Palmer Primer

This Vacuum Coater & drying unit has been designed to apply a perfectly even coating of environmentally friendly water based paints or stains, to enhance the appearance of a variety of timber & MDF mouldings ranging in size from 19mm x 50 architrave, up to 250mm window board sections. From plain architraves, to some of the more complex window sections & ornate picture frames available today. The potential savings of using this combined Vacuum Coater and drying system due to much reduced re-handling of timber & MDF mouldings in the coating process are quite substantial and should be examined very closely. Using the process of coating and removing the excess product by way of a vacuum rather than brushes, a very high quality finish can be achieved in no less time than using a Brush priming machine, but vastly faster than is possible using a spray gun & spray booth, which is a very time consuming & wasteful method of applying paint primer. The speed of the moulding through the Vacuum Drying system is infinitely variable between the speeds of 5 metres per minute to 35 metres per minute. This enables the operator to obtain the correct speed for the work in hand i.e. slow running speeds for large or short sections, and higher speeds for smaller or longer sections. No brushes or jets are used in the vacuum coating and removal process, instead, templates are fitted which match the profile to be coated, these enable deeply rebated or Torus mouldings to be coated just as easily as P.S.E. sections. A high quality finish is well within the capabilities of the machine, whether your contract specifies a thin dual coat product to be applied, or a heavier primer coat, this machine can apply it with the minimum of waste & down time. MDF board, a relatively new product, is very difficult to coat successfully using conventional Brush priming machines without leaving obvious tram lines due to the absorbency of the product, present no problems to a Palmer Primer Combined Vacuum Drying system. The finish possible both on timber & MDF Board is outstanding, with no brush or finger marks to mar the overall finish. The drying system uses pin cross bars to convey the timber through the unit, which will result in minimal pin markings on the underside of the timber, rather than the more unsightly hand or strip markings on the timber as is usually found with wet priming. Even more remarkable is the ability to dry the paint film sufficiently to stack the timber or MDF straight out of the machine. This system has been designed and manufactured using some of the very latest computer aided design and manufacturing systems to ensure a very high duty cycle for this machine, whilst at the same time, requiring the minimum of attention from the operator to produce a high quality result. The controls for operation of the Vacuum Coater & Drying system are all mounted in one console, the settings can be easily adjusted should the need arise. The heater lamps are, we believe, among the most reliable on the market today, and are relatively inexpensive to replace when replacement is required. We have worked closely with a number of specialist paint manufacturers who can now produce high quality, but competitively priced paint primers and stain products in a variety of colours for use with this vacuum and drying unit. The water based primers and stains available for use with our vacuum coating systems are relatively inexpensive to purchase, are more environmentally friendly to use than the very expensive UV and solvent borne products which are used on other systems. Although the specification of this vacuum & dry machine is of the very highest standard, the associated paint priming or staining costs are very competitive.
