The flocking of objects which have deep recesses or sharp angles has always created problems for flock coaters. This is the result of the Faraday Cage effect where the electrostatically charged fibres are attracted to the nearest earthed surface which stops them reaching into cavities. To overcome this problem a pneumatic or blown electrostatic flocking system is required. The Turboflocker™ is a blown electrostatic system that delivers an easily adjustable steady stream of charged flock. It is suitable for flocking into profiles and pockets in addition to external surfaces. The standard system comes complete and ready to go. The process parameters can be set very quickly. An optional hand held hopper for electrostatic only applications is available.
