<\/a>Stirring is a fundamental process in various industrial processes: Not only paints, varnishes and other coating materials, but also food and medicines are stirred during production. For tricky special applications, conventional agitators from series production reach their limits. This is when a special solution is required, such as the one developed by Piper GmbH. The Berlin-based company supplies paint supply systems and also relies on air motors from PTM mechatronics.<\/p>\nPiper develops special solutions with PTM motors<\/h4>\nCustom-made color supply<\/h5>\n
\u201eKlaus Linke calls stirring \u201ca science in itself\". The surface technology engineer cites frequency, torque, cycle, temperature and the shape of the agitator as examples of the various parameters that need to be taken into account if several substances are to be ideally stirred together. At the Berlin-based company Piper GmbH, Linke designs special solutions for paint supply. In the simplest case, this includes the paint pressure container, an agitator and a spray gun. Where such off-the-shelf systems are no longer sufficient, the work of Linke and his colleagues begins.<\/p>\n
Protective coating for wind turbines<\/h5>\n
An example of such a special application can be found in many places in the landscape. Linke has developed a system that is used in the construction of wind turbines. The towers and rotors are painted with a special protective coating. \u201eBecause the protective coating has unusual properties that require special treatment, we have designed an individual paint supply,\u201c says Linke.
\nDepending on the application, Linke draws on a wide range of components and puts them together to create a unique product. He describes his work as follows: \u201eWe supply the tailor-made suit for the customer, so to speak.\u201c This not only requires a great deal of experience in working with different materials, but also in-depth knowledge of the products used.<\/p>\n
Radial piston motor outperforms the vane motor<\/h5>\n
In addition to electric and axial piston motors, the radial piston motor from PTM mechatronics has been used more and more frequently for some years now. One of the things that engineer Linke appreciates about the economical compressed air drive is the high torque that it exerts as soon as it starts up: \u201eThe motor really comes into its own when it comes to powerful stirring in highly viscous liquids.\u201c
\nPiper used to install vane motors in many systems. \u201eHowever, we often had to use a reduction gearbox,\u201c explains Linke, \u201eand the consumption of compressed air and therefore energy was significantly higher.\u201c In these categories, the radial piston principle clearly outperforms the vane design, says Linke.<\/p>\n
Special requirements in the food industry<\/h5>\n
And he lists another point that is particularly important in the food and pharmaceutical industries. High standards of hygiene and cleanliness are required there, which is why the agitators are cleaned regularly. \u201eContact with the often aggressive cleaning agents damages the drive,\u201c explains Linke. To ensure that the agitator element and shaft can be cleaned separately from the motor, the drive must be easily removable - as is the case with PTM's radial piston motors.
\nSince more and more manufacturers are doing away with environmentally harmful solvents and producing water-based paints and varnishes, correct stirring has become even more important. \u201eImproper stirring changes the properties,\u201c explains paint supply expert Linke. To achieve the best possible result, all components must work together perfectly. \u201eWe need to know the individual product properties and adjust the entire system accordingly.\u201c<\/p>\n
Flexible pneumatic actuators from PTM<\/h5>\n
The Berlin tinkerer values the exchange with manufacturers, for example with PTM Managing Director Carsten Angermeyer. \u201eWe advise each customer individually and manufacture to their order,\u201c says Angermeyer. \u201eWe build our radial piston motors in various designs and sizes.\u201c Bericht \u00fcber die Zusammenarbeit zwischen unserem Kunden Piper GmbH und der PTM mechatronics: R\u00fchren ist ein fundamentaler Vorgang in diversen Industrieprozessen: Nicht nur Farben, Lacke und andere Beschichtungsstoffe, auch Lebensmittel und Medikamente werden bei der Herstellung ger\u00fchrt.
