Spray technology as a ready-to-use solution
Customised, ready-to-use spraying solutions tailored to specific customer applications are at the heart of Böhmer’s approach. Each project begins with a detailed simulation of the spraying process using customer-provided shape and component data, such as thermal images to identify heat hotspots. Spray cones are projected onto the mold, defining dimensions, spray circuits, spray heads, and their arrangement.
This approach minimizes commissioning time and provides customers with confidence in the solution. The modular, pipe-free tool design ensures flexibility and supports the integration of various nozzle types on the same tool. Quick-change couplings allow tool-less set-up and reconfiguration.
Key benefits include:
Shorter cycle times
Extended mold life
Reduced media consumption and wastewater generation
For many years, Böhmer Maschinenbau has worked closely with customers and release agent manufacturers to develop sophisticated clamping force-independent hybrid and microspraying processes with accordingly release agent supply. Flexible tool design, in-house manufacturing capabilities and detailed simulations are critical components of these advanced solutions.
