Compound Lining Gun Control
LST22 solenoid driver can be used to control electro-pneumatic guns on static compound lining machines
Gain considerable improvement in the consistency and precision of electro-pneumatic gun triggering on static compound lining machines by using the LST22 high speed solenoid driver.
- Maximize liner efficiency
- Minimize compound extrusions
- Better sealant placement
- Improve product quality
- Reduce downtime from contamination
- Reduce waste
- Lower costs
Compound lining on formed ends needs to be precisely
timed with sharp, clean triggering and cut-off, otherwise it
can leave residual compound extrusions or “tailing”. This is not only wasteful of expensive sealant,
it can also cause contamination problems and machine
downtime further down the line.
Mechanical guns are particularly vulnerable to this sort of
problem because they are difficult to control
with precision. Electro-pneumatic guns
with an accompanying solid state solenoid driver give
better control over sealant placement and improved end
product quality. Sencon’s LST22
spray timer is ideally suited to maximise the efficiency
of electro-pneumatic guns on stationary end
liners.
Originally developed to overcome solenoid latency on internal spray applications
for beverage cans, the LST22 uses a carefully calibrated application
of power to the solenoid to deliver tight and consistent opening and
closing of the gun nozzle.
