The Gelcoat Reciprocator Unit is designed to automatically produce flat panels or sheets using a chopper gun and/or gelcoat spray gun that traverses a mold or table. Spray-up and rollout are both completely automated, and some contoured shapes may be produced when part of the rolling is performed by hand. The system travels at about 5 feet/second (1.5m/second) across the table and is capable of applying a 15 mil (.38mm) gel coat with a tolerance of +/- .005 inch (.127mm). A maximum production rate of 5400 square feet/hour (500 square meters/hour) has been attained at 15 mil thickness. When the digital read-out system is used, accuracy can be monitored during set-up and operation of the machine. Includes pumping systems, nitrogen charging system, hooded fume collectors with filters and 3/4 HP exhaust fan.
The Gelcoat Reciprocator by Magnum Venus Products (MVP) is an advanced automated system designed to deliver high-speed, precision gelcoat and lamination application for flat panel and sheet production. Using a traversing gelcoat spray gun and/or chopper gun, the system automates both spray-up and roll-out processes to ensure consistent coating thickness, improved repeatability, and reduced labor requirements. With travel speeds of up to 5 feet per second and production capabilities reaching 5,400 square feet per hour, the Gelcoat Reciprocator helps manufacturers achieve high-volume output while maintaining excellent finish quality and tight application tolerances. Its PLC-controlled operation, digital monitoring capabilities, and automatic flush system enhance process control and efficiency, while compatibility with epoxy, polyester, and vinylester materials provides application flexibility. Designed for seamless integration with mold drives, environmental enclosures, and other MVP automation solutions, the Gelcoat Reciprocator is an ideal choice for composite manufacturers seeking greater productivity, consistency, and cost-effective production.
