Thanks to its extensive experience in designing and developing processes for the surface treatment of small parts, combined with its versatility in designing customised machines, Imel is able to guide customers in developing the most reliable and economical process for achieving their objectives. Imel provides a comprehensive service, from design to optimisation of the production process, thanks to the expertise of its specialised technicians.
Imel began working on the surface treatment of small metal parts in 1980, as market demand grew for a machine dedicated to painting small zips for the fashion industry.
Demand continued to grow and expanded to other sectors: from costume jewellery to high fashion, to various fasteners used in manufacturing and construction. Imel decided to devote itself to the development of this new machine, naming it ‘Rotover’.
Over the years, several models of the same machine have followed one another, without ever losing sight of the key principles of the Rotover philosophy: robustness, versatility and ease of use and maintenance.
The processing of small parts is a sector in which Imel constantly invests in terms of research and development: the goal is customer satisfaction, which requires increasingly specific processes and ever higher standards. Imel boasts over 40 years of experience in the sector, with almost 500 Rotover product customers worldwide.
The processes we are able to design cover various finished product families, such as:
The process will be defined by the imel team from the preparation stage (brushing, flaming, etc.) to the finishing stage (mechanical tumbling, grinding, sanding, etc.) and even to the leak tests.
For years, the Rotover R130 has been a benchmark in the world of mass coating of small parts. Appreciated by customers in various sectors for its reliability, ease of use and finish quality, the R130 has helped to set new standards in the surface treatment of small components.
Thanks to the great commercial and technical success of this machine, Imel has decided to go even further, designing a new, even more advanced generation of Rotover.
The result is the new Rotover i4, a completely redesigned system that integrates the best of the experience gained and combines it with the latest technologies in automation, digitalisation and sustainability.
Chain on Edge or spindle transport systems use a floor chain with poles fixed to it, and the parts to be painted are generally attached to these poles. This type of system is very flexible, allowing the creation of processes designed specifically for particular applications, while ensuring high hourly productivity volumes.
This type of system is ideal for the treatment (ionisation, flaming, etc.) and coating (powder or liquid, top/primer) of products where, due to their size or logistical requirements, rotary drum coating (Rotover) is not possible or efficient.
Thanks to the know-how acquired over the years, Imel is able to design the optimal coating process to meet the customer’s specific product and productivity requirements.
