/24-7PressRelease/ - CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA, June 2, 2008 - Streamline Automation today announced the addition of the FROGCoat foam coating machine to its FROG3D foam cutting and carving system. With this addition, Streamline's customers can now take their architectural foam projects from idea to installation with one integrated system.
The use of foam and foam cutting technology is quickly changing how businesses approach the production of architectural features. Coating foam pieces with durable finishes creates a lightweight, cost efficient and easy-to-install replacement for traditional concrete or wood materials. Officially launched today, Streamline Automation's new FROGCoat machine provides an automated solution for coating architectural foam trim, moldings and other features. Materials are simply fed through the machine on a conveyor system while coating material is evenly applied, creating consistent end products without the inaccuracies of manual coating methods.
FROGCoat rounds out the capabilities of Streamline's FROG3D system, a line of foam carving equipment made up of 3D laser scanning, hot wire cutting and CNC milling equipment. "The FROGCoat machine is a natural extension of our existing FROG3D foam carving system," explained Dwayne Lehman, President, Streamline Automation. "This system lets our clients create architectural features with the same detail and craftsmanship of traditional processes, but without the time and labor. The addition of FROGCoat to this system now lets them quickly apply coating to these pieces to get them installation-ready. Our system can now help at every stage of the process, introducing more efficiency and productivity into our clients' businesses."
FROGCoat features industrial grade steel and aluminum construction, easy operation and set-up, 24 feet/minute coating speeds, a variable speed tread belt drive system and a fully adjustable alignment system. Like all of Streamline Automation's products, FROGCoat is backed by comprehensive training and technical support.
