Diamon-Fusion International (DFI), is set to showcase its new patented Diamon-Fusion® protective coating application system, the FuseCube™ this October at the global event for the glass industry, Glasstec 2014 at the Düsseldorf Exhibition Centre in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. Glasstec is Europe’s leading fairshow and trusted global base for manufacturers and distributors of flat glass and various other specialized glassware, enabling 1,300 exhibitors and over 55,000 world-wide industry professionals to come together in one place to focus on in-depth insight into future developments in the glass industry.
Glasstec 2014 provides the ideal platform to introduce this innovative technology provided by DFI’s FuseCube, offering the most advanced system for applying a long-lasting hydrophobic protective coating. This innovative application system which bears the CE Mark, is fully automated saving glass fabricators and manufacturers tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars annually in material and labor costs compared to any other traditional spray-application of these surface coatings. The elimination of cure times and small footprint dramatically increases manufacturer throughput, capacity and profit per square meter of production space. With the smallest version having the ability to apply Diamon-Fusion to both sides and all edges of up to 75 panels – amounting to over 167 square meters (over 1800 square feet) of surface area – in approximately one hour, the FuseCube™ can coat fifteen times more surface area than any traditional manual spray-applied method in the same factory footprint.
The FuseCube is as simple to operate as a vending machine. Operators load the glass, drop in DFI's proprietary Diamon-Fusion cartridges, press a button and coat hundreds of square meters (or thousands of square feet) in less than an hour. The automatic system conducts the entire coating process and indicates with a light when the cycle is done and the glass can be removed. The FuseCube can then simply be unloaded, reloaded, and then run again providing maximum throughput at a minimum cost. Each piece of glass is entirely coated with the patented Diamon-Fusion coating, making them highly water and oil repellent, harder to stain, easier to clean, impact and scratch resistant (reducing transportation and handling damage), and more brilliant.
In addition, the FuseCube reduces safety and regulatory concerns by eliminating risks of handling and spraying coating chemicals within facilities. FuseCube’s single-use cartridge means no chemical to handle or spray, so no safety gear is needed. It also delivers a cleaner environment by providing a zero-emission process approved by the most stringent air quality management agencies in the world.
“Glasstec is unquestionably the global industry-leading forum and we are genuinely thrilled to showcase our one-of-a-kind FuseCube coating system. This important development for our global growth has been our ultimate goal; and we are proud to have a protective coating chamber on 'Glasstec ground’. DFI’s streamlined and automatic FuseCube process can truly offer unseen benefits to both the local industry in Germany and globally,” stated Guillermo Seta, DFI’s corporate vice president. “Since inception, DFI has been working to perfect our patented Diamon-Fusion® coating application chamber technology. With the FuseCube™ we’ve developed a system that is the cleanest, easiest, safest and most cost-effective protective coating application method in the global protective coatings market.” added Russell Slaybaugh, DFI's vice president and general manager.
The FuseCube’s core technology is operating in over three dozen locations across ten countries in North America, Europe and Asia.
