Plascoat and specialist engineering partner Gravatom inform us that they have broken into the European fire extinguisher manufacturing market with their new, top-of-the-range Falcon 360.

A leading German manufacturer has made a major six-figure investment in a semiautomated Falcon 360 system designed with a reported capability of applying corrosion resistant linings to as many as 360 steel cylinders an hour when manned by just two operators.

The German manufacturer's major investment in the new system is expected to achieve a rapid return through significant powder savings, as well as highly energy efficient heating systems.
