Overview
The PR500 is an automated tracer tip painting and inline curing machine engineered for ammunition production environments that require precise visual identification, uniform coating coverage and clean process control.
Tracer identification requires consistent 360-degree application and zero structural contamination. The PR500 series answers this requirement with a synchronized rotary wheel indexing system that manages each stage of the process with accuracy, stability and high-efficiency throughput.
Designed for both 5.56mm and 7.62mm tracer variants, the PR500 delivers a throughput rate of 120 PPM while maintaining controlled handling throughout the painting, drying and unloading sequence.
Product Advantages
Synchronized 5-Station Rotary Process
The PR500 uses a 5-station rotary wheel indexing logic to manage the full painting and curing sequence in a controlled, repeatable flow.
360-Degree Coating Uniformity
The system is designed to support uniform tracer tip identification with precise water-based paint application and consistent surface coverage.
Inline Drying & Secondary Cure
The process includes accelerated thermal/air drying followed by a secondary cure stage, allowing the product to move through the system efficiently without interrupting production flow.
Optional UV Joint Sealing
As a premium option, the PR500 can apply and cure a moisture barrier sealant between the cartridge mouth and the bullet jacket.
