ALIT Technologies launches FASTRIP T2-120 MIX

ALIT presented the new FASTRIP T2-120 MIX machine in the technical magazines dedicated to surface treatments ipcm_International Paint&Coating Magazine, ipcm_Ibérica & ipcm_LatinoAmérica.

ALIT Technologies is pleased to announce the launch of FASTRIP T2-120 MIX, an even more compact evolution of the T2 system, designed for effective and rapid paint removal.

The companies that carry out internally the coating of metal artifacts have, in fact, an intrinsic need to strip the frames and hooks used for the hanging of the pieces or the artifacts that have defects. ALIT Technologies has developed the FASTRIP T2-120 MIX, the most compact paint stripping machine in the T2 range, in order to offer an efficient and space-saving solution.

“ALIT TECHNOLOGIES has developed FASTRIP T2-120 MIX based on its many years of experience in the paint stripping industry” says Loris, CEO of ALIT Technologies. “This machine does not use ultrasound, as the mechanical action of the paint stripper on the parts’ is ensured by the hydrostatic thrust generated by the mixer. The fact that ultrasound has been replaced by a mixer is precisely what distinguishes FASTRIP T2-120 MIX from our top-of-the-line model FASTRIP T2-100. This makes the former a quieter machine that can also operate with a more polluted paint stripper; the absence of ultrasound also allows for the use of electronic components that are less sensitive to the heat developed during normal machine operation. Overall, these choices have resulted in the design of an extremely robust, reliable, safe, and well-functioning system”.

ALIT Technologies Presented the Dosing and Application System Drizzling

Drizzling is an innovative process for the application of chrome-free passivation products for all metals.

During the trade fair Aluminium, that took place from 27th to 29th September 2022 in Düsseldorf (Germany), ALIT Technologies has showcased its new dosing and application system for the passivation of metal components Drizzling.

As it is extremely compact and easy to install, it allows to apply a constantly fresh and contamination-free passivating solution to the products. Drizzling is a complete dosing system capable of automatically managing the mixing of demineralised water coming from a feed tank with the exact quantity of passivating chemical product, thus obtaining an optimal and always fresh solution to be dispensed directly on the surface of metals.

The use of special atomizing nozzles and compressed air enables the Drizzling system to homogeneously produce and distribute a fine and light mist of passivating solution that completely envelops the product, even in 7-meter vertical lines for aluminium profiles.

It can be combined with chrome-free chemicals, including titanium and polymer based ALFICOAT 748/3 from ALUFINISH GMBH & Co. KG, in order to guarantee excellent results in the passivation process both in terms of corrosion protection and paint adhesion.

The article was published in the 78th issue of ipcm® International Paint & Coating Magazine (November/December 2022).

ALIT Technologies launches Drizzling, a new dosing and application system for the passivation of metal parts

ALIT Technologies is pleased to announce Drizzling, an innovative process for the application of chrome-free passivation products for all metals.

ALIT Technologies, a leading manufacturer of machines and products for the surface treatment of metals, is pleased to announce the launch of the dosing and application system Drizzling.

The treatment of metal surfaces ensures good durability over time and provides protection against oxidation and corrosion. There are various surface treatment processes aimed at this purpose. One of the most significant and widespread is certainly coating, which is only the last (but not least) step of a chemical process that includes several intermediate stages in which parts are degreased, pickled and passivated. It is in this last phase that the Drizzling system can make a difference.

Drizzling consists of a complete dosing system capable of automatically managing the mixing of demineralized water, coming from a feed tank, with the exact quantity of passivating chemical product, thus obtaining an optimal and always fresh solution to be dispensed directly on the surface of metals. The use of special atomizing nozzles and compressed air enables the system to homogeneously produce and distribute a fine and light mist of passivating solution that completely envelops the product, even in 7-meter vertical lines for aluminium profiles.

This system is extremely compact and easy to install, and its main advantage is that it allows to apply a constantly fresh and contamination-free passivating solution to the products: a further reassurance for the customer, who can count on an improved performance of the passivating product.

