New Giardina Auto-Spray Line Installed For A Very Special Use

One of the worlds largest manufacturers of engineered sealing solutions has taken delivery of a custom width Giardina coating line from Schuberts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Built to a working width of 1500mm, this line sprays a very accurate layer of product, recovers all the overspray, to be filtered and used again and then dried inside an inline drying tunnel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The automatic belt cleaning system on the spray machine means that all overspray is recovered. It then passes through filters and back into a constant mixing stainless steel tank, before being dosed back into the machine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The automatic guns are positioned inline and fitted with very accurate nozzles and the machine has the ability to control flow, pressure and therefore build-up of coating.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once sprayed, the product goes into a high speed jetted air oven, connected to in-line waterheaters and heat exchanges so the oven can run at a steady 70-80c irrespective of the factory temperature.

 

Running at 6m/min, this really is a special fully automatic Giardina spray line supplied by Schuberts!

Canadian Manufacturer Takes Delivery Of A New Finishing System From Schuberts

A new Schubert installation has been made, with our partners at Yorke Towne, at one of Canada’s premier residential, joinery and commercial manufacturing companies, supplying their customers for over 20 years.

 

The installation comprises of a fully custom built flash-off and Schubox drying system, connected to a manual spray shop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once sprayed, the product is taken into the flash-off zone to settle and vent. The flash-off air is taken into the Schubox for oxidisation of VOC’s.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After flash-off, the Schubox is next. Working at just 40c, it pulls the solvent carriers out and cross-links the coating in record time. After 30 mins in the Schubox, the coatings are perfectly dry and ready for either denibbing or fitting up after topcoat.

Glass Coater Goes Schubert Route

Not all our installations are large or high-value ones….

Here we have a modest manual installation for a glass coater.

The equipment comprises of a manual spray shop enclosure and a retro-fitted Kit-Cat drying system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once sprayed in their waterbased coatings, the glass is put into the drying zone, fitted with gas catalytic infrared. This means the drying time is vastly reduced, the coating is properly dried and the ‘open time’ for dust and contamination is down to 20 mins.

MDF Producer installs Giardina Spray Line and Schubox Drying System

With over 100 different profile sections to deal with, a new coating and drying system has been installed by Schuberts to keep up with a massive increase in high quality painted MDF and timber. From 20mm to 300mm widths and up to 4600mm long, the new system will deal with it all.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The new system comprises of a brush sanding machine, connected to a Giardina profile spray machine, all running at 35m/min. The 1VE spray machine in fitted with Wagner spray equipment and will do a full colour change in around 5 minutes and is able to deal with 1k or 2k coatings. 1k coatings can be recovered, filtered and blended back into virgin paint.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once sanded, the profiles are then coated with waterbased 1k paint, taken off and loaded onto trolleys.

The trolleys are then placed into a custom dimension Schubox for rapid and safe curing of the coatings at 30-34c. Drying the paint at low temperature and quickly with the gas catalytic IR technology means no fibre raise, no damage to the coating and no movement in the MDF or timber.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The new system doubles production rates, dries coatings in a quarter of the time it used to and gives a much higher end quality.

Another Glass Processing Company Go Schubox Route

Another successful installation completed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This time in NI for a well-established and lovely architectural glass processing company.

Custom made Schubox CIR drying system for their range of solvent and waterbased coatings from a manual spray booth. Reducing drying times and that finishing bottleneck from tens of hours to 45-90 mins.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New Giardina Multilevel Vertical Dryer For Profiles Installed

A new Giardina Finishing custom-made high speed vertical oven has been installed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The system is designed for high quality exterior coatings on solid wooden profiles, up to 6500mm long x 300mm wide.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At the infeed of this multi-level cross transfer, a stacking machine creates a ‘batch’ of pieces (1250mm wide) on each level, one at a time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The 10 levels of fully motorised chains, move the batches along the oven.

 

At the end of the oven, after the drying cycle, another stacking machine collects up one batch at a time and deposits it on the unloading level (11th); here, another group of motorised chains and belts singularize the pieces on a outfeed roller conveyor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This oven gives a 50 minutes drying time at a speed of 11 pieces per minute (70m/min lineal line speed!), thanks to the 100 metre long transfer chains.

 

The complete system, shown in the pictures, has been installed on a roof/terrace to save space inside the main factory and has its own air handling/heating system.

High End Bespoke Producer Installs A New Schuberts Installation

A leading British manufacturer of exquisite bespoke furniture, cabinetry and specialist joinery has installed a finishing system from Schuberts. Craftmanship, attention to detail and peerless service are central to the company’s ethos and has ensured successful collaborations with eminent private, professional and commercials clients worldwide.

 

With finishes ranging from 1k solvent, 2k solvent, waterbased and specialist coatings, the client is at the top end of the industry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The new, totally bespoke finishing system, includes for twin spray shops, paint mix room/storage room and drying room.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All elements of the installation are ATEX rated for solvent use.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Each zone has it’s own filtered air input system, ensuring that the zones are kept free from contamination. The spray zones work with auto-balance inverter driven fans, ensuring that dust and contamination is kept out of the rooms when the doors are open, or the filters start to clog. The HMI touch screen tells the operators the condition of the filters and air pressures.

Cobra, Toronto, Trust Schuberts And Giardina For A Flexible Finishing System

 

 

 

 

One of Canada’s leading manufacturers of wood, steel and GRP doors has recently taken delivery of a new Schuberts manual finishing system and a Giardina automatic spray machine integrated into one special plant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The entire system comprises of a manual spray shop enclosure, flash-off zone, Schubox drying system, paint mixing room, Giardina 416 automatic spray machine, infeed and outfeed conveyors with filtered air systems.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the customer has volumes of doors and components to spray in one colour, they use the Giardina machine, offload onto trolleys in the flash-off, allow the coating to flow out and then put the trolleys into the Schubox for drying. The guns and pumps have been fitted by and the whole installation looked after by our working partner in Canada, Yorke Towne Supplies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On smaller volumes, special colours or coatings and 3D products, they hand spray in the spray shop enclosure, then flash-off and then into the Schubox for curing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This client works with multiple substrates (wood, GRP, PVC etc) and multiple types of 1k, 2k, water and solvent coatings, so truly a universal hybrid finishing system.

Kitchen Manufacturer Installs New System From Schuberts

One of the UK’s leading PLC manufacturers of kitchens, bedrooms and furniture has just installed a turn-key finishing system from Schuberts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The system comprises of a large hand finishing system, specifically for high-quality waterbased coatings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are dedicated preparation zones, with extraction and filtration of dust and contamination that ensure the pre-sanding and intercoat denibbing is contained and safe for both the operators whilst keeping the products as clean as possible.

After prep, the products are hand sprayed in a full spray enclosure. This is fitted with both filtered and balanced air input and full filtered extraction. The booth is split with adjustable dividers, meaning the working areas can be adjustable for up to 4 sprayers in their own zones.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Twin paint mix rooms either side of the system allow coatings to be mixed up safely and means the pumping systems can be installed in a safe and secure room, away from the spraying process.

Once coated, the pieces are loaded on racks and placed into the Schubox for rapid curing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Schubox is a custom design, allowing product to be loaded at one end and taken out the other. The unique long wave gas catalytic infra red technology dries coatings in record time, improving the lay-down and making sure no contamination is present.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A lovely installation and one the client is very proud of!
