Objective
The strategic objective of the project is to make powder coating technology available to a much broader range of industry by developing a novel cardan chain track for floor conveyor system which protects the chain against the paint powder in powder spray cabins and allows for easy spray booth cleaning when colours will be changed This is currently not possible due to the geometrics and electrostatically earthed situation of standard chain floor conveyors. The aim of this project is to develop a novel chain floor conveyor system for powder application. CFC systems consist of a chain track with an integrated cardan chain running through the track. The chain in some cases also is equipped with pusher dogs into which the anchor of the carrier is hooked. The chain transports the loaded carrier throughout the entire production line.
The PROTECC system to be developed will be totally new and special track, which will be de-signed as following: - Double skinned track to implement a wind curtain protection - Application of an electrically load to the track to stop powder sticking to the track - Outer skin of the double skinned track made of a not metallic material to avoid powder sticking to the track The prime industrial / economic objectives of the PROTECC project are: - Development of a novel technique that will enable the replacement of traditional liquid painting technology by a more environmentally friendly one - Up to 95 % recovery of the overspray powder for reuse - Increased productivity due to reduction of costs inherent to the replacement of liquid coating technology (i.e. less waste disposal cost) - Rapide (< 15 min) change of colours possible - Design of a flexible system especially affordable for SMEs...
