Perfect filling for quality in the paint and coatings industry

In the world of paints and varnishes, perfection and a clear process are essential: each stage of production influences the next and therefore the quality of the end product. Every parameter plays an important role - whether viscosity, adhesion or gloss. However, the filling and decanting process is the important final stage of your production. If weaknesses occur here, this can quickly affect the quality of the filling and ruin all previous efforts. That's why we offer you the first-class equipment you need to ensure that your end product meets expectations.

Our target is to help you master the challenges of production and filling. We are very familiar with your industry and are always at your side with our knowledge and experience.

Examples of typical application processes:

Requirement: 

A customer required a pneumatically operated pump to empty tanks with a volume of 200 liters. ATEX design.

  • Medium: Printing inks, varnishes and related materials used in the professional printing industry
  • Immersion depth: 1000 mm
  • Special requirements: Suitable for handling demanding liquids such as printing inks and varnishes
  • Safety requirement:  ATEX design to ensure operation in potentially explosive atmospheres

 

Solution:

We offered the customer the following solution in an ATEX-compliant design:

  • Motor: Air motor type D600, explosion-proof ATEX Ex II 2 G c, for safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres (item no. 520-0016)
  • Pumping unit: Sealless stainless steel pumping unit DL-Niro-A-1000, which also meets the requirements of the ATEX standard and is ideal for handling printing inks and paints  (item no. 691-0002)
  • Accessories:
    • Stainless steel hose connector, DN25 for a reliable connection  (item no. 825-0012)
    • Potential equalization cable that provides additional safety in ATEX areas  (item no. 815-0005)

 

Description:

Our solution meets all requirements for emptying tanks containing printing inks and paints in potentially explosive atmospheres:

  • Customer benefits:
    • The stainless steel pumping unit offers chemical resistance to printing inks and paints.
    • The ATEX design ensures maximum safety when used in areas where explosive atmospheres may occur.
  • Flexibility:
    • The immersion depth of 1000 mm makes the pump ideal for tanks up to 200 liters.
  • Safety:
    • The pneumatic drive prevents ignition hazards that could occur with electric drives.
    • The equipotential bonding cable minimizes the risk of electrostatic discharges and increases operational safety in ATEX environments.