Furthermore, the new dosing system developed by ALIT Technologies can be combined with chrome-free chemicals, including titanium and polymer-based ALFICOAT 748/3 from Alufinish GmbH, which guarantees excellent results in the passivation process both in terms of corrosion protection and paint adhesion.

The ALIT Technologies team previewed Drizzling at Aluminium, the leading trade show for the aluminium industry and its main fields of application, which took place from 27th to 29th September 2022 in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Improving Extrusion Dies Cleanliness with Claris 9346 MB

Claris 9346 MB is an innovative liquid additive specifically developed to reduce costs and cleaning times of extrusion dies for aluminium profiles.

Every company that produces aluminium profiles uses extrusion presses to transform the aluminium billets into profiles with the most varied sections. After each use, the dies of the extrusion presses – which give the shape to the profile – have traces of solidified aluminium that must be completely removed before storing the dies until they are mounted of the press again.

The dies are usually cleaned by heating caustic soda baths, that bring the aluminium residues into solution through an exothermic reaction. However, this process involves the consumption of large quantities of soda ash, which must then be dismissed of at the end of the life cycle of the bath. Furthermore, the corrosiveness of soda ash and the high operating temperatures generate corrosive and dangerous fumes, while the formation of sodium aluminate fouling implies continuous maintenance work.

ALIT Technologies has therefore developed Claris 9346 MB, an innovative product that allows to obtain a more efficient cleaning process, reducing costs and cleaning times of the extrusion dies. Claris 9346 MB:

  • Improves the overall cleanliness of the dies, facilitating the dissolution of the residues gathered in inaccessible points.
  • Significantly increases the service life of the bath.
  • Maintains the temperature of the bath at about 90° C, thus reducing fume emissions and evaporation consumption.

In the article published in the 77th issue of ipcm® International Paint & Coating Magazine (September/October 2022), we explored the technical characteristics of Claris 9346 MB and presented the case study at the Alumec plant.

Fluoride Removal with FLUORIDITE

FLUORIDITE is the new system developed by ALIT Technologies to reduce the concentration of fluorides in wastewater below the legal threshold.

Many production fields have the technical need to use particular chemical formulations with high concentrations of specific elements. For some specialised sectors in the surface treatment of steel, glass, and aluminium, for example, the use of products with high fluoride concentrations is unavoidable. However, there exist legal limits for the concentration of fluorides in surface and sewage water.

In the specific sector of aluminium coating, the continuous demand for higher productivity and pre-treatment quality has led to an increase in the use of chemicals, also resulting in critical issue in terms of waste water management.

A standard purification cycle, based mainly on an acidification phase (when necessary) followed by a neutralisation phase with lime, is very often not sufficient to achieve such low concentrations of fluorides, even with considerable dwell times in the line. In order to provide a truly effective solution to this problem without necessarily having to intervene at the plant engineering level, ALIT has developed FLUORIDITE, a liquid product that can be used directly on existing waste water treatment systems. FLUORIDITE allows to reduce the concentration of fluorides in wastewater below the legal limits.

In the article published on ipcm® International Paint&Coating Magazine (May/June 2022) n. 75, we deepen the technical characteristics of FLUORIDITE and present two case studies. Read the full article:

The winning combination of Fastrip S and Metalstrip

Find out the results that a paint stripping contractor has achieved thanks to the Fastrip S plant and the products of the Metalstrip range developed by ALIT Technologies.

When it comes to paint stripping, each company relies on a different technology according to the specific needs of the parts it treats. In the case of paint stripping contractors, however, it is important to implement solutions that allow processing components of all types and in all sizes. The chemical paint stripping industry typically uses the immersion technique, because it enables the whole workpiece to be covered and therefore provides optimum results.

In order to further optimise its services, Sverniciatura Veneta S.r.l. took an interest in high-temperature chemical paint stripping through spray systems. This is why it decided to install a Fastrip S machine, developed in recent years by ALIT Technologies.

After initial reluctance to embrace such a major technological change, the company worked with ALIT’s engineers to customise a machine that would meet its needs and be able to reach the temperature required by the company (110 °C) in order to achieve high quality results through a faster spray paint stripping process. The company is now capable of providing its customers with uniformly and optimally paint stripped products, while having improved the environmental impact of its processes and reduced resource consumption.
