Recovery of reject atomised material from linear carriage during die load was with a centralised input system. About 90 grams were rejected per passage, and with 12 passages a minute, average hourly reject per press was some 65 kilos. Multiplied by an average of 12 working hours a day, this meant an average daily reject equivalent to 780 kilos. Again multiplied by 250 working days a year, this meant an average yearly reject equivalent to 195,000 kilos. At an average cost of €0,10 per kilo of atomized material, average yearly savings per press amounted to 195.000 x 0,10 = €19,500.00.

The automatic WRAP-02 system has meant total and constant in-production atomised material recovery in lieu of previous rejects. In particular, this translated into average yearly savings equivalent to some €19,500 per press and an improved automated working environment.

• Average yearly savings equivalent to some €19,500 per press
• About 15% savings on central input plant maintenance
• Better working quality with process automation
• Cleaner working environment
• Better atomiser generated primer tone and end colour mixes
• Use of filtre atomised material transport input power shared with other applications
