Nordson Introduces the Encore HD Mobile Powder Spray System at FABTECH
AMHERST, OH, November 3, 2015 – Nordson Corporation (NASDAQ-NDSN), a recognized market leader in powder coating application technologies, will launch its newest manual powder coating system – the Encore HD mobile spray system – at the FABTECH 2015. FABTECH, North America’s largest metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing event, will be held at McCormick Place in Chicago, Ill., from November 9-12. Nordson will exhibit the Encore HD mobile system in booth S5324, and will also feature other powder coating, liquid spray and UV curing technologies.
The Encore HD Mobile Spray System features Nordson’s fourth generation dense phase spray technology. High density, low velocity products are designed for superior process control. This allows the Encore HD mobile system to achieve a highly dense phase spray, a more diluted mixture, or anything in between. HD technology delivers a high concentration of powder, but uses very little air. As a result, it provides greater transfer efficiency, less overspray and superior cured finish quality for every conceivable part type. With a decade of experience, over 20 patents on Nordson HDLV® equipment, and more than 800 global HD installations, Nordson leads the industry in dense phase technology and expertise.
The Encore HD Mobile Spray System achieves all the benefits of dense phase powder spray technology in a powerful, mobile unit. Many Nordson customers are realizing the benefits of HD:
- Cut color change time by 50%.
- Capable of saving 45% in powder material.
- Outfitted to increase line speeds up to 65%.
- Applies more powder where needed, lowering the system’s total gun requirements.
- Provides relief to the operator with fewer painted strokes.
- Boost quality improvements by 20%.
“Nordson customers are realizing the real benefits behind HD technology,” says Kelly Gregart, product line manager, Nordson powder coating systems. “Compared to traditional venturi systems, the Encore HD mobile system gives you the best process control and lowest operating costs,” she says. “It’s a truly innovative system.”
The Encore HD Mobile Spray System provides a lightweight, well-balanced spray gun to make the painter’s job easier, on-gun controls for fast, easy adjustments, nozzles that are compatible with the entire Encore gun family (XT, LT and HD), and the ability to spray even the most challenging coating materials.
At FABTECH 2015, Nordson will feature its newest liquid painting technology, the Iso-Flo® VC unit. Nordson Iso-Flo voltage block systems provide an easy, safe cost-effective solution for electrostatically charged waterborne painting. The new Iso-Flo VC allows the operator to control the amount of coating volume contained within the Iso-Flo pump. This makes the VC configuration ideal for applications with small paint volume requirements or frequent color changes. For materials with heavy solids, the VC design lets the user set a volume that can be sprayed before settling of solids becomes a problem. The Iso-Flo VC system joins a complete family of manual and automatic liquid dispensing solutions from Nordson.
In addition, the XPS Electrostatic Power Supply will be shown at FABTECH. This system is designed to produce high voltage, low current power for the electrostatic charging of liquid coatings. Whether the application is waterborne (60 kV) or solventborne (115 kV), Nordson offers the standard and/or custom electrostatic modes for the most complex parts – with PLC compatible inputs available for even more functionality.
Finally, Nordson will display a full line of UV Curing technologies at the show, including the Cool Wave® 2 system. The Cool Wave system is a microwave-powered ultraviolet (UV) curing system designed for the most demanding production environments.
