Coater for small batches
24 May 2018
At the PaintExpo 2018 Walther Trowal introduced the new Rotamat R 60 for coating mass-produced small parts.

It allows the effective processing of small batches of, among others, metal parts with relatively high bulk weights.
Even though specifically designed for small batches, the R 60 coater offers all the functional features of its larger siblings. With the new Rotamat R 60 Walther Trowal is rounding off its equipment range for coating mass produced bulk parts down to very small batches. For the very first time it is now possible to effectively coat small part volumes of up to 15 liters (4 gallons).
With a drum diameter of only 600 mm (24”) this coater is ideally suited for processing small part batches like, for example, in the aerospace industry, where batch sizes rarely exceed 50 l (13 gallons). This also includes metallic work pieces with high bulk weights, which might get damaged in larger drums through the intensive part-on-part contact. These include spikes for snow tires, bullets and balancing weights.
Frank Siegel, the sales manager for “coating technologies” at Walther Trowal can now offer the right machine for practically any coating application: “We have many customers who must coat small part batches but do not want to give up the high quality standard we achieve with our Rotamat models R 80 and R 90. With the new R 60 coater you can now effectively process small part batches without having to invest in a larger machine”.
