Nordson Corporation has introduced their new ColorMax 2 engineered powder coating system.
The new, fully integrated system incorporates features that ensure fast, contamination-free colour change, easy installation and trouble-free maintenance, allowing powder coaters to increase productivity and line efficiency.
“The ColorMax 2 system is the latest-generation of Nordson’s contamination-free, fast color change powder systems,” explains Bob Allsop, North American marketing manager for Nordson Powder Coating.
“We’ve incorporated features that are evolutionary – like the breakaway cyclone that takes our ‘if you can see it, you can clean it’ philosophy to the next level. But, we’ve also added in many revolutionary features, including the ability to install and clean the booth more easily than ever before.
“Minimizing powder in the booth – and making whatever powder remains easy to clean – is one of the keys to fast, contamination-free colour change,” he says.
With the ColorMax 2 system, all powder contact surfaces, including the Nordson breakaway cyclone, are accessible for easy cleaning and visual inspection. The patent-pending dual cyclone enables the upper and lower sections to be disconnected for thorough cleaning.
With most powders, the interior surface of the cyclone can be cleaned with just a compressed air wand. Splitting the upper and lower cyclone sections helps make this easier and more effective. With the breakaway cyclone, you can actually “see, clean and touch” the entire interior surface to make absolutely certain it is clean.
In addition, the ColorMax 2 booth features a non-conductive canopy for minimal powder attraction and retention. Constructed with patented Apogee composite material, the booth’s is designed for minimal powder in process and faster colour change. Less attraction also means less powder to clean during colour change and easier removal of the powder from the canopy using only compressed air.
The stainless steel booth floor provides maximum durability and grounding of operators during cleaning for safety.
