Operating principle
The unit is equipped with a corrosion free water tank with a content of approx. 25 litres. The cooling compressor cools the water content to the required temperature. The resultant heat leaves the unit through the cover and the side panels. Should the water temperature be too low, the heating element will be activated automatically.
- Self-optimizing microprocessor controller with digital display of the set and actual temperature. With high precision regulation in 1/10° range; can be adjusted to read °C or °F.
- Digital flow indication with control of the minimum flow.
- All components in contact with water are made of corrosion resistant stainless steel or bronze.
- Long life expectancy due to the electronic control of the compressors operating time.
- If the water in the system does not reach the required temperature, the built-in heating will be activated automatically.
- Automatic or manual water refill.
- Automatic level control with prewarning at low water level.
- Horn in case of failure.
- All failures are visually indicated.
- Unit on castors.

- Mastic Sealant Application
In automotive manufacturing and repair, mastic sealants are applied to seams, joints, and panels, reducing noise and vibration and preventing water and dust infiltration. - Structural adhesive application
Increasing demand for vehicle weight reduction, enhanced safety, and increased reliability, structural adhesive utilization in automotive body-in-white (BIW) applications has been growing. High-strength adhesives paired with mechanical joining methods can improve the stiffness, strength, and fatigue life of automobile structures. Other advantages, such as lower noise and vibration levels, can be acquired in addition to more strong, stable structures. - Crash Sealer Application
Cutting vehicle weight without sacrificing safety is a major engineering challenge. As a result, crash safety bonding is now the most significant bonding process in the car body structure (as it directly impacts the performance of the car body structure sections in the event of a crash). - Anti flutter sealant application
The function of an anti-flutter application is to reduce or eliminate any “fluttering” or vibration of the outer and inner panels relative to each other. This application is more commonly used on horizontal closure panels such as hoods and deck lids ̶ and to a lesser degree on vertical panels, like doors and lift gates. - Hem flange bonding
Patvin offers a broad range of applications for hem flange bonding. Although typically used with hang-on parts, the inclusion of glass beads also makes Patvin application suitable for use in body structures. The advantage of the glass beads includes “zero-gap” avoidance, which leads to better adhesion, mechanical performance, aging and corrosion properties. Depending on the customer requirements and processes, glass spheres of different sizes can be integrated.

FAQs
A sealant application system is used to apply sealants effectively within body shops, ensuring precise and uniform application of materials, thus helping improve the quality of repairs, reducing waste during the sealing process.
A sealant supply system works by delivering materials directly to application tools, maintaining consistent pressure and flow thus ensuring the right amount of sealant is available when needed.
Mastic sealant in automotive applications gives flexibility and durability for sealing joints and seams, clinging well to multiple surfaces, thus making it ideal for body shop repairs, reducing noise and vibration in vehicles.
Automated application sealants are used with robotic systems in body shops ensuring consistent application and high-quality finishes. Thus helping streamline the repair process, saving time and labor costs while improving accuracy.
