Atlas Technologies, Fenton, Michigan announced today a dramatic innovation in its line of pressroom products. The new GEN II FLEX OILER oil application unit is extremely precise and repeatable. This new system does not use air atomizing technology and puts the oil on the sheet, not in the air. Our testing indicates that secondary mist collection is not required in most applications. This benefit keeps the press area cleaner and safer.

Our press room customers are now able to “dial in” their application rate over a broad range using the same fluid pressure, nozzle spacing, and orifice size. The GEN II FLEX OILER contains the following standard features:
• Sheet metal enclosure with floor mounts.
• Carrying conveyor to support blanks through the oiler. The carrying conveyor is equipped with crown rollers for minimum blank contact.
• One heated tank section to control the temperature and viscosity of the application fluid.
• PLC based controls with operator interface screen.
• Bottom and Top fluid application over the entire blank.
• Application rates from .5G/M2 to 2.5G/M2 with line speeds from 30.5 M/Min. to 106.7 M/Min.
• Fluid filters and pumping unit.
• Available in widths from 2M to 4.5M.

Optional Features include:
• Use of water soluble synthetic lubricants. Atlas to review and test certain fluids
• Roll out floor drive
• Stainless steel construction
• Check pattern oiling, top and bottom.
• Stripe oiling top and bottom.

Custom Units Available:
• Greater or Lesser application rates than those listed above.
• Wider or more narrow units than those listed above.
• Greater or lesser line speeds that those listed above.

Most of our application data to date indicate that the use of the GEN II FLEX OILER will save money spent on fluid, Aspiration maintenance, and housekeeping. High volume stampers can experience pay back within one year.

Contact Atlas today and speak with one of our applications engineers about your situation and if it will warrant further investigation into the exciting performance of the GEN II FLEX OILER.
