Nordson leads the way in innovative powder coating technologies, applications and solutions.
Improving Powder Coating Quality and Productivity
Sistemas Limobel, Pozuelo de Calatrava (Spain) improved finish and increased productivity in the metal furniture industry with dense phase powder coating technology with minimal downtime and paint savings with high quality finish.
Nordson’s patented HDLV® pumps, called Encore HD Pump, use dense-phase technology with high-density powder, lowvelocity air to pump more powder to the spray gun with a minimum of air, and maximum process control. This results in superior efficiency, unmatched coverage, and reliable self-clean color change, boosting productivity and reducing operating costs.

“In addition to all this, we have a logistics infrastructure that guarantees us complete independence from external suppliers and Machine Translated by Google The latest investment has been in the powder coating plant: the existing line has been updated with the latest Nordson dense phase transport powder coating technology, including a ColorMax®3 rapid color change booth, a Spectrum HD powder center, HDLV® pumps for product application, and Encore HD® guns and a total control of the quality and of the production and delivery terms".
From Manual to Dense Phase Automatic
''Dense-phase powder transport technology ensures better process control and better finish quality, consistency, and repeatability,” explains José Luis Higueras, Nordson Industrial Coating Systems Sales Representative.
“Decennial experience in dense phase paint technology has taught us that it is the most suitable solution for applications that require high quality consistency. The production of office furniture is illustrative. The production of office furniture is an example, as Sistemas Limobel was already our client with the previous manual application systems and when they asked us what the appropriate technology was to guarantee the increase in quality in the application of the new coating products, we recommended the automation of the coating, the speed of color changes, we had no hesitation in proposing dense phase technology to them.”
Better, faster and more economical
For Sistemas Limobel, the introduction of the dense phase application system has meant an important technological leap.
"We have gone from the manual application of powder paint to the most advanced technology currently on the market," says Juan Carmelo Martín Chacón. New paint booth has eight reciprocator-mounted guns. ''Automating the application has allowed us to reduce manual retouching of the product to a minimum, especially on the outside of the furniture.''
"Another objective that we set ourselves was to recover the paint during the color change because with the previous manual system we worked without recovering it," continues Juan Carmelo Martín Chacón from Limobel Systems. We normally carry out six to ten color changes per day, with an average time of seven minutes, thanks to the fact that the HDLV® pumps allow many of the system's cleaning phases to be carried out automatically.
Nordson HDLV Dense Phase Technology
Coating deep recess components has become much easier due to the soft powder cloud of the HDLV® dense phase technology. The products are not only coated on the front, but also the top and side surfaces are coated as well.
