A . L I T Z L E R C O . , I N C . LEVEL 1 In-Line Machines. The In-Line Machine processes a single frame of tooling through the dip molding process. As a "low volume" machine, it is ideal for custom parts, prototyping, and products requiring finishing. The benefits of the In-Line Machine: • Low cost. Minimum capital investment, requiring only a single oven and transfer rack. • Flexibility. Ability to use a wide range of materials such as foams and fills to produce a wide range of products and sizes. • Scale-up. Variables on this machine are scaleable to other MCT machines for effective prototyping and are often used as lab machines. LEVEL 2 Rotary Machines. Rotary Machines use six, eight or ten arms to carry the frames of tooling, like spokes on a wheel, radiating out from the center. As the frames transfer through the dip molding process, all of the arms index at the same time. The configuration of the Advanced Rotary Machine includes offline dip stations, which increase the material options and provides a more accurate dip. The benefits of the Rotary Machine: • High production yield. This system is capable of processing up to 60 frames of tooling per hour. • Relative low cost. The cost of the handling mechanisms is minimized. • Low maintenance. Simple mechanical systems for better maintenance. LEVEL 3 Advanced Machines. Like the Rotary Machine, the Advanced Machine separates the preheat and cure into two separate ovens. It also has two transfer racks. The arrangement of the system is different from either the In-Line or the Rotary Machine. Each oven has an entry and exit door, the tooling is carried through the system on a precision conveyor. The ovens are placed side by side with the two transfer racks placed at each end to facilitate tooling movement through the various process steps. Frames cycle around the machine independently, providing immense flexibility. The benefits of the Advanced Machine: • High production yield. Systems can be built to produce over 60 frames of tooling per hour. • Flexibility. Ability to use a wide range of materials such as foams and fills to produce a wide variety of products at the same time. The system can be designed with up to ten dip tanks. • Multiple dip stations. Allows different parts to be made with different colors and in multiple dips. Double and triple dip capabilities available. LEVEL 4 Dual-Path Advanced. To enhance the design for double dipped and foam parts, the Dual-Path Advanced Machine is available. The Dual- Path offers more features: A second rear transfer and a second dip station. The second rear transfer allows for two frames to be vinyl dipped simultaneously, eliminating the bottleneck at the vinyl dip station typically associated with the long dip times of double dipped and foam parts. The benefits of the Dual-Path Advanced Machine: • High production yield. Allows double and triple dipped parts to be made without slowing production. • Flexibility. Ability to use a wide range of materials such as foams and fills to produce a wide variety of products at the same time. • Multiple dip stations. Allows different parts to be made with different colors and in multiple dips. The system can be designed with up to six dip tanks. MCT offers more than just machines for dip molding and coating: MCT provides solutions.
