Coating dispensing system IMCoatec

Sheet molded compounds (SMC) body parts must have a perfect surface finish for subsequent painting. For this purpose, manual pretreatment with a carrier material is often carried out, which on the one hand is very time-consuming and on the other hand can be problematic in terms of quality. Alternatively, automatic spray systems are used, which in turn increases investment costs. In-mold coating (IMC) with IMCoatec is an automated and reproducible process that brings a high-quality Class A surface to SMC components while reducing average production costs. IMCoatec is a single-component injection coating system that enables a chemical bond between the SMC and IMC materials and offers other benefits: Weight reduction Complex design geometries Corrosion resistance Sensors and antennas can become invisible (no shark fins on the roof) Benefits Automated coating injection eliminates costly mold pretreatment Reliable and reproducible production of Class A surfaces Simple operation and handling Also allows injection of top coat materials Easy integration into SMC production lines Configurable with one or two injection valves Specifications Length - 2,640 mm Width - 1,400 mm Height - 2,240 mm Dosing Volume - up to 500 cm³ Gear ratio of the metering unit - 4:1 Max. injektion pressusre - 400 bar Theor. pressure with closed valve - 2,400 bar Operating voltage - 3x 400 VAC + N + PE Frequency - 50 Hz Power ratin (total) - 15.4 kVA Weight - approx. 1,400 kg
