First AFC Aqueous Flood Coater to be Installed in France, at EPS
Tuesday 19. January 2010 - Finishing Equipment & supplies specialist, EPS (Encapsulation Plastification Support) have recently installed an AFC 1600 Aqueous Flood Coater into their showroom in Aôst in France as a first step in their overall plan to launch the full range of Drytac finishing equipment and films in the coming year.
Due to the rising need in todays current economic climate for ever lower running costs and increased productivity, liquid finishing systems such as the AFC Flood Coater, are increasingly becoming a must-have for many companies in the finishing sector.
Not only does it offer lower material costs per square metre (insert figures here) , the AFC also offers the possibility of coating previously difficult or impossible substrates such as non-porous textiles, canvases, vinyls and many other flexible substrates. Furthermore, with its numerous performance features including the TruSpeed Compensator, Dual Quick Disconnect Supply Tanks and an optional secondary IR heater/fan unit, the machine is easy to operate with very little training required.
EPS will be selling all 3 sizes of the machine (1.6m/2.2m and 3.2m) and will also be stocking the complete range of EnduraCoat Aqueous Coatings suitable for a wide range of applications including vehicle graphics, digital wallpaper coverings, outdoor vinyls, banner displays and Giclée work.
EPS plan to install the AFC as a demonstration machine, available for customers to come and see first-hand for live demonstrations and one to one training. Furthermore, for those customers wanting to offer this type of finishing solution but do not have the sufficient demand to justify the investment, EPS will also be offering a production service at competitive prices. Why not call them for a quote?
Thibault Raudet, Production Assistant from EPS said “the AFC is definitely the most innovative and economic lamination technology.. The must have of this new decade.”
