10. Flocking
10.1. Types of flock
The following types can be processed with the AFP:
-
Cotton
-
Viscose
-
Polyamide (Nylon, Perlon)
-
Polyester
10.2. Quality of flocking
The quality of flocking can be influenced by the following parameters:
Flock
The moisture and flowability of the flock used is decisive for the flocking quality. Basically,
the use of dry and free-flowing flock leads to better flocking results.
Flock quantity
Basically, a larger flock quantity means a higher flock density. The decisive factor here is the
type of flock used.
Strength of charging the flock
Basically, a stronger charge on the flock means better alignment of the flock on the object to
be flocked.
Distance of the Flocking Gun to the object to be flocked
In principle, a smaller distance from the Electrostatic Hand Spray Unit to the flocking object
results in a higher flock density.
Adhesive
The flocking quality depends largely on the adhesive used and its opening time.
10.3. Process of flocking
1. Place the object to be flocked on the grid bottom of the flocking booth. (Art.No.
810477).
2. Ground the object to be flocked. To do this, clamp the alligator clip of the grounding
cable to the object to be flocked. Make sure that the alligator clip has sufficient
contact with the adhesive.
3. Switch on the suction unit (Art. No. 810495).
4. Switch on the AFP. To do this, turn the main switch (1) clockwise to the I ON position.
5. If necessary, set the settings of dosing, blower and high voltage to medium values.
6. Take the Flocking Gun.
7. To blow out residual flock from the air hose and to set a continuous flock flow, direct
the Flocking Gun in the flocking booth next to the object to be flocked.
