Already supplying a wide range of agitators for paints, resins, chemicals and other fluids, B.S.C. Teknik now also offers air operated agitators for pressure tanks and drums of up to 200 litres. The new range of vertical 200 litre agitators with 3 kW air motor (direct drive) are suitable for low to high viscosity materials. This type completes the existing range of 10, 20, 40 and 60 litre agitators.

Low speed avoids material degradation

Speed can be adjusted in a range of 500-6,000 RPM for the smaller agitators and 300-3,000 RPM for the larger ones, incl. the new 200 litre agitator. All sizes are suitable for a maximum operating pressure of 7 bar (100 psi). As an option the 200 litre agitator comes with a gear-reducer to bring the speed down to 15-150 RPM. This low speed reduces material degradation to a minimum and improves quality of the stirred material. Different agitator designs are available like manual type (colloquially also called quick mixer), pale mounted, bung, C-clamp for rim mounting or in connection with a pressure tank/pressure pot. Wide, full-width impellers (blades/propellers) in different designs provide thoroughly mixing of the material, minimizing leftover sediment at the bottom of the pressure tank or drum. Air motors from 0.25 kW to 3 kW are employed, which are also available separately.

Air operated agitators for a wide range of applications

Beside air operated, also electric and hydraulic driven agitators are available in the market. Especially in the field of paints, mainly air operated agitators are used due to safety, cost reasons and easy maintenance. Agitators are typically used in the wood industry, metal fabrication, automotive and of course painting.

A new design eliminates the needle and spring valve which is replaced by a single piece spray valve. The new Binks PitBull gun is available in 3500 and 7500 PSI versions. The Wear parts in the spray valve are made of Tungsten Carbide. Spray valve design reduces spitting, trigger pull, and fatigue while lasting up to twice as long as guns with needles.Click www.binks.com for more information.

Formeco srl (Italy), represented in Thailand by B.S.C. Teknik (www.bsc-teknik.com), is the world-wide leader in the field of systems for the treatment of solvents, water and acids. Over the last 30 years Formeco installed world-wide more than 35,000 machines, i.e. solvent recovery systems, water evaporators and fractional distillation plants.

The distillers for solvent recovery are divided into the DIstatic, DYnamic and Industrial models.

The DIstatic series are cost-effective distillers which allow the recycling and the re-use of degreasing and washing solvents. A distillation process separates the contaminants, like paints, resins, polymers, pigments and oils, from the original solvent. The process is very effective: The contaminated solvent is brought to its boiling point by a peripheral heating jacket filled with diathermic oil, which is heated by an electrical element. The arising vapours are conveyed to a condenser which is cooled either by air or water. The condensed and recovered solvent is then collected in a tank for its reuse. The units are available with a capacity of 7 – 12 – 25 – 60 – 120 – 180 litres. This series can be connected to a vacuum unit in order to bring down the boiling point of high boiling solvents. Vacuum is also needed for flammable solvents which have a close boiling point and flash point.

The DYstatic series work after the same distillation process but has a rotating scraper with adjustable metallic blades which keeps the contaminated solvent in constant movement allowing maximum extraction of the residues. An automatic drying cycle allows the residues to be extracted in solid or powder state. The units are available in 30 – 60 – 120 litres capacity. Vacuum units are also available as an option.

The Industrial units aim at high capacity of 150, 250, 400, 600 and 1000 litres per batch and can also be equipped with a rotating scraper (optional) for the same purpose as in the DYstatic serie. The boiler, built with 8mm AISI 304 stainless steel, guarantees high resistance and long working life. The with purpose over dimensioning of the geometric capacity, in respect to the maximum load level, allows a perfect separation of solvents from contaminants, and reduces possible entrainments to a minimum.

SimSpray is a training appliance created to improve traditional spray coating skills training. Designed to simulate the painting process, the student selects a work piece, paint color, and air pressure settings on the touch screen monitor. The user dons a custom helmet that shows a three dimensional virtual rendering of the work piece in an augmented reality environment. With a modified high-volume/low-pressure (HVLP) spray gun in hand, the user can adjust the spray pattern, trigger the gun, and begin to apply the first coat of virtual paint.

Due to numerous customer enquiries the company Erichsen (www.erichsen.de) in Germany has developed another chip stone testing device, the so-called “Multi Grit Tester 508 SAE”, for the standardized simulation of falling rock (rock slip). It is very suitable for the testing of body coatings in the automotive industry. More information -click here-

The small size of only 83 mm × 46 mm × 30 mm allows instant gloss meansuring also on very small and difficult-to-reach areas, according to the company Phynix (www.phynix.de).There is a wide range of applications for the measuring of gloss: marble, granite and ceramic plates, and paint on paper and plastic parts. No cable is needed for this battery-operated device (up to 10,000 measurements). The „GlossFix 60“ is also suitable for outdoor use and can be operated at temperatures between -10 und +60 °C. Measuring data can be transfered to a computer via USA or RS232 interface. More information: www.phynix.de
