Powder coating

Powder coating is the most popular way to protect sheet metal parts made of plain sheet metal. In our company we presently carry out powder varnishing in a paint shop with an automatic line for preliminary preparation and a manual booth for powder coating application. Maximal conveyor speed is 1.6 m/min.

Owing to the fact that the present paint shop does not enable a quick change of powder it does not fit into our JIT system and we have decided to invest in a new line for powder varnishing with a considerably bigger flow (3 m/min), equipped with an automatic powder booth made by the company GEMA; this will enable us to change a colour in 7 minutes. Moreover, the new paint shop will enable a higher quality and a constant quality level.

This investment should be completed in the middle of 2013.
