Steel Belt Pasting Machine

Steel Belt Pasting Machine THE WIRTZ MODEL SBP-13-200 PASTER IS A RUGGEDLY BUILT MACHINE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY TO OPERATE AT SPEEDS UP TO 200 FT./MINUTE WITH ACCURATE CONTROL OF PASTED PLATE WEIGHT AND THICKNESS.

The machine is configured to run continuous cast grid strip, single or double panel. It is also available for pasting expanded metal grid strip (Customer to specify). The internal hopper roller design allows adjustment to crush oxide particles or lumps in the paste. Hopper design requires changeover of the upper orifice plate for a change in pasted plate heights. Variable speed drive for the hopper to provide controlled paste feed. Includes paper roller system. Stainless steel belt with precision roller support to ensure pasted plate thickness.

UTILITY REQUIREMENTS

Electrical

Power Input: 460v, 60hz, 3-phase standard

200v to 575v, 50hz or 60hz, 3-phase available upon request

Approximate power consumption: 20 KVA

All wiring conforms to NFPA. Build to special, or IEC (CE) codes available.

Compressed Air

Supply pressure to be 65 to 85 PSI (4.48 to 5.86 bars) Air consumption is approximately 1 cubic foot per hour (for intermittent hopper tilt and hopper latch cylinder operation)

Process Water

Supply pressure to be 20 to 50 PSI (1.38 to 3.45 Bars)

Maximum consumption rate during machine operation is 6 GPH, for metal belt and roller cleaners (22.7 liters/hour). A solenoid valve limits water spray application to periods of machine operation only.

Requires clean water source with minimum mineral solids content connected to _ inch NPT inlet cartridge filter.

Note:

1) Drainage required at Paster for process water and machine wash-down water.

2) Daily machine wash-down is recommended using high-pressure water. (900- 1200 PSI or 62 to 82 Bars, at about 2 gallons or 7.57 liters / minute rate)


VENTILATION EXHAUST

None provided. Customer to supply if required by local Code.
