About EMB Technology

EMB-Technology was founded in 2004. The objective of the company is to fill the missing link of developing and building effective EMB-powdercoating machines for powder coating 'flat' substrates.

"Application of powder coatings on flat substrates by a process called electromagnetic brush, or EMB, might change the future of the powder coating industry. The process can apply powders on conductive and non-conductive substrates such as strip, sheets and more complexe surfaces at relative high speeds with a very even and controllable powder layer."

Over the past years, the technology is proven in production environment and further developed. Since Feb. 2011 there is a EMB-Powdercoatingline available at our factory in Eerbeek (Netherlands). With this machine the technology and the possibilities can be shown to interested partners. Customer specific tests can also be executed.

With close cooperation with strategic partners in development of powders, carriers,. coilcoating applications and surrounding technology aim to realize effective solutions for various applications in the near future.

Fast, accurate and reliable powder application on 'flat' substrates is still an undiscovered area of possibilities. EMB Technology considers this area as her main business perspective.

Innovation

Until today there are no comparable processes on the market. EMB Technology has realized the first production machine in the world. This machine operates in combination with a separate loss and weight system for powder supply and a NIR (Near Infra Red) curing system. Based on this proven concept EMB-Technology works enthusiastic and with dedication towards solutions for high value added coating for e.g. steel strips and sheets, plastics, board and other type of substrates.

With EMB large amounts of powder can be applied with a low thickness variance at relatively high speeds. This implies a large innovation potential due to the fact that application of solvent coatings can be replaced by powder coatings. Powder coatings are more environmental friendly and more economical in use. A switch over from solvent based to powder coatings can lead to a more profitable and environmental friendly coating operation. Besides; the investment level and space requirements needed for a EMB coating line are relatively low compared to the requirements for conventional solvent based coating lines. Current / conventional powder coating lines for coil and strip have an serious disadvantage: layer thickness variance is large and homogenous application difficult. High operational costs, overspray and complexity in operating are an unavoidable side effect of the conventional spray lines.

Next to this EMB allows for thin layer thickness and very fine powders. This implies a cheaper coating costs per product en a high potential for all kind of applications where powder need to be applied in thin layers on various materials.
