Industry Solution: Plastics Industry

Application Airbrushing small quantities For small quantities, samples and fine detail work, good dosing control, a controllable spray pattern and clean material changeover matter more than high delivery …
Application Anti-fingerprint and anti-smudge coatings Anti-fingerprint and anti-smudge coatings reduce visible fingerprints, grease marks and dirt on high-quality surfaces. Depending on the material system, they improve the dirt-repellent properties …
Application Primer application Primers connect the substrate to the subsequent paint or adhesive layer. Depending on the system, they even out the surface, improve adhesion, protect against …
Application UV coating application UV varnishes cure very quickly under suitable UV radiation. They are used for protective, decorative and functional layers and can combine high hardness, resistance …
Application Coating of displays and visible surfaces Coatings on displays and visible surfaces improve appearance, tactile properties, cleaning, scratch resistance or other functional properties. The layers are often thin and must …
Application Coating of housings Housing coatings protect components against corrosion, moisture, chemicals and mechanical stress or give them colour, gloss, tactile properties and other functions. Geometries range from …
Application Coating of plastic components in series production Plastic coatings can create colour and gloss effects, increase scratch and chemical resistance or provide functions such as soft touch, conductivity or UV protection. …
Application High-gloss coating of plastic and metal components High-gloss coatings create a smooth, reflective surface with a strong optical depth effect. The substrate, primer, paint application, levelling and drying must therefore be …
Application Painting of small and series-produced components Small components and series-produced parts receive decorative or functional coatings. They can be conveyed individually, on racks, in rotation or in indexed systems. The …
Application Coating of bulk small parts Bulk small parts such as screws, springs or fasteners are often moved in rotating containers while being sprayed. The movement distributes the medium over …
Application Soft-touch coatings Soft-touch coatings change the tactile feel and visual appearance of a surface. The coating should cure uniformly and elastically, without mottling, variations in gloss …
Application Coating of toys and scale models Toys and model-making components are decoratively painted, shaded, protected or given functional colours. Small geometries and frequent colour changes require a well-controlled spray pattern …
Application Coating of watch and luxury goods components Coatings on watches, jewellery, writing instruments and high-quality design products provide colour, gloss, tactile properties, protection or special effects. Small surfaces and high product …

Challenges & Trends

The plastics industry is characterised by an enormous variety of materials and growing demands on appearance, function and durability. Whether components for the vehicle interior, household appliances, furniture or technical components – high-quality, uniform surfaces are crucial. Particularly demanding are applications with UV-curing coatings or functional coatings that require stable, reproducible processing and at the same time place highest demands on safety and exhaust air technology.

Krautzberger offers a wide range of surface technology for the plastics industry – from paint guns and automatic spray guns to material pressure vessels, diaphragm pumps, pump and lifting stations, material pressure regulators, ventilation technology, extensions to complete painting systems. Our systems are optimized for fine atomisation and ensure consistently high surface quality, even with critical media such as UV varnishes. Thanks to our experience in exhaust air and extraction technology, we support our customers in ensuring process safety as well as occupational safety.

The result for your production

With Krautzberger technology, manufacturers in the plastics industry benefit from reduced material consumption, minimal overspray and consistent process quality. Our XLINE nozzle technology enables precise layer thickness control and homogeneous distribution even on complex geometries. This reduces contamination in booths, prolongs service life and reduces maintenance intervals. Due to the maintenance-friendly design of our components, setup and downtimes are additionally reduced. The result: efficient processes, reproducible quality and durable solutions – Made in Germany.
