Protection, functionality and individuality

Wet grinding technology plays a crucial role in meeting the high demands and customer requirements in automotive paint production. It enables the production of paints that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also meet the high technical standards required for automotive painting.

Whether clear coat, base coat, filler or primer - with our agitator bead mills you can efficiently achieve fine particle sizes and particle distributions - for brilliant colors, long-lasting gloss and flawless adhesion as well as scratch resistance for the ultimate vehicle aesthetics.

Coatings in automotive repair must offer color accuracy, fast drying and durability. Seamless integration, adhesion and environmental friendliness are also critical. The coatings even out surface irregularities and are chemical resistant to ensure long-term protection.

Our agitator bead mills help to ensure that the coatings used in car repairs meet high quality standards and fulfill both aesthetic and functional requirements. The homogeneous distribution and grinding of the particles is what makes efficient formulations and precise compositions possible in the first place.

Coil coating involves the application of coatings to rolled metal strips, which are later processed into various products such as roof panels, façade cladding, household appliances and more. The coating materials must not only provide a visually appealing surface, but must also be resistant to corrosion, weathering and mechanical stress.

Our agitator bead mills enable precise control of the particle size and distribution of the coating materials. Crushing and dispersing the materials ensures a uniform coating thickness and quality.

This application is extremely exciting because wood is used as a natural material in every conceivable area of life. The requirements vary more than with almost any other paint application: There is a world of difference between exterior painting and painting children's toys!

An exterior coating must first and foremost protect the wood from the effects of the weather. In addition, aesthetic issues play an important role: should the wood grain be completely covered or is a certain transparency desired?

By choosing the right grinding parameters, for example, you can control the gloss and transparency of the wood varnish in a targeted manner. Depending on the choice of pigmentation, the particle distribution also increases the UV resistance.

When formulating children's toy coatings, the regulations drastically reduce the choice of ingredients. The focus is therefore on producing a coating that meets all legal requirements.

Marine coatings are specially developed coatings used on ships and marine structures to protect them from corrosion, abrasion and impact loads, seawater, UV radiation, fresh and salt water, fuels and various chemicals, algae infestation and temperature fluctuations.

In the marine coatings industry, wet grinding is used to incorporate pigments, fillers and other additives into liquid binders. This enables the production of coatings with an even distribution of components and optimized performance.

In addition to the chemical requirements, the surface properties are also important: for example, the surface structure of the paint has a major influence on the frictional resistance of the ship's surface when navigating through water. Wet grinding to finer grain sizes can reduce frictional resistance - and lower the ship's energy consumption. It is therefore important that the surfaces remain as smooth as possible and free of algae and shellfish. This is achieved by adding so-called antifouling additives.

Textiles are coated for various reasons to improve their aesthetic, functional and protective properties. Due to the homogeneous comminution and dispersing with our agitator bead mills down to the nano range, we enable an even distribution of the coating on the textile fibers.

High-quality packaging coatings must meet a wide range of requirements: They protect against environmental influences, lend aesthetics, increase durability and optimize the presentation of the product. Whether corrosion protection, brand identity or functionality, our agitator bead mills play a central role in the elaboration of particle properties.

Grinding & Dispersion Technology

Powder coating is an important process in surface coating technology. This approach is used to achieve a uniform and high quality coating on various substrates. Our agitator bead mills enable better dispersion of powder particles, resulting in improved adhesion and tack to surfaces, smooth and uniform coatings, and different color and texture variations. Our agitator bead mills produce powder coatings with improved filling and flow properties, resulting in a more uniform, efficient coating and reduced dust generation.

Mixing Technology

Powder coating is a surface coating process in which a dry powder material is applied to a substrate. Our 3D shaker mixer is used to mix powders or granules homogeneously to achieve an even distribution of particles.
