DV-Systems, Charlotte, NC based manufacturer of profile finishing machinery, presented its new CCS combination roll-coat and vacuum finishing system at the recent Surfaces show in Las Vegas.

The versatile CCS Roll-Coat & Vacuum Combination can help shops grow their business without vast floor extensions. With a size of 12x5 feet, the CCS combines all flooring finishing processes and more within a small foot print. “The beauty of the CCS is that it gives customers the flexibility they need in today’s market,” says Vittorio Belluz, VP of DV-Systems. “They can use it to finish both flooring and mouldings and as they grow, the CCS can become part of a bigger line.”

Equipped with optional sanding brushes or belt sanders, the CCS first prepares substrates for coating. After applying base coats with the 8 or 12” wide roll-coater, a very simple change-over process activates the vacuum coater to seal selected or all sides of the substrate with top coating. The vacuum coater also has the capability to finish mouldings and trims. Following the coating process, parts pass through a UV curing tunnel where ultra violet lamps irradiate the part. Adjustable intensity provides for partial (gel cure) or perfect through cure.

100% coating transfer and optimal space utilization make the CCS highly efficient. Furthermore, the CCS only needs three runs to achieve a finish equivalent to seven layers of hand finishing. When equipped with DV-Systems’ environmentally friendly cool UV-X curing technology, the CSS’s annual energy consumption is reduced by up to 42,900kWh – enough to power more than 3.5 single family homes for a year. The cool curing temperature also allows the curing of resin-bleed prone and oily woods.
