A big job for a small shop: a case for vacuum technology

A big job for a small shop: a case for vacuum technology

Shiplap Is Trending And Cefla's Vaccum Technologies Can Automate The Process

Cefla’s Vacuum Finishing Systems are intended for small- and medium-sized operations.

Available in either a water-based or solvent-based compatible solution, the system has a compact footprint that is ideal for shops with space limitations. The system combines three processes into one system, featuring a denibbing unit, application vacuum coater, and either a drying or curing tunnel based on coating specification. The system allows you to be flexible enough to quickly ramp up to accommodate a large order, or pivot with multiple small orders. Utilizing a 12-inch conveyor, the system moves parts through an application head where a controlled amount of coating is circulated around either three or four sides of each part. The application head has a lever that is manually opened or closed to either increase or decrease the amount of coating that encounters each part. From there, the part is conveyed through a short wave IR drying oven. After exiting the oven, unless there is a desire for the parts to go through another coating process, the parts are ready to pack and ship. The CVR Vacuum Finishing System has an optional denibbing unit; denibbing roughens or smoothens a part to the desired grain.

Additionally, the system is environmentally friendly. There are no VOC's produced from the drying process, meaning your carbon footprint will remain low and there are no permitting or government compliance regulations to monitor. The CVR Vacuum Finishing System has a working width of 8- to 12-inches and optimal working length of 24 inches, making it ideal for optimizing the production of linear profiles and flat boards including shiplap. The popularity of shiplap in the North American market is no secret; it has become quite the star in North America with its feature on several hit reality and DIY (do-it-yourself) television series. Vacuum technology allows shops of any size to automate their finishing process and take advantage of this trendy material.

Other system features include:

  • No VOC’s, no emissions, no permitting
  • Small footprint
  • One system comprised of multiple processes – no need for different sets of equipment
  • Options for water-based and solvent-based coatings
  • Machine-side control panel is easy to use with a touch screen featuring large print and color graphics

Not using water-based coatings? The CVS vacuum coating system has the same footprint as the CVR system, but is compatible with solvent-based coatings and has a standard denibbing unit located before the application head.

These machines are built exclusively to support the North American market by Delle Dedove technologies, also known as DV Systems. Contact us today.

Industrial digital printing as a competitive way to grow your business

Industrial digital printing as a competitive way to grow your business

Industrial digital printing

Competitive because your degree of flexibility allows you to respond immediately in face of changing trends and fashions. Competitive because you save time, reduce stocks of semi-finished goods and reduce equipment in your production line. Appealing because you can respond rapidly to each demand being able to offer customised, top quality, durable products.

The key issue facing customers is the need to combine high productivity with the high degree of customisation required by the market. In particular, the ability to obtain realistic, high-volume, high-quality reproductions of natural (wood) patterns with extremely hard-wearing surfaces, all at an affordable process cost. A further commercial benefit is the ability to produce one-off panels when required. By scanning the desired pattern, you can respond to impromptu requests or replace damaged pieces with much less effort and in a much shorter time than before.

Ideal for furnishing components, doors, flooring, PVC sheets and packaging

Our J-Print MP, J-Print SP and J-Print TD machines for colour and 3D, integrate seamlessly into complete printing and texturing lines that perform the entire process, from preparation of the raw material to the finished product. J-Print industrial digital printers, supported by our process knowledge and expertise, together with careful selection of inks and technologies, responds better to the needs of durability, depth, naturalness and definition of the textured effect.

The smart solution for edging manufacturers

When you need to faithfully reproduce the pattern from the panels to which the edging will be applied, with a short response from the request to the delivery of the finished material, and with small batches. J-Print SP roll-to-roll (R2R) for edging strips produces reels of decorated edging on demand, even in small batches, with preparation, printing and finishing in a single reel loading/unloading operation.

Naturally beautiful and naturally resistant for skirting and profiles

J-Print SP top-side printers for skirting and profiles is able to replicate the pattern from the floors on which the skirting boards will be fitted, with short response from request to delivery of the finished material. Even for small batches, manufacturers can reproduce natural patterns, particularly those of wood varieties, with the most natural appearance possible. Textured effects are also possible with the J-Print single-pass printer.

In short we provide complete lines, from preparation of the bare skirting to the decorated and finished product; fine-tuning of the entire technological process, from reception of the flooring samples to be reproduced; support to help our customers acquire the necessary knowledge and experience for the preparation of final print files.

Haptic effects and EIR (Embossing In Register)

The J-PRINT TD employs the technology to create positive and negative tactile effects with outstanding realism and an affordable, reliable process. J-PRINT TD, performs embossing in register (EIR), printing with a resolution of 400 dpi and speeds reaching 50 m/min. The printer uses special inks, ensuring the same surface resistance as you would expect from any high-quality flooring. Whether it’s wood, MDF or cork, you can digitally print and emboss with exceptional 3D quality.

FLEXPRO, which has just been granted a US patent, after having been patented in Europe, is the ideal compromise between productivity and flexibility. Its uniqueness lies precisely in the fully automatic adjustment of loading thickness, which is made possible by direct interaction between the coating machine and the oven in terms of types of incoming pieces. For this reason, FLEXPRO is able to manage the entire cycle without requiring any operator action and without ever stopping production.

This patent is also the result of a solid, successful approach to process innovation by Cefla Finishing. FLEXPRO is the product of structured brainstorming among professionals in our various business areas, who analyse internal and external inputs (from the market and from our customers) and turn them into innovative ideas.

Congratulations to the inventors: Massimo Dovadola, Cristian Giovannini, Luigi Franzoni
