Colorplas International, headquartered in Rochdale, UK, has invested in two ColorPoint IP colorant dispensing units from Rexson Systems, a member of Inkmaker Group, to increase its production speed.
Colorplas is one of the leading independent British manufacturing family businesses supplying a wide range of polyester gel coats and color dispersions to a broadening marketplace.
The units, purchased to automate and streamline Colorplas’ production, are designed to shorten lead-time demands by supplying products on a just-in-time basis. Using industry 4.0 technology, the ColorPoint IPs dispenses a shared range of 23 colorant and additive components to manufacture colored gel coats. One dispensing station is dedicated solely to small 10L-20L batches, while the other is focused on the production of intermediate to large-sized batches.
