An Argentine customer purchased two sets of production lines from POLYC. The first is a wall putty production line; the second includes a 5000L concentric double-shaft mixing kettle and two cartridge high-viscosity filling machines, producing coatings, putty and paint. The putty runs at about 50,000 cps. POLYC has built lines since 2001.
Two Lines, One Order
The Argentine order combined a wall putty line with a high-solid coating line. POLYC customized every machine to the customer's engineering drawings, with all details built to the customer's requirements.
- Wall Putty / Car Putty Production Line as the first line.
- Concentric Double-Shaft Mixer for the 5000L high-solid kettle.
- Butterfly Double-Shaft Mixer (2 units, different capacities).
- Filling Machine (2 cartridge fillers).
- Mixing / Tinting Kettle for batch preparation.
- Argentina Latex Paint Line Guide.
Butterfly Mixer Details
The butterfly mixer's spiral blade handles the customer's material efficiently. Its direct-connection motor matches the machines the customer already operates, respecting their habits. A mixer and pressing machine run together: when filling starts, the pressing plate squeezes material by a set amount and both stop simultaneously, preventing waste and leakage.
High-Solid Coating Line
The second set serves a coating with high solid content at several thousand liters per batch. POLYC recommended a concentric double-shaft kettle with an anchor blade and an intermediate dispersing disc, the structure best suited to high-solid products. The two remaining products are filled in plastic cartridges and cans, so a specially customized cartridge-and-can filler was supplied.
Automated Cartridge Filling
POLYC customized the filler to automate from lid sorting, filling, sealing and punching to date printing and cartridge sorting, enabling mass production and easier operation. Our paint line setup guide and paint factory equipment guide cover the scope.

How a coating or ink production line Is Built
A coating or ink production line is more than a list of machines; it is a balanced flow from pre-mixing through grinding, let-down, filtration and filling. The slowest station sets the real capacity, so POLYC designs each line around the customer's most demanding product and daily volume, then sizes the rest to absorb it. Skipping that balancing step is the most common reason a new line underperforms its quoted output, because every faster station simply waits for the bottleneck.
Utilities and Civil Works
A production line also needs the unglamorous parts: power and earthing for motors, cooling water or chiller capacity for the mill, compressed air for valves and filling, and floor loads strong enough for a filled bulk tank. POLYC supplies the layout and utility schedule up front so the civil works and the machines are ordered together, which avoids the expensive late surprises that stall a commissioning.
POLYC's Turnkey Scope
POLYC MACHINE takes a coating or ink production line from layout and utility sizing to installation, commissioning and operator training. Since 2001 the company has delivered more than 8,000 systems to over 60 countries, with a 3-year warranty on core machines and application engineering that begins with the customer's formulation. For producers scaling from manual batches to an automated plant, this single-supplier scope avoids the finger-pointing that happens when several vendors each own one station of the same line.
| Line stage | POLYC equipment |
|---|---|
| Pre-mix and wet-out | High-speed disperser, mixing kettle |
| Grinding | Bead mill or basket mill |
| Let-down and fill | Planetary mixer, filling machine |
| Control and traceability | Recipe management, batch records |
Plan Your Line With POLYC
Share your product, target fineness and daily volume with POLYC's engineering team, and you receive a configuration and quotation built around your real process rather than a standard package, with the utility schedule included so installation starts clean.
What a Realistic Delivery Timeline Looks Like
A turnkey line is not delivered overnight. After the layout is agreed, the typical sequence is equipment manufacturing and factory test, then shipping and customs, then installation and commissioning on site, then operator training and a supervised first production run. POLYC sequences these so civil works and machines are ready together, which is why a line quoted in weeks is usually producing within a planned, predictable window rather than an open-ended one.
Take the Next Step with POLYC
If Wall Putty Production Line for an Argentine Customer is relevant to your operation, POLYC's engineering team can review your product, target fineness and throughput and propose a machine or line matched to your process. With more than 8,000 systems delivered to over 60 countries since 2001 and a 3-year warranty on core machines, the recommendation is backed by a track record, not just a brochure.
