AccuCoat® Heated Spray System Eliminates Viscous Coating Application Problems
Description
A low pressure spray system designed for applying heated viscous coatings such as chocolate has been released by Spraying Systems Co. The AccuCoat Heated Spray System provides precise temperature control and accurate application of the coating solution on the target with minimal waste. The AccuCoat System uses closed-loop temperature control to ensure liquid temperature is maintained and waste caused by coatings that are too warm or too cool is eliminated. The system controller monitors multiple temperature sensors and makes automatic adjustments as needed to maintain the desired temperature. Liquid lines and spray nozzles are fully jacketed; air lines can be heated as well if needed. Unlike high pressure spray systems where misting and overspray result in waste of the coating material and excessive clean-up, the AccuCoat System applies a precise volume of the liquid to the target with minimal excess. Waste, maintenance downtime and labor costs are reduced. The AccuCoat Heated Spray System is designed to maximize production. The system automatically adjusts for line speed changes and allows multiple batch modes to be preset, eliminating the need for manual intervention between batches. Common uses for the AccuCoat System include spraying chocolate, sugar slurries, oils and other ingredients and barriers on a wide range of products.
