Trickle Coat Systems
Trickle coat systems are designed to apply varnish or epoxy onto parts as they are held and rotated. Resin is dispensed over the part in specific locations at controlled volumes and flow rates. As a result, resin can be applied very accurately with little or no excess resin lost or coating deposited on the part in an undesirable areas. PLC’s and linear motion actuators are used to accurately locate varnish trickle heads and to automatically adjust trickle head positions for varying part sizes. HeatTek will work with your coating supplier to develop the correct coating volumes, rotational speeds, and preheat and cure temperatures and times for the parts being processed. HeatTek trickle systems are used by automotive component manufacturers, power tool manufacturers, and small motor manufacturers.
