Automatic dispensing system for sandwich panel production

BARKVALL 3600

Barkvall 3600 is an automatic machine system for pumping, dosing and dispensing 1 or 2 component adhesives such as Polyurethane and Epoxy. The system is designed for sandwich panel production such as truck bodies, caravans and Structural insulated panels (SIP), where an even and accurate adhesive spreading is required. Barkvall 3600 helps to increase production speed, reduce material waste and improve the working environment for the operator.

 

DUAL-SIDED WORKSTATION

The machine moves on rails which make it possible to extend the working tables to secure for future upscaling of production. Due to the arm with 180° turn function, it’s possible to have working tables on both sides of the machine. The arm is rotated with a wireless remote control and the operator can work at the table as the machine moves forward or is operating on the opposite table.

 

APPLICATION OF ADHESIVE

The adhesive is applied with a moving spreader according to a chosen recipe. Each recipe can be stored and are easily accessed when needed on the operator panel.

The spreader and mixer are disposable and can be thrown after use, meaning the operator never has to handle solvents to flush the system and end of day cleaning is quick and simple. If a metal spreader, with a solvent flushing system, is desired the machine can be equipped with this solution instead.

 

A RELIABLE PUMP AND METERING UNIT

It’s possible to use both 200L drum and/or IBC container for the material handling. The pump and metering system is based on Aplicators renowned Barkvall 3200, a reliable pneumatic driven system which has been on the market for decades. The system has automatic control of material flow and coat weight.

 

 

All data and characteristics mentioned in this booklet are by way of example only. Given flow capacities and material pressure are depending of; inlet air pressure, material viscosity, the hose dimensions and other equipment fitted after the pump outlet. Aplicator Group reserves the right to modify the products without prior notice.
