TechnologyDay & International Expo
Where the world meets

Since 2001 the HOFMANN Technology Day annually offers a dia-

logue forum for road markers, material manufacturers, authori-
ties and ministries as well as for research and education.

Hofmann organizes the probably largest worldwide event of this kind

each year, thus contributing significantly to bringing together the
Who‘s Who in the sector of road marking technology.

The Rellingen-based company has again made it a priority to impress

its high-ranking specialist audience with fascinating technical lectures.
To ensure that all the international experts will be able to follow the
interesting offer, the lectures will be simultaneously interpreted into
German, English, Spanish, French and Russian.

Five continents amidst discussions concerning technology and progress,

technical lectures about road marking developments, the latest ma-
chine technology, sophisticated technologies, highly-developed oper-
ating controls and more are what make the annual TechnologyDay in
Rellingen such a well-known event.

Exhibitors are welcome to present their offers on trade booths graphi-

cally and tangibly to the audience.

Horizontal preheaters
Horizontal preheaters are
heated indirectly (with heat
transfer oil) by gas- or oil
burners (24V or 230V).
• Oil heated dividing wall (with
passing) increases melting
capacity.
• Two-chamber-system: prevents
preheated material in the rear
chamber from cooling down
when fresh solid material is
being fed into the front cham-
ber.Therefore, ready melted
material always at your disposal.
• Reliable sealing of agitator
shaft mechanics against heat
influences.
• Circulation system for heat
transfer oil.
• Heated agitator shaft.
Heating
Direct Heating
This method of heating offers the
greatest melting capacity.
However, the danger of local
overheating in the melting pot
requires a careful control of the
heating dependent on melting
temperature, filling level and agi-
tator operation.

Path-dependent Airless markings
and line width stabilizer
Line width stabilizer keeps
variation in line width during
path-dependent Airless spray-
ing method (AMAKOS®) auto-
matically in minimum ranges.
HOFMANN pumps for Airless
spraying permit variation of mark-
ing speed over a large range at a
constant paint quantity per metre
of line length (AMAKOS®). The
paint quantity pumped by the
pump is thus proportional to the
speed of travel of the machine.
Hence, as the speed increases, so
too does the quantity of paint
that is pressed through the spray-
ing nozzle per unit of time,
accompanied by an increase of
pressure in the paint pipe to the
nozzle. It is well-known that an
increase in the spraying pres-
sure results in an enlargement
of the spraying angle. With an
unchanged distance between the
gun and the road surface this
results in an enlargement of the
line width. This effect is depend-
ent on the nozzle and the paint
used. However, due to the pres-
sure influence variator line width
variation can be kept within mini-
mum ranges in a large speed area.
Refer also to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_surface_marking
• 68 •
Functional principle
The component marked by an R
in the illustration is a frame that
always moves parallel to the road
surface. The pistol holder with
the spray gun fastened to it is
connected to the frame via artic-
ulated arms. An electrical adjust-
ment cylinder is attached between
the frame R and the upper artic-
ulated arm and the operation of
the same moves the spray gun
upwards or downwards.
A pressure sensor P continuously
records the actual spraying pres-
sure of the paint and is transmit-
ting the values to a control unit,
which calculate the height of the
spray gun in such a way that the
line width almost remains con-
stant even in case the spraying
angle varies.
With increasing marking speed,
i.e. with increasing paint pressure,
the spray gun is pushed further
and further downwards as a result
of which the effect of the enlarge-
ment of the spraying angle on the
spraying width is compensated.

dots enable water to drain

from the marking reliably. The
result is better maintenance of

• Modular build of spray bar.

• Nozzles and nozzle holder can

be attached variably, therefore
line width and line distance can
be determined by yourself.

• Very efficient system by reason

of the quick exchange of

• Marking system for agglomer-
ate markings, which efficiently
applies structure markings on
the road in order to increase
night visibility during rain and
wet conditions.
• These structure markings can
be renewed (re-marked) or can
be applied on already existing
roadmarkings in case a plain
effect is requested during
daylight and reduced inspection
distance.
• Application of whole container
filling without intermediate
flushing of the corresponding
systems (bellow pump, extruder
and pressurised container) thus
longer stops can be avoided.
• Exact compliance of mixing
ratio, therefore mixing as a
matter of trial and error is
eliminated.
• Marking speeds up to 10 km/h*)
can be achieved (bellow pump,
extruder and pressurised con-
tainer). Using the screed box
system up to 4 km/h*).
• Suitable for the application of
highly abrasive mediums and
solid matters with a size of up
to Ø 2,5 mm (bellow pump and
pressurised container) as well as
up to Ø 0,6 mm (extruder and
screed box).
• Due to the optimum drainage
the peaks of the stochastic
marking remains reachable for
headlights and will reflect even
during heavy rainfall.
• Acoustic warning signal in case
of lack of hardener.

• Using the bellow pump system
double lines and line combi-
nations in one single marking
operation are possible. Using
the pressurised container system
double lines are also possible,
however line combinations only
restricted [refer to Hofmann
Info N° 396].
