Agglomerate application methods are used for applying profiled markings (also known as structures or type 2 markings) with an undefined shape that resemble a splatter effect. The agglomerate applications can be applied with either thermoplastic or 2 component cold plastic material.
Profiled road markings are the newest road marking technology where a part of the road marking typology is raised over the road surface. This type of markings are becoming more and more popular because of the increased road safety it provides due to high visibility in wet conditions and at night.

2 component agglomerate equipment
Line types: Agglomerate markings
Equipment: The agglomerate equipment (a spike roller) is mounted under the 2-component extruder, which is slightly wider than the roller (flex shutters).
- The agglomerate equipment only works together with the 2-component extruder
- The roller is hydraulically driven and the rpm is controlled by the LineMaster.
- The system shall be capable of handling both paint and solvent, switching between the materials.
- The LineMaster computer can activate an alarm when hardener does not flow during marking work
- The LineMaster computer can activate an alarm when there is a break in the marking works (which is longer than set in the computer)
- Recommended paint viscosity is above 8000 cp.
- Possibility to apply line widths between 10-30 cm.
- Line thickness is up to 4 mm.
- Usual working speed when doing agglomerate lines is 4-5 km/h depending on the conditions, e.g. material, line type, and operator experience.
- The cleaning process is an automated preset sequence ensuring the correct valves are opening/closing. The system is activated via the Borum LineMaster computer.
- For all Borum spray machines, the equipment is mounted on a sliding retainer frame as standard that allows you to quickly slide the equipment from one side to another
- The sliding retainer frame can be used for all Borum 2-component equipment, which makes switching equipment easy and quick.
- Optional: Depending on the configuration, the system can handle working with both 2-component cold plastic and cold paint
Thermoplastic Agglomerate equipment
Line types: Agglomerate markings
Equipment: The agglomerate equipment consists of a roller with sheet metallic blades mounted under the thermoplastic extruder.
- The agglomerate equipment only works together with the Borum thermoplastic extruder.
- The agglomerate equipment is mounted under the extruder
- The roller is hydraulically driven and the rpm is controlled by the LineMaster.
- Possibility to apply line widths between 10-30 cm.
- Line thickness is up to 4 mm.
- Usual working speed when doing agglomerate lines is 4-5 km/h depending on the conditions, e.g. material, line type and operator experience
