Accurate Coatings Equipment (ACE), a plural component coatings system, is being introduced by Magnum Venus Products (MVP), a global developer of fluid movement and production solutions for industrial applications. By offering exact and consistent catalyzation ratios, the system will reduce material waste and boost production output for wood finishes and sealers.
Magnum Venus Products launches new ACE system for wood finishes and sealers.
ACE is a plural component, or 2K, pump system for the application of conversion varnishes which use acid catalyst, as well as polyester coatings which use methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) catalyst. The system has been proven to dramatically reduce material waste, increase efficiency, and reduce downtime by eliminating the manual mixing processes. ACE delivers accurate catalyst ratios reducing coating failures which can cause defects like clouding, flaking, peeling and delamination, often not visible for weeks and leading to costly repairs.
A proper material ratio is essential for
producing a flawless finish on wood surfaces, and MVP has been a leader in
accurate metering and mixing technology for than a century. MVP originated as a
dealer of coatings equipment in 1947 and is today known for its pumping and
spraying systems in the composites and fibre reinforced plastics (FRP)
industries. “With the launch of the ACE System, we’ve come full
circle,” says Scott Andrews, MVP’s Vice President of Commercialization.
“We saw a need for a mid-tier coating application system, and we believe
ACE is a simple, cost-effective solution that will help producers produce
higher-quality goods faster.”
Although the system is compatible with a
variety of materials and applications, it was specifically designed for wood
finishes and sealers used by manufacturers of cabinets, windows and doors,
furniture, and other wood products. These manufacturers have realized material
savings of more than 15% since implementing the ACE system in production.
“CIS supported MVP as it developed and launched ACE,” says Brad
Hubbard of Coast Industrial Systems (CIS), a distributor of MVP’s ACE system.
“They have been a forward-thinking partner who continually puts the
customer’s needs first.”
MVP is committed to developing new products
and solutions to meet the needs of industrial manufacturers. “We have more
than doubled our R&D budget over the last year,” confirms Andrew
Hedger, Senior Director of Business Development for MVP. “MVP has
commercialized game-changing technology for the composites industry in the last
few decades, and we are more committed now than ever to investing in the
development of new resources to help our customers make better products with
less waste.”
MVP sells the ACE system through authorized
distributors and directly through highly trained sales representatives. To
