Today we want to talk to you about the revolutionary sanding system developed by EMC Italia that has changed the way surfaces are finished: the planar system. Let's take a look at its features, strengths, and advantages. 

FEATURES OF THE PLANAR SYSTEM
Let's start by saying that classic sanding systems are based on three dimensions:

• conveyor belt feed speed
• pad pressure
• abrasive belt rotation speed

With the new Planar System®, in addition to the standard parameters, there is also a fourth dimension: the rotation speed of the rotating unit, which determines the sanding effect on the panel. This new process completely changes the dynamics of the sanding process because, while in the traditional process it is the abrasive belt that enters the panel, in the Planar System® it is the panel that enters the belt. This movement ensures perfect sanding on all 4 edges of the panel, guaranteeing a perfect “radius” between the edge and the corner. In this way, the belt no longer enters and exits the piece, but rather the piece “PLANES” on the belt.

STRENGTHS
⦁    Easy to use thanks to its intuitive system. Simple to program thanks to the 15.4" touch screen on the machine and the ability to save over 200 programs. Intuitive because, thanks to the simplified graphics, you can perfect your work directly from the machine by checking the piece and changing the settings quickly and with decimal precision.
⦁    Planar sanding means precision: it maintains the perfection of the design at all levels thanks to the rotary system. 
⦁    Achieves flatness on every surface. Paint/melamine/polyester/long grain/cross grain/mosaic/Corian, etc.
⦁    Higher production: sanding “piece by piece”/ “door by door,” thus producing more square meters of pieces at the same speed. 
⦁    Reduced environmental impact. You can save up to 60% on electricity.
⦁    Optimization of belt life, which, by rotating, ensures uniform consumption of the abrasive belt, thus doubling its life.

WHAT SETS THE PLANAR SYSTEM APART FROM THE COMPETITION?
As we explained at the beginning of the article, the real uniqueness of this new sanding process lies in the rotation. This fourth dimension, i.e., the rotation speed of the rotating unit, which is added to the traditional dimensions: conveyor belt feed speed, pad pressure, and abrasive belt rotation speed, determines the sanding effect on the panel.

It is an ambitious system with no production limits, as all our customers who have chosen to use it can attest, and it requires no special training thanks to its intuitive and simple design.

The result of flatness, compactness, speed, simplicity, and affordability is the Planare System®, which gave rise to the Plano, a machine created and patented to fully absorb the system.
