Powder SPRAY for Billets - Blooms – B.B.
This system marks characters on the surface of hot products (typically blooms, billets and beam blanks), defined by a bright, white line (“handwritten” type) obtained spraying a special metal powder handled by a automatic ZY table.
The system assures high marking speed and excellent reliability; markings are very well readable, even in presence of irregular surfaces, also from long distance.
