PCT Engineered EB System for Coil Coating User Manual

EB System for Coil Coating

Advantages for Coil Coating:

• Greatly Reduced Energy Consumption -

Uses less that 10% compared to convection

• Higher Throughput - Energy to cure at higher

line speeds

• “Green” Technology - Eliminates solvents
and significantly reduce emissions

• Very Compact - Reduced Floor Space

Technology Breakthrough

Congratulations on recognizing the many potential

advantages of harnessing the efficiency and
simplicity of EB curing for your coil coating line!
PCT is offering the first EB system designed
specifically for use in this application. This system
is positioned to provide a revolutionary advance in
the coil coating process. You will profit from
reduced operating costs and a dramatically
improved environmental footprint.

Designed for Coil Coating

The BroadBeam design includes specific features
for the production environment of a coil coating
line. The structure of the system is built to
withstand high strip tensions. An automated open
function allow stitches / welds to pass. We have
also ensured that the roll diameters are large

enough to avoid coil set in the metal.

Higher Throughput

Don’t let your drying oven limit your productivity.

With instantaneous EB curing you can significantly
increase the throughput of your line. The small size

of an EB system also opens the door to retrofitting

on existing lines.

Lower Power Consumption

Let us show you the energy savings you will realize
a BroadBeam on your coil coating line. The result is
typically less than 10% of what is required for a
conventional line using convection ovens. This
technology also produces less pollution providing
the ultimate “green” curing technology.

Easier Maintenance

Our patent-pending integral chill roll design
provides easy access to the roll surface for cleaning.
The window area is also easily accessible to
facilitate foil changes. Our standard remote

diagnostics allow for 24/7 monitoring by PCT’s

expert technicians.

Dependable Operation

PCT has been delivering solutions to our metals
customers since 1986. BroadBeam EB systems have
been in use for over 25 years.
