Aplicación: Oil industrial components and perform initial oiling reproducibly

In brief

Industrial oiling protects against corrosion, facilitates forming or assembly and provides the initial lubrication of technical components. Application should wet the required surface reliably, without unnecessary droplets, puddles or material carryover.

De qué se trata esta aplicación

Various wet-spray processes are suitable for industrial application. Depending on the medium, component geometry, batch size and quality requirements, application can take place with a manual paint spray gun, a coating gun, an automatic spray gun or within a painting and coating system.

What the coating must achieve in the process

The application mainly concerns metal parts, sheet metal, profiles, bearing, transmission and assembly components. The required effect occurs only when coating material, substrate, layer thickness and subsequent drying or curing fit together. The spraying process must therefore be adapted to the concrete material system and the real production conditions.

Alongside surface quality, material consumption, cleaning effort, system availability and reliable repeatability also matter. A sound technical solution therefore combines controlled atomisation with a stable material supply that is easy to regulate.

Challenges in spray application

Even small fluctuations in material pressure, viscosity, distance or movement control can change the coating visibly or functionally. Typical requirements include:

very thin and uniform oil films
Avoiding drops and excess medium
precise dosing for changing component sizes
wetting of internal surfaces and hard-to-reach areas
short switching times in indexed production lines
clean material handling with low viscosity media

Dosing oil evenly and economically

A thin protective or lubricating film should be applied to industrial oiling. Too much oil leads to drops, transport and unnecessary consumption. Too little oil leaves unprotected or insufficiently lubricated areas behind.

In the case of running belts, sheets or serial components, the amount of spray is synchronised with speed and component recognition. Different viscosities and temperatures affect drop size and spray width.

defined quantity of oil per area or component
even film without puddles
precise edge and partial area limitation
low fog and clean environment
Stable extraction at temperature fluctuations

Krautzberger application technology for this application

Krautzberger treats application and material supply as a connected system. Depending on the task, manual and automatic spray guns, suitable air and material nozzles, material pressure tanks, diaphragm pumps, pump and lifting stations, and material pressure regulators can be combined.

In automated processes, spray guns can be integrated into mounts, lifting devices, axes or robots. Material changeover valves and flushing equipment support applications with several colours or media. The specific selection depends on viscosity, solids content, application quantity, cycle time and component geometry.

For fine surface finishes, various XLINE nozzle combinations and spray patterns are available. With highly viscous, abrasive or sedimenting media, sufficiently large flow cross-sections, suitable material combinations, agitators and pressure-stable delivery become more important.

The focus is on hand and automatic spray guns, finely metering round or flat jet nozzles, material pressure vessels, pumps and material pressure regulators as well as extensions for internal surfaces. The technically and economically suitable combination is selected for the specific medium, components and required production output.

Typical components and areas of application

The application is used in different industries and component groups. Typical examples are:

Corrosion protection oiling of metal parts
First oiling of bearings and mechanics
Oiling before forming or assembly processes
Protection of sheets, profiles and fasteners
Internal oiling of technical components
Automated oiling stations

From manual application to automated installation

Depending on the process, the oiling takes place punctually, flat or all around. Sensors and controls release short spray pulses; for series components, a rotation or traversing movement can support the even distribution.

In addition, component feed, extraction or ventilation, cleaning, media change and accessibility for maintenance work must be taken into account during the system integration. This keeps the process stable not only in the pattern run, but also in everyday production.

Advantages of a coordinated spray solution

defined amount of oil instead of overdose
less soiling and transport
even corrosion or lubrication film
reduced media consumption
reproducible cyclic processes
Flexible internal and external oiling

Application trials at the Krautzberger technical centre

Liquid media and coating materials with similar names can differ considerably in viscosity, solids content, solvent base, wetting and drying. A reliable choice of spray gun, nozzle and material supply should therefore be made using the original material and a representative component.

Application mass, wetting, dripping behaviour and process effect are tested with the original oil and the real component.

On this basis, the spray pattern, material quantity, pressure, distance, movement and cleaning sequence can be defined. The result is an application solution suited to the medium, the geometry and the intended production process.
