Scattering

Scattering is used to distribute bulk materials such as powder, granular, or fibrous products in precise layers onto a continuously moving belt or substrate.

Scattering technologies can be used wherever there’s a need for strong but lightweight composite materials, such as the automotive, transportation, and construction industries. They are also used in the production of flooring, battery electrodes, textiles, non-wovens, filters, electronics, personal hygiene products, and even food.

Recent advances in scattering technology have resulted in the development of systems capable of handling mixed materials, including wood scattering, foam scattering, glass scattering and plastic scattering, enabling production waste and reclaimed/recycled products to be processed.

Whatever your product and process requirements, we can design, manufacture, and supply a scattering system to match.

Our scattering systems provide scalable solutions for the accurate scattering of an extensive range of materials including:

• Powder

• Granules

• Fibers

• Corundum

• Non-free-flowing (sticky) powder

• Dissimilar content (e.g. wood, foam, glass, plastic)

• Recycled/reclaimed waste

• Others including flakes, chips, corundum, sand, food

A range of feed/suction systems is available to transport the material into a hopper, where it is evenly distributed. The scattering roller or ‘brush off’ system, specified according to the nature of the material, ensures accurate and controlled application of the required quantity (g/m2) over the complete width of the substrate.

Additional layers or substrates can be applied before the material is transported to the next stage of processing.

Whatever you need, we have the process expertise to support you all the way from consultancy and product development, through to the supply and integration of your ScatterPro scattering system.
