Filling systems for paints and coatings
Precise filling processes for paints and coatings
Depending on their formulation, paints and coatings place different demands on the filling process. Viscosity, flow, foaming and dripping behavior, as well as product or color changeovers, influence how precisely, cleanly, and reliably a filling system operates in day-to-day production.
For production, this means that target fill volumes must be met accurately, product changeovers completed reliably, and different containers handled safely. FRICKE develops filling systems tailored to product characteristics, containers, fill volumes, the production environment, and the desired level of automation.
Typical requirements for paints and coatings
- Precise filling of products ranging from liquid to pasty
- Clean product handling across different viscosities and varying flow, foaming, and dripping behavior
- Reliable processes during product or color changeovers
- Flexible system concepts for different containers and fill volumes
- Consideration of safety requirements and the production environment
- Integration into existing production and packaging processes
FRICKE solutions for paints and coatings
The focus is on the precise and clean filling of paints, coatings, and varnishes ranging from liquid to paste-like consistencies. When designing systems, FRICKE takes into account product behavior, viscosity, flow, foaming, and dripping characteristics, the intended containers and fill volumes, the production environment, safety requirements, and the desired level of automation.
This results in customized system concepts – ranging from flexible single-station solutions to automated filling lines – that can be integrated into existing production and packaging processes.
For applications involving solvent-based or other flammable products, FRICKE filling systems can also be designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres in accordance with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU.
