Hennecke has introduced a machine line that can handle color wear and quickly change colors while coating injection molded components.
This plug-and-play system, called Color Line Multi-Connect, allows for surface casting and rapid, clean discoloration with polyurethane and polyurea.
Hennecke said the new machine can inject injection molded parts using the 'Polyurethane Color Coating System' by using different color and pigment effects, such as sheet metal, with few design flaws. '
The company said in an essay that this is possible because of the "systematic distribution of isocyanates and the color management of different modules."
It added that the Color Line unit was designed to be mounted as a fixed isocyanate unit on an injection molding machine and is used with the Multi Connect color module and its own heater.
Hennecke said Multi Connect has a compact, mobile bay design that offers up to seven color modules simultaneously, each operating independently and connected to an isocyanate station that controls color modules.
Each color module is equipped with its own Henneker MN 8 MC-type mixing head. 'This ensures that each color is circulated in its own system and does not mix in the color change, Hennecke added. The color change Can be done in 15 minutes without the need for cleaning.
The two-part Color Line and Multi Connect system offers great layout flexibility and the modular system scales easily.
Hennecke said the system is expected to be used in the automotive and consumer goods sectors.
