Coating System Has Two Pressure Chambers
The AGS 2500 S “System BASF” pressurized chamber system consists of two independently working pressurized chambers supplied by independent liquid conveying systems. One pump supplies the so-called barrier chamber with coating liquid, avoiding any air entrainment and providing an extraordinary brilliant coating transparency. The coating thickness is only controlled by the dosing pump and not influenced by barrier chamber conditions. Visit booth 517.
