THERMOPLASTIC SPRAY, EXTRUSION AND RIBLINE APPLICATION
The thermoplastic Borum extruder can apply flat and profiled lines of 5 – 50 cm width depending on the set-up. The Borum spray plastic equipment can apply flat lines of up to 60 cm width, depending on the set-up. Both the extruder and spray equipment can apply single and double lines of different widths, as well as for simultaneous application of continuous and interrupted lines. The screed equipment with rib function can apply flat lines, long flex, and rib over the line in fixed prechosen line widths up to 30 cm.
Line types that can be applied with this equipment
Pressurized tank indirectly heated via thermal oil. The thermal oil and thermoplastic material temperature is thermostatically controlled and regulated automatically.
Burner system
Diesel burner system for heating of the thermal oil (and thermoplastic). Propane burner available on demand.
Vertical agitator (mixer)
With hydraulic transmission. Heated center pipe for efficient uniform temperature control. Perfect melting and homogenization of the thermoplastic. Stable construction with foundation and bearings at the top of the material tank.
Advantages when using a pressurized tank for spray:
The line thickness is affected by the machine speed, this is useful for applying thicker lines in curves and areas with higher wear and tear levels.
The maintenance for the pressure tank is minimal compared to the thermoplastic spray pump system.
The screed box can apply flat lines, long flex, and ribs over a line in one pass. With this type of screed application, the box is dragged with constant contact to the surface. The contact points determine the line width. The material pressure is by gravity only and this is how the material is poured in the marking box. The material coming out of the box will fill up any holes, pores, or other types of road imperfections. This means that material consumption will depend on the road surface.
The screed box equipment is mounted directly on the side of the material tank.The Borum thermoplastic screed box is available in the following widths: 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 25, 30 cm. Other sizes are available upon request.The equipment is constructed with one main application box covering a range of line widths, either 0 - 20 cm or 20 - 30cm. If you do not need to switch the line widths often, you have the option to only change the application opening based on your width requirements instead of changing the whole box! This makes the application equipment more cost-efficient!The thickness for the application of flat lines is usually between 2 - 4 mm.The usual application speed for applying ribs over a flat line is 1-3 km/h, while for screed application of flat lines it is up to 5 km/h.
RIB LINE FUNCTIONThe screed box is also equipped with a rib function. This allows you to apply ribs over a line in one pass. The total height of line with rib is usually between 8 to 15 mm depending on the material. The base line is recommended to be as thin as possible when combined with ribs (approx. 1,5 - 2 mm).
The equipment is supplied with a laser that constantly measures the material level in the application box. If the material level becomes lower than 50%, the application box will be automatically refilled.
Thermoplastic material has a long-life duration with high retro-reflectivity capabilities due to being able to pre-mix glass beads in the material. Thermoplastic markings cure quickly and adhere strongly to the road surface. Generally, thermoplastic is recommended for areas with high traffic density and/or areas with low lighting as e.g. highways.
The rib line equipment is a good solution if you are only going to work with flat fixed-line width markings and rib line application.
An alternative to the rib line equipment is the Borum thermoplastic extruder with which you can apply various flat and profiled markings. The extruder also uses a different application method by extruding an even layer of material on the road surface. Therefore, if the surface is rough or uneven, the line is the same as it follows the imperfections. In other words, the material consumption will be predictable according to the adjustments and will not be as influenced by the type and condition of the road surface.
Extrusor para termoplástico de dimensiones de 30 a 50 cm, equipado con las válvulas estándar de 5 cm (dimensiones alternativas de válvulas entre 5-10 cm.) El transporte del material del tanque al extrusor se realiza mediante la bomba de tornillo de accionamiento hidráulico. Bomba de tornillo equipada con un sistema de recirculación permanente de termoplástico que asegura un flujo constante por las válvulas dosificadoras cuando el material no es extrudido. Válvulas del extrusor cilíndricas para asegurar la frecuencia de trabajo máxima durante la extrusión de marcación. Están equipados con un sistema interno de calentamiento mediante aceite.
Transmisión hidráulica con motor, eje, válvula de seguridad y válvula de cierre on/off.
Thermoplastic is a durable material that cures quickly and adheres strongly to the road surface. It can be used for applications of both flat lines (also known as type 1 lines) or of thick profiled lines and markings (also known as type 2 lines).
This type of material is used on various types of roads, but you will often see it on highways or motorways as it can withstand high traffic density, it has a high visibility at night and during wet conditions and glass beads can be mixed in for enhancing visibility.
Sliding retainer frame, upon which 1-3 spray guns and 1-3 bead guns can be attached. Easy slidable from side to side for an optimal working position. Ground distance is maintained by retainer wheels hereby ensuring a constant road marking width.
Lifting of retainer from operators seat is done using a hydraulic cylinder.
All material pipes are oil-jacketed and insulated to maintain an ideal material temperature.
Effective heating of the complete unit using a centrifugal pump, 42 L/min, hydraulically driven.
Line thickness is typically between 0.75 mm to 1.5 mm.
Marking speed up to 15 km/h depending on the work conditions, operator, etc.
Automatic high-capacity spray plastic gun. Consists of an oil jacketed gun body and a pneumatic cylinder. Possibility to apply line widths ranging from 10 - 20 cm depending on line thickness, work conditions, application speed and layer thickness. As an alternative, we offer a narrow nozzle, which can spray 5-15 cm with one gun. Optional narrow nozzle size of 3 mm or wide nozzle size of 7 mm.
The guns are mounted on a sliding retainer frame, on which 1-3 spray guns and 1-3 bead guns are attached. Easily slidable from side to side for an optimal working position. Ground distance is maintained by retainer wheels to ensure a constant road marking width. All material pipes are oil-jacketed and insulated to maintain an ideal material temperature. Lifting of retainer from operators seat using a hydraulic cylinder.
Due to the equipment working via a pressure vessel, it is very simple and easy to use as the pressure in the vessel is the same as the pressure in the application. Furthermore, the tank requires very little maintenance.
Thermoplastic spray markings are a cost-efficient solution as the applied lines do not require as much material as extruded profiled markings. Furthermore, this type of material forms a uniform application that is more durable and dries faster compared to cold paint applications.
The Borum LineMaster control unit is an easy way of setting and controlling your line marking jobs. The LineMaster is attached to the operator's section of the machine and gives you full control of all your line marking tasks, from line application and pre-marking to reporting and invoicing.
It is possible to store up to 99 different line types, and to arrange these in up to 30 different marking programs. You are also able to pre-set line widths, line types and different combinations to have them ready for marking, and can instantly adjust them on the go.
Furthermore, you are able to view the status of various parts of the machine (e.g. compressor) on the computer screen that will help with correctly maintaining the machine and avoiding break downs.
