impact mill brings in €0.5m 'nanoflake' order
The high impact mill technology
developed by Zoz GmbH at its plant in Wenden, Germany has
paid off with a €500 000 order from China. Delivery of the
machine to Nonfemet in Shenzen later this year will enable
the company to start large-scale production of very fine
ductile metal flakes. Flake metal is used in metallic car
body paint and for the manufacture of electromagnetic
shielding materials.
The order comes hard on the heels of the successful completion
of two months’ research and development work carried out at the
Technical University of Kunming under the leadership of
Professor Xiaolan Cai to develop a market-ready metal flake.
Chief executive Henning Zoz said that his company’s technology allowed the production of flake at up to 1000 times faster than conventional processing. “It is important to note that flakes can be formed super rapidly,” he added. “But there are major differences between this process and more conventional approaches; flakes based on metal-, metal-ceramic or metal-polymer compounds can be synthesized, which conventional processing does not allow.”
