Automated coating control
Increasing requirements from foundry applications such as thinner wall sections, complex internal geometries and new alloys, are driving the demand for high-performance coatings. However, high performance coatings need to be applied consistently to achieve best possible results on a repeatable basis.
Poor application control can undermine coating performance and can in some instances lead to excessive scrap or rectification work. Hence Foseco has developed a new range of equipment that is designed to optimise coating application.
The product range
- ICU-Pro: the ‘mother’ unit on which all subsequent ICU units are based
- Integrated ICU: integratable with customer dip tanks
- Modular ICU: a lower-cost solution for foundries with limited space or that want a tailored solution
- Continuous ICU: to serve multiple end users without the need for a buffer tank
'The ICU is suitable for all application methods, including spraying, dipping and flow coating and can be connected to all major packaging systems, from drums to bulk silos.'
