Know-How & Upgrades

We have been building dipping machines since 1946 and have gained extensive practical knowledge and experience over eighty years. We now make this know-how available to others.

You do not always need to purchase a complete machine. We can also provide the right know-how and solutions for specific parts or optimizations. In short: everything involved in a modern and efficient dipping line.

Latex Expertise & Support

A dipping machine is only as good as the latex it dips. We bring in-depth latex knowledge, independent experts with their own laboratories and, on request, the latex itself.

As a manufacturer of various dipping machines and related equipment, and on request a supplier of latex as a raw material, it is essential to have in-depth knowledge and experience in the field of latex. Dutch Dipping Technologies has been building that experience since 1946.

Our specialists

We are fortunate to work with several independent latex experts with many years of practical experience. They support us with valuable advice and perform tests in their own laboratories, so compound, process and product can be verified before and during production.

Guidance & support

Our experts are present during installation and remain available after commissioning to assist and advise during the production process. You are not left alone once the line runs: the latex knowledge stays within reach.

Latex as a raw material

On request, Dutch Dipping Technologies also supplies latex as a raw material for your production. Combined with our latex centrifuge plants and process know-how, this means one partner can cover the whole chain: from the latex to the machine to the finished product.

Upgrade your existing machines

In addition, we are happy to help you upgrade your existing machines to the latest standards and technologies, bringing the performance, efficiency and reliability of your current line up to today's level without the investment of a complete new installation.

Your Existing Dipping Line Can Often Perform Much Better

Do you have an older dipping line that is still mechanically sound? A completely new production line is not always the best solution. Dutch Dipping Technologies can inspect, modernise and upgrade existing dipping lines with today's improved technologies.

Dipping technology continues to develop. New solutions can make production simpler, faster, more reliable, easier to control and more energy-efficient. Many of these technologies can also be integrated into an existing machine.

What Can We Improve?

Depending on your existing installation, product and production process, Dutch Dipping can investigate upgrades such as:

• Automatic former cleaning – Modern former-cleaning systems can reduce manual cleaning and help maintain more consistent process quality.
• Improved stainless-steel dipping tanks – Modern tank design and improved circulation can reduce sedimentation and unwanted deposits while keeping the dipping compound more homogeneous.
• Automatic stripping – Products no longer always need to be stripped manually from the formers. Automatic stripping can reduce labour requirements and improve production consistency.
• Modern ovens and energy systems – Improved heating concepts, better insulation, heat recovery and more efficient energy sources can reduce energy consumption and production costs.
• Sensors and process control – Temperature, liquid level, speed, pressure and other important process parameters can be measured and monitored automatically for better process control.
• New and improved formers – Modern materials, surface treatments and improved former designs can contribute to better product quality and easier production.
• Alternatives to talc and traditional anti-tack systems – Depending on the product, modern surface treatments such as a suitable PU dip or coating may provide an alternative to traditional powder or talc processes.
• Energy-efficient water heating – Hot water required for processes such as leaching can, where suitable, be supported by solar thermal energy, heat recovery or other efficient heating systems.

Do Not Replace What Still Works

An existing dipping line represents a major investment. Our first approach is therefore to determine which parts can remain in service. Good mechanical components do not need to be replaced unnecessarily. By modernising only the areas where real improvements can be achieved, an existing installation can often remain productive and competitive for many more years.

More Production, Less Labour and Lower Energy Consumption

A well-planned upgrade can provide several benefits at the same time: a more stable process, higher product quality, less manual work, better process control, reduced downtime and lower energy consumption. The most valuable improvements will depend on the individual machine and product.

Let Dutch Dipping Review Your Existing Machine

It does not matter whether your dipping line was originally manufactured by Dutch Dipping or by another supplier. Send us information, photographs, drawings and technical details of your existing installation. We can review which modern technologies can be integrated and which upgrades can provide the greatest benefit for your production.

Your existing dipping line does not have to become obsolete.
Dutch Dipping Technologies can help bring it up to today's production standards.

Build your own line with our know-how

Would you rather manufacture your dipping line (partly) in your own country? We provide the engineering, guidance and specialised components to make that possible.
