WOLF INNOVATION DFM1- ON LINE DYNAMIC DRY FILM INSTRUMENT

CAN'T JUSTIFY CAPITAL IN THESE TOUGH ECONOMIC TIMES?

DFM1 WILL DRAMATICALLY IMPROVE YOUR BOTTOM LINE IN THE 1ST YEAR

Production data collected on a line operated by a major international coil coater showed an unexpectedly broad distribution of coating thickness. Most of us think we are doing well when it comes to coating thickness control but the truth is that none of us collect enough lab quality data during production to really know how much paint is being applied. Consistency throughout a coil may drift due to changes in roll pressures or speeds, paint viscosity, volume solids, and temperature amongst other factors. Until now there has not been a fast and convenient (and calibration free) lab quality, real time thickness measurement system. Wolf's fully programmable on line dry film instrument (DFM1) provides fast accurate measurements allowing you to tune your thickness to an unprecedented degree. We track changes of less than 0.01 mils (0.2 microns) enabling you to set up your coater to that level of accuracy.

WE'VE IDENTIFIED PAINT SAVINGS OF 5 TO 8%. A PAYBACK OF 3 TO 6 MONTHS IS REALISTIC


WE WILL SOON ISSUE A NEWS BULLETIN COVERING –

  • COMPLETION OF A MAJOR US BASED DFM1 INSTALLATION

  • THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE OUR PROTOTYPE DFM1 WITH MAJOR SAVINGS – HOWEVER ONLY ONE IS AVAILABLE,

  • LAUNCH OF THE SECOND GENERATION DFM1 FEATURING NEW SOFTWARE, SYNRAD’S FIRESTAR V40 LASER, AND OPTIMISED AUTOMATED THICKNESS MONITORING
