Reliable control directly after powdering: MB Coater Powder Application Monitoring
- Inline monitoring of the application immediately after powdering
- Immediate alarm notification for missing or insufficient powdering
- Flexible integration – as a stand-alone or directly in the MB Coater system
Secure your product quality!
When powder application becomes a verifiable process
Uniform powder application is crucial in many situations – for example, as a release agent in the jacket extrusion of cables or the processing of rubber profiles. Only if the application is complete and homogeneous can all further production steps run smoothly.
In practice, however, powder application is often not directly checked. Most systems monitor material flow – not the result on the product. This is precisely where MB Coater Powder Application Monitoring comes in: It checks immediately after powder application whether the product surface is sufficiently coated. It uses a camera-based system with contrast detection for this.
If insufficient powdering is detected, the system issues a clear alarm signal – in the line, in real time. This allows operators to intervene directly and correct the error before the product is further processed.
Camera-based control directly after powder application
Detection of insufficient powdering in real time
Immediate alarm notification for direct error correction
Gain control and security with powder application monitoring
Instead of relying on random samples, powder application monitoring provides continuous quality control during ongoing operation – especially at high speeds where manual visual inspection is not reliably possible.
Visible
With up to two cameras, the application can be monitored almost all around. This allows you to detect irregularities immediately – directly after powdering, without any time loss.
Flexible
The monitoring unit can be integrated into new MB Coater systems as well as a stand-alone solution in existing lines – regardless of the system. This ensures maximum retrofittability and investment security.
Field-tested
The entire unit is designed for continuous use in demanding production environments. It proves itself daily in production lines with different speeds and constant quality pressure.

Functions and Features of our Powder Application Monitoring
The MB Coater Powder Application Monitoring is not a measuring system in the classic sense, but a visual control instance that works exactly where it matters – immediately after powder application. The highlight: The powder application monitoring also guarantees seamless control of cable banding for defects and ensures the highest level of quality assurance.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the MB Coater Powder Application Monitoring is designed as a stand-alone variant and can be integrated into almost any existing line – regardless of the manufacturer of the powdering machine.
The system reliably detects whether powder has been applied – i.e., the presence and distribution of the powder. It is not a measuring system for quantity determination.
The technology is predominantly used for cables, rubber profiles, and hoses. Other applications are also possible depending on the contrast ratio.
Yes, performance depends on the contrast between powder and product, as well as environmental contamination. Accuracy may be limited in very dusty areas.
Operation is via a panel displaying process data. Height adjustment and positioning of the unit are possible without tools.
