6: Machine for adhesives for converting

Low pressure machine designed to mix two-component solvent-less adhesives used in the laminating machine used in the flexible packaging films production. The unit was designed to solve all the problems connected with the two component adhesive dispensing in the laminating plant. Thanks to our patent, the customer knows exactly the consumption of adhesive even when the line is running at a speed of over than 400mt/min so to grant the correct adhesion of the layers in the production of flexible films. The challenging idea was to grant a precise control of the quantity of dispensed adhesive even when a quantity of lower than 2gr/m² is required! Furthermore, thanks to our experience, the maintenance of the unit is highly reduced down to few minutes a day: nothing compared to the huge amount of time needed by competitors machines in this field!

5: Plant for gluing panels for refrigerated trucks – two side-by-side rows of tables –

This unit has been specifically designed for dispensing adhesive for bonding large sandwich panels that are used for the construction of refrigerated trucks and isothermal vans for industrial and commercial vehicles. The bonding technique ensures a homogeneous structure, with an excellent thermal coefficient as well as a great flexibility in production, allowing producing panels of different sizes at the same time and faster and cheaper than other techniques. Another important advantage is the reduced cost compared to other production systems, both in terms of first capital investment required and of running production costs. The system provides a gluing unit in a fixed position and the mobile dispensing traverse that moves on the preparation tables arranged in line. This line has been specially designed for those with two rows of side-by-side tables; in this way, the machine is fixed while the distribution traverse rotates 180 ° so to move the mixing head from one table to the next one aside. The dispensing is fully automatic, ensuring perfect distribution of the glue according to what is programmed. The machine is extremely reliable even in the most demanding working conditions. The unit is generally supplied with flow meters with closed loop control, in order to guarantee the supply of glue always at the required ratio: this guarantees a perfect adhesion as well as the dispensing of the required amount of glue on each panel! After the first pass of adhesive, the operators lay the necessary insulation and / or reinforcements and then the system automatically delivers the second adhesive pass on the slabs just laid down, allowing then to put the just glued panels under vacuum. As soon as the work is finished on a table, the automatic system is ready to be rotated on the table next to start the new processing cycle according to a new program.

The supply is completed by the traverse unit which moves the two dispensing heads and allow both spraying and poker dispensing or a combination of both. Thanks to the extreme efficiency of the mixing, there is a great saving of adhesive – at same gluing mechanical characteristics – allowing a quick pay-back on the investment. In the below photos you can see both spray and poker application. Remember that Tec Mac was the first in the world in designing a two-component adhesive machine and still the first in the world in designing a machine suitable for two-component adhesive with filler!

1: Primer plant for PIR panels.

This unit has been specifically designed for the dispensing of primer for the production of PIR panels. It is well known that PIR formulations have adhesion problems, especially on the lower sheet; for this reason, the application of a primer as an adhesion promoter becomes a must to guarantee the production of perfect sandwich panels that do not delaminate. For this reason, we have specifically designed this unit for the application of primer, both on continuous and discontinuous lines. The machine is extremely reliable even in the most demanding working conditions. The unit is generally supplied with flow meters with closed loop control, in order to guarantee the delivery of primer always at the required ratio. Furthermore, this allows connecting the total flow of our machine to the speed of the customer’s line, so as to guarantee the correct coverage of the sheet at all times, even when the panel thicknesses change during production. The unit has been designed with the minimum foot-print, so to be easily positioned and implemented even on existing lines, really with minimum effort and in very short time. In addition, the special design of the dispensing system allows a real continuous production for hours without clogging, with NO stop of production to change/alternate the dispensing device, as happens with systems of less qualified and less specialized competitors.
