Why Grafotec AP-System?
Grafotec is specialising in
finding solutions to
problems of float line
users and other flat glass
operations
Over the last few years, the last twelve
months in particular, we have invested a
great deal of time and effort in our
development activities, visiting many
customers to assess their needs and
problems and carrying out field trials all
over the world.
All of this work including the cooperation
with experienced companies are directly
flowing into the development of our prod-
ucts. In addition to the well known
Electrostatic Powder applicator we can now
offer the practice proven, very unique ad-
vanced powder Applicator type AP.
The Grafotec AP 950 system
is an innovative mechanically and
pneumatically operating nozzle application
system, which is very impressive due to its
reliable and sturdy construction design.
Universally employable, as well as extremely
easy to maintain and service, the system
allows uninterrupted continuous operation, in
such systems as those for float glass for
example.
The device particularly distinguishes itself due
to the even application. The desired powder
quantity can be measured out precisely in 1%
steps, thus minimizing the powder con-
sumption and ensuring that the environment is
not unnecessarily polluted.

glass plates to be exactly pollinated, whatever

This also means that glass plates are able to
“park” under the spray nozzles, without undue
accumulation of the interleaving powder. Injection-module
