PST Line I - Design objectives

The PST Line I was created to meet the needs of manufacturers and the standards of environmental agencies. Objectives included:

An in-line process that eliminates all intermediate manual steps
Reduce the possibility of contamination during the entire process
Using technology to provide a more eco-friendly and cost effective alternative
Modular system to allow the highest level of customisation
Ensure better control of the entire process
Supply the cosmetic plastics producer with the opportunity to bring decoration technology in-house
Enable decoration service providers to be more flexible and provide reduced time to market

PST Line I - Size specification

The PST Line I can process parts measuring 56 mm by 90mm. It is completely automated and the parts are not touched from beginning to end.

PST Line I - Performance

Up to 4800 pieces can be processed per hour. Parts travel on trays on a conveyor between the different modules.

PST Line I - Process

PST Line I process requires three layers: UV base coating, metal deposition and UV top coating:

PST Line I - Technology steps

All the technology steps have been developed in-house by Tapematic from our vast array of research and experienced gained over the past 40+ years.

Optional modules

In addition to the three core modules, PST Line I can be customised with different modules in different sequences to suit any spray requirements. These can be added even after installation. This level of service is possible because every aspect of the technology has been developed in-house by Tapematic.

Auto loading module: Completely automated robot handling without human intervention

Auto offloading module: Automated discharge into multiple boxes

Inspection camera system: RFID reject identification and 3D vision quality check

IDM In-line Decoration Module: Designs included without any extra cost or waste materials

Primer module: An additional coating module to apply a primer before the UV base coating
