The Consultex IQ-141 series Rotor Spray System represents a significant advancement in spray application
technology. The patented (US Patent 5,795,391 European
Patent 0,796,662) Alternating Rotor Technology opens
the door to new applications not before possible.
Similar devices had all rotors turning in one direction.
This made it necessary for each rotor to have its own
window for the liquid to exit the Rotor Carrier. Each
window and the distance of the rotor to the substrate
had to be precisely calibrated and maintained in order
to achieve uniform application.
The Consultex rotor carrier incorporates a single window with an alternating rotor direction. Having a single
opening not only allows the rotor carrier to perform
more efficiently by increasing the add-on ratio and
add-on quantities, it promotes total spray uniformity
regardless the distance of the rotor to the substrate.
Due to the increased rotor carrier efficiency, many types
of solutions previously unsprayable due to foaming and
shearing can now be sprayed.
The IQ-141 Rotor Spray System can be installed to spray
onto a substrate regardless of the path orientation,
i.e. vertical to horizontal. The IQ-141 product line
offers two standard rotor spray systems. For water
only applications, Consultex offers The IQ Wave.
For Chemical applications, the IQ Chemica can be
customized to meet individual customer needs.
• Foil Industries (Plastic/Metal)
Antistat, Antifog, Silicones, Print Primer
• Particle Board and MDF
Release Agents, Hardeners

IQ-141 Wave
Ready made unit - Consultex Quality and Service
An economical option designed for water only installations. Even though it does not include some of the features
of the Chemica, the Wave still offers the end user the
ability to program the add-on quantities via a monochrome
programmable touch screen HMI. The Wave comes with
the same flow monitor as the Chemica guaranteeing the
exact desired add-on quantity. Also included: one supply
filter, one return filter and access cabling.

Technical Advantages
All major mechanical and electrical systems are modular for easy
maintenance and cleaning.
A removable 25-liter (and optional 60-liter) with pressure-level
sensor with no moving parts
ensures low maintenance and easy
cleaning.
Standard system designed for
water-soluble chemicals have a
PH range of 2-8 and temperatures
of up to 180° F (82° C).
Duplex filtration system with automatic filter switchover. (Chemica
systems only.)
Optional Equipment includes belt
monitor, vacuum system for fumes
and second pumping station if
two rotor carriers are implemented
and each rotor carrier is to spray
independent quantities of solution.
In 1974, the late Frederic Niemann created Consultex,
a company to primarily serve the the textile industry.
When textile manufacturing began declining in Europe
and the US, Consultex sought to diversify its product
line and customer base. After years of development,
Consultex launched its “IQ” line of coating equipment.
The present day IQ operating principle offers solutions
for a variety of markets that reach outside the boundaries of the textile industry. Today, Consultex has IQ
systems operational in a variety of industries including,
Textile, Nonwovens, Tissue, Plastic and Paper industries.
Although Consultex provides standard application
systems, the in-house design team can quickly develop
and construct a custom application system specific to
the individual customer’s needs.
Consultex Systems, Inc. is headquartered in Spartanburg, South Carolina, USA, where it manufactures and
tests all machines prior to shipping to its customers
worldwide.

The reputation earned by Frederic Niemann as a
company dedicated to providing quality equipment
and outstanding service continues to be honored
today. Consultex invites you to visit its facility and run
a trial with your product in order to experience the
difference first hand and see why Consultex is the
intelligent choice for your spray application needs.
