Precision for paints, varnishes and coatings

Processing with the highest precision

Paints, coatings, and surface treatments often contain highly viscous, abrasive, or sensitive components. Accurate measurement of these materials is essential to avoid material loss and ensure uniform product quality. Air bubbles, temperature fluctuations, and multiphase flows pose additional challenges that conventional measurement devices struggle to handle.

In surface coating applications, precise and consistent application rates are crucial for high product quality. Uneven paint application can lead to material waste, rework, and inadequate protection of coated surfaces. Integrating reliable flow measurement technology is a key aspect of modern painting and coating systems.

 

 

Our Coriolis flow meters are used in various areas of the paint and coating industry – from production and mixing to application in industrial coating processes. Especially in demanding environments where aggressive chemicals or highly precise dosing are required, our systems provide reliable measurements and optimized processes.

 
Mixing and Production Processes

Ensuring the correct composition of paint formulations is critical for consistent colors and optimal processing. Rheonik flow meters enable precise control of raw material quantities, improving the consistency of final products.

 

Automated Spray and Coating System

Modern coating processes require rapid response times from measurement technology to minimize material waste and ensure uniform application. The high measurement accuracy and low maintenance requirements of our sensors make them the ideal solution for automated painting systems.

 

Paint Recovery and Recycling

Environmental regulations and economic considerations demand efficient use of paints and coatings. Coriolis flow meters help optimize recovery processes and allow precise control of material flows.
