Achieving Even Application of Screen Coating
Problem: A manufacturer producing coated screens for residential and industrial windows relied on air operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps to deliver coating material to their screen coating machines. However, pulsations generated by the pumps caused the spray nozzles to apply an uneven coating across the screens.
This inconsistency led to quality issues and required re coating, increasing both material waste and production time. Compounding the challenge, the existing equipment layout provided no vertical installation space for a traditional pulsation dampener.
