fully automated coating and metallization system
Three processes in one sealed automated production line
10.07.19
PST Line I is a
completely
self-contained
system for applying
a stable,
high-quality varnish
and metal coating to
packaging items
in-house with only
one operator. Its
robotic spray works
accurately
on-demand, using
less varnish and
producing far fewer
rejects, making it
extremely economical
and eco-friendly.
3 in 1:
Three processes in
one sealed automated
production
line
PST Line I applies a
UV base-coat, 3D
metallisation and a
UV top-coat together
in one processing
system. The line
consists of several
modules depending
upon the
configuration.
Modules
include:
Automatic loading
and unloading
Cleaning and
pre-treatment
Primer
UV Base coating
Sputtering
deposition
Decoration
UV top coating
The economical and
environmental
benefits of an
automated line
Fewer
materials
High solid UV
curable lacquer is
the new industry
standard, but it is
very expensive.
Traditional
always-on spraying
techniques use up to
80% more varnish.
With the PST Line I,
each 3D item can be
varnished
individually in as
little as 150
milliseconds with
minimum wastage.
Less
rejects
Consistent
controlled processes
ensure consistent
results with less
errors and
consistent quality
control. Built-in
ionization and Class
100 HEPA filtration
ensures that no
contamination enters
the process area;
therefore ensuring
guaranteed quality
in the production
process.
One
operator
The PST Line I
loading and
offloading are
linked by a fully
automated handling
system, with
precision
servomotors
controlling all
functions. The
process control is
monitored and
adjusted using a
user-friendly, touch
screen interface.
Even quality control
is carried out
automatically via a
HD camera and
identification
software.
Eco-friendly
PST Line 1 is
extremely efficient,
with much lower
energy consumption
than traditional
lines and much less
varnish. There is no
toxic wastewater to
process after
spraying or other
unnecessary waste
products. No toxic
chrome derivatives
are used in the
metallisation
process.
Customers who have
already installed
the PST Line I are
now being recognised
with Eco Awards
around the world.
With the use of high
solid UV varnish,
emissions are
minimised. It
eliminates the toxic
emissions associated
with the galvanic
process used in
chrome.
Furthermore thanks
to the innovative
spraying technology
the VOC emission are
drastically reduced
compared to
traditional spray
varnishing systems.
