Types of Fleecing Equipment

In flocking, there are several types of equipment. Some are handheld devices, some are machines. These devices are used to apply flocked materials to products. These fluff can be coated with adhesive. These fluff are then electrostatically attracted and grounded by the product run.

Flocking Machine
Electrostatic flocking devices are typically characterized by two main electrodes, essentially dish-shaped, with convex surfaces running toward the product. The flock is attracted to the main electrode by the lines of force created by the metering system and pulled towards the product by the air flow. The flock supply box is connected to the dosing system and provides a rotatable brush to apply the flock.

The electrostatic field in an electrostatic flocking device distributes flocking at frequencies that optimize the physical properties and processing efficiency of the flocked material. Frequency can be set online using a computerized database or chart. The frequency of use depends on the precursors used in the production process and the physical properties of the product.

Handheld flocking device
A handheld flocking device is a small, portable machine that provides flocking effects on a variety of substrates. They can be used in textiles, paper, PVC, metal materials, wood, sponges, toys and packaging boxes. Flocking imparts decorative properties to the product and adds to the overall appeal of the product.

The application process is simple. First, the flock is applied to the substrate with an adhesive. Flocculent particles adhere to the surface, creating a velvety finish. The material to be flocked should be ground to ensure that the flocking particles stick to it. Alternatively, the flocking device can sprinkle the flocking on the surface by blowing or blowing air. The latter method helps ensure that the fibers are standing at the proper angle.

Choosing the right flocking equipment is crucial. The correct flocking unit should have adjustable temperature and heating zones. The relative humidity should be at least 20%. Flocking equipment with lower relative humidity may not adhere properly to the substrate and may result in balling or reduced adhesion. In addition, flocked fibers are very sensitive to temperature and humidity conditions.

machine
Flocking machines are various automated machines that apply flocking in a desired pattern to a material. The machine typically includes a frame that mounts an intermittently driven conveyor belt. The conveyor belt has several flocking stations, which are arranged equidistant from each other. Once the flocking process is complete, the item is ready for packaging.

Flocking machines have several features that make them very useful for production. The main components of the equipment are: pre-feeder, flocking bucket and beating bar. These elements are connected to a high voltage power supply and are used to charge the flocculent particles on the item being processed. This ensures that the flocked particles not embedded in the adhesive are excited and held in place.

adhesive for flocking
Raising adhesive is an adhesive used in the manufacture of decorative plastic products. These adhesives are usually water-based or solvent-based. They are used to attach 3D objects to various types of surfaces, including metals and plastics. They are also used for bonding dental components.

The best way to apply flocking is with a flocking applicator. These applicators are typically two-piece telescoping tubes that blow fibers onto viscous paint. Other methods include pneumatic flocking machines and vigorous shaking. The best flocking applicators are made of cardboard. The advantage of cardboard is that it has no holes and can hold a lot of fibers. However, you have to make sure not to overfill it.

Flocking adhesives are used in different industries including automotive, textile, paper and packaging. The automotive market is the largest, with automotive flocking adhesives accounting for more than half of the market. The textile industry is another major application, where flocking adhesives are used to seal windows and reduce noise. Also, they help the glass slide.

Maintenance of flocking equipment
If you are in the flocking business, you need to ensure the longevity of your equipment. Fortunately, there are things you can do to ensure your device will last for years. Maintaining your flocking equipment is important and can help you avoid costly repairs.

Flocking is the process of depositing fine fibers onto a surface. This process can improve the aesthetics of a product or enhance its functionality. It can also improve the insulation value of the material or increase its sliding grip. It can be used on almost any surface and can be applied in a variety of ways.
